Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time29 August 2021What’s on the inside‘It’s what’s on the inside that counts.’ How often do we hear this? Yet we get contradictory messages and we are also bombarded with messages about how we should dress or act, or what is appropriate behaviour. Rules about outward behaviour govern many aspects of life, […]

Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time22 August 2021Leap of faithChildren are often adept at looking beyond the practicalities and seeing the possibilities. Where a parent or guardian might only see a messy room in need of tidying, a child sees an obstacle course, a castle, a jungle, a magical fairy forest. It can be refreshing to […]

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time 25 July 2021 Grandparent’s Day Gift of loveWe meet Jesus today in a situation of need. The crowds have followed him and they are hungry.

Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time11 July 2021The first missionTwo phrases come to mind as I read about the disciples heading off on their first mission: ‘baptism of fire’ and ‘to be thrown in at the deep end’. We use these expressions to describe a difficult introduction to a new job or activity, when we are […]

Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time4 July 2021This is the carpenter, surely?‘A prophet is only despised in his own country among his own relations and in his own house.’ We might find ourselves sympathising with Jesus in today’s Gospel: no matter what a person achieves in life, in their home place they will always be identified […]

Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time 20 June 2021 ‘Let us go across to the other side’ ‘Let us go across to the other side’ is an important phrase in Mark’s Gospel which occurs many times. Jesus and the disciples are crossing the Sea of Galilee from what is a predominantly Jewish area to a more […]

Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time 13 June 2021 ‘It is like a mustard seed’ Something we may not often think about is Jesus’ earthly relationship with creation. Jesus walked everywhere, went to quiet places to pray, preached from mountains, from boats on the water; his followers included fishermen in tune with the rhythm of […]
