Community in Faith
The Gospel this week reminds us that faith is not lived in isolation. We cannot separate love of God from love of neighbour
Triumph of the Cross
Today we celebrate, we stand in awe and continue to contemplate this incredible mystery, when the Saviour of the World, the Son of God, Christ Jesus took all our sins on his shoulders and carried them, carried us.
Mission, joy and peace
It’s a great reminder that success in spreading the good news isn’t measured by results or recognition, but by faithfulness. Being known and loved by God is our deepest joy. Sometimes we need reminding that we don’t have to earn God’s approval, his love is already given.
Come to the Lord, Come to the Spirit
And the reading from Revelation gives the final, hopeful word. It is Christ’s own voice saying: “I am coming soon… Let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.”
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’.
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.
