St Lukes Podcast

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Cross. The Cross is a symbol not of weakness but of power for us. It is a reminder also for us to take up our own crosses that the Lord bestows upon us, so that we may share in His sufferings as well as His glory. Christ never promises to us that the Christian life is easy, rather He says to us that it is filled with tribulation, but to take heart for He has ove...

God created us to be in union with Him. Yet we reject Him daily, so how can we turn to Him and love Him with all our heart? Michael helps us to understand the consequences of sin and how out of God's love for us He reconciles us to Him.

Know yourself. St John the Baptist was the greatest born of women and yet for us if we hold fast to Christ we are greater than he. It is enough then to know yourself as St John did by saying that he must decrease and Christ must increase. This is a model and example for all of us to know ourselves so that we may realise that without God we are nothing. In turn this leads us to cry out to him with...

The hearts of many will grow cold. Our Lord teaches us that in the last days many hearts will grow cold from within the faithful. Yet he who watches to the end will be saved and will inherit the crown of life. Let us all press on to take hold of the prize set before us and that we may remain faithful, our hearts warm and aflame with the love of God.

The dichotomy of our flesh vs the spirit is one that we engage with everyday and will engage with for our whole lives. Sam Hermena helps us to learn more about this daily struggle and how to combat it.

Christ has come and bound Satan, releasing us who were formerly the devil's possessions. We who now have liberty and freedom are called to seek our Saviour and Redeemer. For we cannot turn back now unto Egypt, that is the devil, yet many of us also forsake our Saviour even though He was incarnated and came to save us. Let us examine our hearts are turn back to Him each and every moment, looking un...

Why am at Church? Why do I fast? Why am I alive? What is the meaning of life? All of us should ask ourselves these questions, some of us are forced to ask ourselves sooner rather than later. These questions form the foundation for our beliefs and what governs our whole life. Without asking ourselves these questions we risk living our whole lives in utter meaninglessness. May God help us to seek th...

We have to remember that everything that we have is the Lord's. We are but stewards and called to be faithful stewards. Yet many times we mistake what we have to be ours. We become proud and conceited, abusing what has never truly been ours. May the Lord have mercy on us and help us be attentive so that at that last Day we may be found worthy to enter into the feast and be called a faithful stewar...

God is a God of hope. Though things may seem out of control and in our lives may be un utter chaos, its important to remember that everything is held within our Lord's hands. He is not unaware of what takes place, therefore let us take comfort in Him and run to Him whenever we are in distress.

God wants our hearts. He desires us and desires to be with us. It's up to us then whether we turn to Him or not.

What does Christ mean when He tells His disciples to become like little children? Fr Sam helps enlighten us with this passage of the Gospel, teaching us the meaning of Christs timeless words.

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Apostles. May their blessings always be with us, Amen!

Love thy enemies. This command from Christ to us seems radical, however it is only one among a plethora of other commandments our Lord gives to us to ultimately become like Him. This isn't radical Christianity, it's purely what's necessary for every single one of us to become true Christians.

When we preach the Gospel we have to ensure that we are always putting the needs of others before ours. In doing this we will be not only fulfilled, but will have truly lived the Christian message.
