Barnabus – Son of encouragement
And it was in Antioch that the followers of Christ were first known as Christians. Clearly Barnabas and Paul fulfilled the command of Jesus: “By this love you have for one another, everyone will know that you are my disciples.”
Good Shepherd Sunday
Today, we can pray for each other that we may hear and follow Jesus’ voice as he leads us through the coming week – probably a quiet voice, not a commanding voice, that keeps us aware of others who are also ‘the flock’.
Charcoal for the fire
A despondent Peter spent the night looking for fish, but what he found at dawn was self-knowledge and Christ-knowledge and became the very first Bishop of Rome as a result.
The Passion of Jesus – from joy to suffering
The Passion we hear today and listen to again in the coming days speaks to every human heart. It is a story of pain and betrayal, of fear and silence, of courage, love, and obedience. Jesus shares fully in our human experience. He knows what it is to suffer. He shows us what it means to trust God even when the path ahead is dark and difficult.
The Mercy and Justice of God
The challenge for us is whether we can see ourselves not as the woman caught in adultery but as the person who is caught up in forgiveness.
New Life in Christ
Today we are all called to REJOICE as all together we celebrate NEW LIFE in CHRIST! In Him we are reconciled with the Father and with one another!
