Fr John Corrigan says God works through imperfect people. This feast contrasts Saints Peter and Paul; Their lives remind us to find hope in our own imperfections and not to be discouraged by our own or others’ shortcomings, but to trust that Jesus chooses and appoints us all to bear lasting fruit

Bishop Tony Percy reflects on being in the Papal Chapel in 1992 and viewing the two beautiful mosaics, one of St. Peter, the other of St. Paul.

On The Journey This Week: Fr John Corrigan says God works through imperfect people. Mother Hilda reflects on the importance of facing and handing over that pain to God for healing and transformation. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Byron & Francine Pirola, and Fr Mike Delaney

Fr Mike Delaney humorously reflects on how he often fails to see things that are right in front of him. This experience prompts a deeper reflection on how easily he overlooks spiritual insights or everyday moments where God is present, even in familiar places

Mark Raue says Pope Leo XIV is gaining global attention for his bold advocacy on behalf of the poor and marginalized, and for his critiques of nationalism and exclusionary politics that foster division and prejudice.

Bishop Tony Percy says the world is passing through a time of intense spiritual crisis, that is, a crisis of truth and a crisis of love, and we might add as well, a crisis of hope.

Fr Mark De Battista says that inside all of us is a deep hunger wanting to be satisfied and this gospel opens us to the power of God, that through Jesus, a great abundance for all can be achieved with the little that each of us has to offer

Mother Hilda’s reflection on how difficult it can be to say sorry, yet how powerful and healing it is to acknowledge our faults, with others and within ourselves. She ultimately points to the value of daily self-examination to cultivate a contrite heart, making personal change possible and, in time, even global peace

Peter Abela emphasizes the transformative power of daily silence, He suggests starting with 5 minutes and gradually increasing, a time for prayer, meditation, or simple repetition, as a consistent practice to lead to greater contentment and spiritual growth quiet time to disconnect from worldly noise and deepen one’s relationship with God

On The Journey This Week: Fr Mark De Battista says Jesus challenges our faith in him to use our small resource for the many. Mother Hilda on saying sorry and being powerfully healed. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Mark Raue, and Peter Abela

On The Journey This Week: Fr Mark De Battista says we’re invited to enter the family of the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Spirit. Mother Hilda recounts a powerful moment from the movie “A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood.” Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Christy Honeysett, and Fr Dave Callaghan MGL

Fr Dave Callaghan says Culture is the most powerful influence in our lives, often overriding what we intellectually know to be right or wrong. Christian Culture redefines what it means to be truly human through love and service rather than accumulation and status

Fr Mark De Battista says today is a family celebration where we’re invited to enter the family of the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Spirit. The mystery of the Trinity informs us and helps us live out our life of faith when we enter into an individual relationship with each of these 3 divine persons

Mother Hilda says we all have daily opportunities to connect authentically with others—and with God. She recounts a powerful moment from the movie “A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood,” to show that rather than analysing or giving advice, we should simply listen with gratitude, creating a moment of shared humanity and respect

Bishop Tony Percy says the Trinity celebrates the central Christian doctrine that God exists as three distinct persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - united in perfect communion while maintaining their individual identities. The Trinity demonstrates that perfect unity and distinct personhood can coexist and so too are we called to live in loving unity while honouring individual uniqueness

Christy Honeysett reflects on the enduring hope that comes from God’s love being poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that never disappoints. We often miss God's intended gifts in our haste, so we need to slow down, create time and space to truly savour and appreciate the gifts of hope and love that God has ready for us each day

Fr Mike Delaney had a rich and thought-provoking conversation with a winemaker deeply committed to excellence, and wonders about our own approach to personal growth, questioning whether we strive for real improvement or simply maintain familiar routines

Francine Pirola says insufficient time together is a major cause of relationship breakdown, as regular shared moments help heal emotional wounds and deepen affection. Quality time requires a foundation of quantity time - regular, low-intensity companionship that builds trust

Fr Mark De Battista traces through St John’s gospel to bring together St John’s full understanding of the power of Pentecost with Pentecost liturgically representing “super abundant perfection being poured out”.

Mother Hilda, watching the powerful, crashing waves of the ocean, as a metaphor for life: rather than hardening ourselves against its hardships, we are called to remain flexible and open, allowing love—especially God's love—to carry us through the rough waves of life

On The Journey This Week: Fr Rob Galea says with the Ascension of Jesus, the apostles must now rely on faith and the unseen presence of the Holy Spirit. Mother Hilda shares a story from the First Nations people highlighting their deep connection with nature. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Trish McCarthy, Deacon Josh Clayton

Bishop Tony Percy says before ascending, Jesus entrusts a most important mission to us: to be witnesses to the forgiveness of sins. We do this in three ways: first, by personally experiencing God's forgiveness as one cannot speak about forgiveness without having received it themselves; second, by gently announcing this forgiveness to others in everyday encounters; and third, by helping others rece...

Trish McCarthy explores how the three archangels - Michael (God's courageous defence), Gabriel (God's strength), and Raphael (God's healing) - serve as spiritual archetypes that reflect different aspects of God's nature needed for our faith journey. We are encouraged to reflect on which of these divine expressions we most need and remain open to encountering God through daily experiences and relat...
