Hi, I’m Fr. Aristotle Quan, a priest at St. Edward’s the Confessor Church in Dana Point, California. I’m here to share homilies that inspire and bring peace to your day. Whether you’re part of our parish or just visiting, I hope these messages help you feel closer to God’s love. Feel free to listen, reflect, and share. My prayer is that these homilies uplift you and remind you of God’s presence in your life.

Ash Wednesday 2026.

In this homily, I reflect on the meaning of ashes and what Lent is really about. It’s not just about giving something up, but about asking God what He wants from us. I share how prayer, fasting, and almsgiving can actually change our hearts — not just our habits. My hope is that forty days from now, we won’t be the same person.
