Sunday Reflection

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time: The banquet of life

Jul 23, 2021

People will forget what you said to them, but they will not forget what you did for them, how you made them feel. Be kind, be gentle, be compassionate, and show love.
Sixteenth Sunday: Are we being accountable?

Jul 17, 2021

In the Gospel today, we hear how the Apostles rejoined Jesus after being sent out in pairs (last Sunday’s Gospel) and told Him all they had done and taught, and He took them to a lonely place where they could be by themselves. Reflecting on both the readings, I would summarise it in one word, “accountability.”
Fifteenth Sunday: Called, Chosen and Sent

Jul 10, 2021

The theme for today’s reading can be perceived from our second reading; Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, “In him we were claimed as God’s own chosen from the beginning under the predetermined plan of the one who guides all things as he decides by his own will; chosen to be for his greater glory, the people who put their hopes in Christ before he came.
Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Ad Hominem Disasters

Jul 03, 2021

“Hard of face and obstinate of heart,” the Lord calls them in today’s first reading. The Hebrews ended up being conquered by the Babylonians and taken into exile to what is modern day Iraq.
Twelfth Sunday: God Over Nature

Jun 19, 2021

At the end of the Book of Job, God addressed Job out of a storm and asked him if he was present when God created the world.
Eleventh Sunday: Trusting in God’s Time

Jun 12, 2021

Those of you who know me know that I have the basic attitudes of trying to do too much myself and wanting everything immediately.
Corpus Christi: On Eucharistic Adoration

Jun 05, 2021

The Solemnity of Corpus Christi forces us to take a deep look at our belief in the Eucharist as well as our participation in the Eucharistic Community that is the Church.
Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity: Being true to our real name

May 28, 2021

On Trinity Sunday we consider the name of God, Father, Son and Spirit. This is more than a theological dogma about God. It is also a doctrine about us. It is an expression of who we are. We are baptised in the name of God.
The Solemnity of Pentecost: Spiritual Dynamism

May 22, 2021

Today we celebrate a major solemnity in the Church: Pentecost. The Liturgy of the Hours provides very beautiful readings in preparation for Pentecost.
Seventh Sunday of Easter: The Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord

May 16, 2021

The early Church was forced to trust God’s care for it, and many circumstances force us to trust God and the Spirit’s work more within the Church and the world.
