15th Sunday in O T
Sunday 12th July

Today, Jesus invites us to, “Imagine a sower going out to sow.” In telling the parable of the sower, he is, in fact, reflecting on his mission, and is sharing with us his personal experience. We know that Jesus’ preaching met with different responses, indeed, it had a very mixed reception - most ignored it; some rejected it; others were openly hostile to it; but those he called “friends”, accepted it and lived by it. Although there are four responses to Jesus’ word, three spell failure; nevertheless, Jesus was not deterred.

13th Sunday in O T
Sunday 28th June

"...Taking up the cross is living with that gentle but persistent question of Jesus, “Do you love me?”; it is our constant striving to respond, Yes, Lord, you know I love you”. It is this that will influence all other decisions we make in life..."

12th Sunday in O T
Sunday 21st June

Today’s Gospel passage is taken from St Matthew’s Gospel. It records that Jesus warned his disciples that they too would face opposition, and even persecution, but, like Jeremiah, they were not to grow discouraged. Jesus stated starkly that they would, “be dragged before governors and kings…betrayed.....hated …..persecuted” (cf Mt.10:17-25).

11th Sunday in O T
Sunday 14th June

We are confident that the Lord always hears our prayers, but often he answers them in ways that are unexpected. Should we take Jesus at his word, and pray for labourers to be sent, what result might we expect? Some would suggest “send us more priests”, but actually, this was not what Jesus was thinking about when he spoke those words. He addressed his words to the disciples, who were not priests, but were those whom we would describe as laypeople! When we pray for more labourers to be sent to the harvest, the Lord does indeed answer, and answers promptly – his answer is, “I have chosen you! You go!”

The Feast of Corpus Christi

Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ. In the Gospel passage, Jesus tells us that, if we are to have life, we must eat his flesh and drink his blood. In that way we can live in him and he in us. But why do we believe this to be true? Because Jesus said so! If Jesus Christ is Lord and God, then what he says is true.

The Feast of the Most Holy Trinity
Sunday 31st May

In today’s Gospel passage, Jesus answers the question, “What is the extent of God’s love?”. He says, “God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost but may have eternal life.” The utter self-giving of God’s love is summed up in those few words.

Pentecost Sunday
Sunday 24th May 2026

Today, Pentecost Sunday, is also a great birthday occasion on which we celebrate that day when the Apostles finally caught the fire of love; the fire of enthusiasm and zeal; the fire of conviction! The Holy Spirit filled them with courage, enabling them to meet opposition, and to proclaim the Gospel, not only with words, but above all by lives transfigured by conviction (cf EG 259).

The Ascension of the Lord
Sunday 17th May

The Feast of the Ascension helps us to understand this extraordinary interlocking relationship between heaven and earth. The Scripture tells us that, “(Jesus) was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.” But we must interpret these words with the mind of the evangelist. “Lifted up” doesn't mean that Jesus ascended to somewhere “up there beyond the clouds”; rather, he entered into another dimension, into God's dimension, that which we call heaven.
