How often it is, that we fail to see the work of God in our lives, especially when we’re in the midst of suffering and turmoil.

Jesus: The Perfect Man and High Priest - Homily 23rd Jan 2025

Jan 23 2025 13 mins  
The role of a priest is to mediate the presence of God. This applies to both the ministerial and royal priesthood, to which we are all called through our baptism. We are called to share the presence of God through the way we live our lives. However, due to our human weaknesses, we often fall. But this does not mean that our weaknesses are to be despised. On the contrary, they can h

How to be a Peacemaker like Jesus - Homily 22 January 2025

Jan 22 2025 9 mins  
Jesus calls us to be peacemakers, bringing about reconciliation between people. However, to bring peace, we must first have peace in our hearts. We are called to cooperate with the grace of God, allowing Him to guide us through different situations in our lives and to understand the motives behind our actions. May we be motivated by love for God and others, rather than operating wi

Sin: Rebellion, Ingratitude & Lack of Trust in God - Homily 16th Jan 2025

Jan 16 2025 13 mins  
More than the breaking of the commandments, sin can be more accurately defined as an act of rebellion against God; a decision that is often fuelled by our pride, arrogance and desire for control. When we sin, we are in fact actively choosing to put God to the test and undermining His sovereignty. We fail to recall the good that He has done in our lives and the promises that He make

Embracing Our Humanity While Ministering to Others - Homily 15th Jan 2025

Jan 15 2025 13 mins  
By becoming Man, Christ invites us to embrace our own humanity and suffering, so that we can better empathise with those around us. He shows us how we should minister to others – by being keenly aware of the needs of those we serve, making time for them and being ever ready to leave our comfort zones in order to answer God’s call to serve somewhere else. Finally, we are remin

How to Live as God Intended - Homily 14th January 2025

Jan 14 2025 15 mins  
Man has been given a special dignity in all of God’s creation. We are called to be stewards of creation, to guide it towards its purpose and to use it for the common good. However, our sinful nature has led us to misuse this gift for selfish ends. Jesus came down as Man not only to bring salvation, but also to show us how we are meant to live as God intended. By conquering sin a

How to Love like God - Homily 9th Jan 2025

Jan 09 2025 10 mins  
As humans, our love is often imperfect and shaped by our wounds and insecurities. To meet our needs, we may impose our preferences on others and our love becomes controlling and possessive. God calls us to love as He does – a love that is free, unconditional and accepts others as they are. Only by encountering His healing and divine love can we love others in the same way. May

Jesus’ True Identity - Homily 6th Jan 2025

Jan 06 2025 13 mins  
In a world saturated with relativism and misinformation, St. John’s call to “test the spirits” is more relevant than ever. True doctrine is essential because what we believe shapes how we live. Reflecting on the profound identity of Jesus as both fully God and fully Man deepens our relationship with God and strengthens our resolve to stand firm in Truth. This understanding e

Living A Righteous Life - Homily 3rd Jan 2025

Jan 03 2025 12 mins  
St. John reminds us that living a righteous life means embracing our identity as children of God, created in His image and called to share in His love. Yet, in a world that often dismisses God, secularism leads to denial of our Creator, resulting in moral confusion and a loss of identity. Sin blinds us to our true nature, which is to love and live in communion with God. Striving f

Keeping Our Dreams Alive - Homily 2nd Jan 2025

Jan 02 2025 12 mins  
Can you remember the dreams that you once had before you entered your workplace or served in the ministry you’ve now been involved in for years? Our dreams can become buried over time – beneath our workloads, tiredness, and jadedness. However, we can draw inspiration from the life of St. John the Baptist, who was never carried away by fame, glory, or other distractions, but wa
