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.
This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.
It is so important for us if we are really to live happily as Christians that we try into listening to Jesus. He is the Son of God – listen to him!
Let God into your life, hear his heavenly message
All three of our readings today demonstrate how experiencing the Divine enables us, transforms us, gives us that strength, that power, to live fully alive and be what God has planned for us all along
