The Journey Podcast

Bishop Tony Percy says being grateful for literally everything in life is a recipe for greatness – spiritual magnanimity. Jesus is the epitome of gratitude

Christy Honeysett emphasizes that God provides for our needs in the present moment rather than stockpiling provisions for the future. We’re invited to notice how God is giving now—signs of hope, gratitude, and inner gifts—while honestly expressing our desires for the future

Peter Abela says perseverance is essential for remaining faithful to God amid the challenges and distractions of life. Perseverance helps the believer continue forward. God’s revelation in Scripture, the support of fellow believers, and the nourishment of the Eucharist provide the strength and hope needed to stay on the path toward union with God

Bishop Tony Percy says we are to live a life of prayer and work – Ora et Labora. Notice what is going on here: Work of the heart, work of the hands. We worship God during times of personal and communal prayer. We worship God during times of manual and intellectual work

Mark Raue reflects on his time leading a Catholic organisation serving children and young adults with intellectual disabilities. Mark says he witnessed a profound sense of sacredness and faith among the community that deeply moved and transformed him

On The Journey This Week: Fr Rob Galea says he feels emotional excitement rather than fear about living in challenging times. Mother Hilda says St Paul’s words in Romans 8 express a profound truth — For I am certain of this. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Pete Gilmore, and Mark Raue

Fr Rob Galea says he feels emotional excitement rather than fear about living in challenging times marked by wars, persecution, and widespread opposition to Christianity. Stay strong, trust in Christ, and remain faithful even when the world seems to be collapsing

Mother Hilda says St Paul’s words in Romans 8 express a profound truth — that nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. We’re invited to embrace Paul’s certainty by prayerfully naming the things we too are sure of in our relationship with God — His love, presence, and faithfulness

Pete Gilmore says life brings both minor frustrations and major tragedies that can leave us wounded and questioning God's plan, asking "why me?" When we stay rooted in Christ and steep ourselves in His Word, we begin to see that even in suffering, God’s love is constant, and the cross is His enduring answer to our deepest “why.”

Mother Hilda says we are the Father’s house, and God’s zeal is for our welfare and ultimate happiness. We are called to share in that same divine zeal—responding with compassion, prayer, and mercy toward others in their poverty, allowing God to act through us

Fr Joshua Whitehead says today’s feast reminds us of our unity with the universal Church and with Christ our Saviour. It points to an even greater mystery — that each of us is God’s dwelling place, a living temple built on the foundation of Christ

On The Journey This Week: Fr Joshua Whitehead says today’s feast reminds us of our unity with the universal Church and with Christ our Saviour. Mother Hilda wonders what presence we will leave behind in the places we have lived. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Byron & Francine Pirola, and Fr Mike Delaney

Bishop Tony Percy says that St Paul reminds us that we are God’s temple and that His Spirit lives within us. St Carlo Acutis echoes this truth, saying we are all “born originals but die as photocopies,” calling us, like the saints, to embrace our God-given uniqueness and live as true temples of the Holy Spirit

Byron & Francine Pirola explore how couples can strengthen their relationship by capitalising — that is, amplifying and sharing the joy of positive experiences together

Fr Mike Delaney reflects on how our lives often intertwine with others in ways that shape and teach us, if only we take the time to notice God’s presence in those shared moments

Bishop Tony Percy says the reason people don’t become saints is because they refuse to be themselves. But how? Think of the love that the Father has lavished on us, by letting us be called God’s children, and that is what we are. Be Christ. Be ourselves

Trish McCarthy asks are you ageing well? As we grow towards wholeness as we age in mind, body, heart, and soul. As you progress through the years, take a walk with Jesus each day and tell him how you’re maturing as you ask for his blessing and wisdom

Mother Hilda wonders what presence we will leave behind in the places we have lived. Will they also give people in the future a feeling of the presence of peace or discord?

Deacon Josh Clayton says intentional structure and routine can deepen our relationship with God. Find practical, consistent ways to “get on a streak” in our prayer life, strengthening our connection with Christ through intentional daily commitment

On The Journey This Week: Fr Mike Delaney says Jesus’ encounter with the widow of Nain reveals his mission to bring hope and new life to the poor, marginalised, and broken-hearted. Mother Hilda wonders what presence we will leave behind in the places we have lived. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Trish McCarthy, and Deacon Josh Clayton

Fr Mike Delaney says the key challenge posed in this Gospel is whether we recognize Jesus in everyday moments, allowing our experience of Him to genuinely change our lives and inspire us to share the Good News as active disciples, rather than passive observers

On The Journey This Week: Fr Richard Healey says the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector should be understood as a lawsuit where God is the judge who vindicates the humble over the self-righteous. Mother Hilda tells her own parable of how we react to God. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Christy Honeysett, and Peter Abela

Fr Richard Healey says the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18 should be understood as a lawsuit where God is the judge who vindicates the humble over the self-righteous

Mother Hilda says the story of 5 blind men discussing an elephant reminds her of how we react to God. Each reacts differently and forms a narrow opinion of who God might be

Bishop Tony Percy says this week’s Gospel begs two questions: am I humble and what is humility? The pharisee deceives himself, being self-enclosed, living in his own echo chamber. While the tax-collector knows his limits: God, be merciful to me, a sinner
