The Foundation of Prayer - Homily 13th March 2025

Mar 13 2025 12 mins  
Prayer is more than just asking God for what we need—it is a relationship of trust, surrender, and love. Today’s readings remind us that true prayer seeks first the will of God, rather than simply trying to persuade Him to grant our requests. Queen Esther's fasting and prayer were not attempts to force God's hand but acts of surrender, recognising her complete dependenc

No Neutrality Before the Truth - Homily 12th March 2025

Mar 12 2025 12 mins  
In a world that values neutrality and political correctness, Jesus calls us to make a choice—either to stand with Him or remain in spiritual emptiness. Today’s Gospel challenges us not to delay our response to God’s call, nor to seek endless signs when the truth is already before us. Like the Ninevites and the Queen of Sheba, who recognised wisdom and repented without demandi

Fasting For the Right Reasons - Homily 7th March 2025

Mar 07 2025 9 mins  
During Lent we are called to fast, pray and give alms. But do we approach these spiritual exercises merely out of obligation, or do they truly transform us to be more like Christ?Today's scripture readings remind us that we must fast with the right intentions and at the right occasion. Fasting should help us to understand the suffering of others, to learn to be more charitable,

How to Live the Fullness of Life - Homily 6th March 2025

Mar 06 2025 10 mins  
The season of Lent is an invitation to live fully, both in this life and the next.In the first reading, Moses teaches us that by following God’s commandments, we can truly prosper. These commandments aren’t meant to bind us, but to guide us away from afflicting harm — both to ourselves and others. When we love God, we begin to see His commandments as a source of freedom, not

Our Disposition for Lent - Homily 5th March 2025

Mar 05 2025 12 mins  
The season of Lent is a beautiful time of reflection and renewal as we make ourselves available to the Lord. It is a time where we slow down and examine our relationship with Him and those around us. We are called to deepen these relationships through the three pillars of Lent: prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Let us ask God for the grace to be faithful to the Lent programme the Lor

What Makes a True Friend - Homily 28th Feb 2025

Feb 28 2025 13 mins  
We were never meant to walk through life alone — God created us for relationships. Friendships are, therefore, important to have, but true, holy friendships are hard to find and don’t happen overnight; they take time and trust to grow.Scripture reminds us that faithful friends are a gift, walking with us in joy and carrying us through life’s struggles. To sustain them, friend

Four Reasons We Delay Repentance - Homily 27th Feb 2025

Feb 27 2025 10 mins  
Today, we are reminded of the urgency of repentance. The enemy tempts us to delay — whispering that there’s no rush, that God will always forgive, or that we can rely on our own strength and do not need God. We may also not understand the reality and importance of the life after death, causing us to only focus on enjoying the pleasure of our life on Earth. We do not know when t

Authentic leadership is not about personal glory or self-interest but about serving others with humility, promoting unity in diversity, and leading by example.Jesus, our true leader, calls us to self-denial, service, and faithfulness in following Him. As we lead in our families, workplaces, and communities, we are invited to put Christ at the centre, trusting that true fulfilment c

Seizing Life’s Turning Points - Homily 20th Feb 2025

Feb 20 2025 17 mins  
A turning point is a moment in life that profoundly shifts our perspective, challenging us to see things anew and embrace transformation.In today’s Gospel, Jesus reaches a critical moment in His ministry, revealing to His disciples the true nature of His mission. He reorients their expectations, moving them away from the common belief in a political or military Messiah to a deepe

Patience in Growing Our Faith - Homily 19th Feb 2025

Feb 19 2025 16 mins  
Patience is essential in our journey of faith. Spiritual growth does not happen overnight; it unfolds gradually through prayer, reflection, and trust in God's providence. In times of uncertainty, patience helps us embrace the lessons God is teaching us at each stage of our journey, leading to a deeper and more resilient faith.Just as Noah waited for the waters to recede and Jes
