The Journey Podcast

Bishop Tony Percy says St Luke's address to "Theophilus" — meaning "lover of God," invites every believer to see themselves as personally called to love God deeply. Because Christ’s resurrection is now living within us, sorrow is transformed into joy, enabling us to respond to God and to one another with love as true “Theophilus.”

Mother Hilda says it doesn’t matter how we are treated, it’s what we do with and about it that really matters, how we respond with the love of Jesus.

On The Journey This Week: Fr John Corrigan says that although heaven is our true home, God still has a unique mission and purpose for each of us in this life.

Fr John Corrigan says that although heaven is our true home, God still has a unique mission and purpose for each of us in this life. He has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. Our task is to live faithfully and joyfully in the time God gives us, until God calls us home

Mother Hilda says maternal love parallels God’s love reminding us of his constant presence. Whenever we think of God, it is in fact God reaching out to remind us of His constant presence

Fr Josh Whitehead says faith deepens when we learn to recognise what God has done and is doing in our lives. Jesus promises that through the Holy Spirit, believers will come to know his presence within them — recognisable in specific moments or seasons of spiritual awakening

Fr Mike Delaney reflects on the joy a toddler's smile and high-fives brought to his parish as well as the complaints about elderly parishioners whispering loudly in the church

Bishop Tony Percy says now is the time to sow seeds of life, of truth, and hope – not death, deceit, and defamation: ‘Come Holy Spirit,’ we pray, ‘come, stay with us, reveal the Father and Son.’

Byron & Francine Pirola ask: Can faith alone sustain a marriage? It's a question that prompts a deeper reflection on the balance between faith and human effort

Fr James Arblaster says in the 2nd reading, St Peter calls for all baptised Christians to see themselves as ordained to the common or universal priesthood. Consequently, all believers are invited to see their daily lives—work, relationships, joys, and struggles—as offerings to God in a spirit of sacrifice

Bishop Tony Percy says today we encounter Jesus saying “I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life.” We can capture some of the richness that has been bequeathed to us through the structure of Creed, Code, Cult, Communion: Jesus is the Truth. We have a Creed (beliefs). Jesus is the Life. We have a Cult (sacraments). Jesus is the Way. We have a Code (morality). Jesus teaches us to pray (communion)

Trish McCarthy distinguishes between self-care, which can become self-centred, and caring for self, which is rooted in God’s compassion and guided by the Spirit. True care for self flows from theological principles like human dignity, Sabbath rest, and God’s mercy

Mother Hilda says God’s name is love and is expressed through qualities like mercy, kindness, patience, and forgiveness. God also has a name for each person — their own name — meaning every individual is, for God, a unique expression of love, and even our weaknesses are embraced within God’s love

Fr Dave Callaghan MGL says a street sign pointing home is not the home itself but the pointer for your destination. In the same way, the good things of the world are expressions of divine love, signs meant to lead us to God, not become ends in themselves

Peter Abela says pairing a new habit with an existing routine makes behaviour change easier. One practical application is combining Bible reading with breakfast. This "Bible for Breakfast" approach helps make daily scripture reading a consistent practice by anchoring it to an established routine.

Mother Hilda reflects on St John’s message that God is Love. For some it goes over their head, for others it’s so familiar that it has no impact, but we will always find it in our human experiences, God is love in our isolation, rejection, failures, our pain. God’s always there with His Love

Fr Mike Delaney says in uncertain times with competing voices, the Gospel calls us to recognise and follow the voice of Jesus, who leads his flock with care and calls each by name. With competing voices pulling us in different directions, our ability to respond depends on how well we know the shepherd's voice

Christy Honeysett invites us to intentionally let the power of the resurrection shape our daily lives, especially in how we bring peace, hope, and love into our families and relationships. Ultimately, we are encouraged to allow Jesus to loosen whatever "shroud" holds us back from fully living, so we can choose the freedom of love each day rather than retreating into comfort or fear

Bishop Tony Percy says John's Gospel deepens the metaphor of the "narrow gate" by identifying Christ himself as both the gate and the pasture. So, let's roll the dice, let's walk through the narrow gate, and that'll be Christ, into the pasture who is Christ, and Christ will be right there greeting us: I am the good shepherd

Mother Hilda says meditating carefully on small passages of Scripture can open profound personal meaning and reveal God’s presence. By lingering over God’s Word and letting it speak personally, we are drawn into a deeper relationship with Him and ultimately toward the beauty of heaven.

On The Journey This Week: Fr John Corrigan says the disciples on the road to Emmaus remind us that even when we distance ourselves or lose faith, Jesus continues to seek us out.
