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

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

Christy Honeysett says our hope is awakened through our relationship and union with Jesus, who helps us face the burdens and fatigue of life with courage and trust
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
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
Peter Abela says Christian hope is more than a wish—it is a confident expectation rooted in the promise of Christ and directed toward the Kingdom of Heaven
Mark Raue says this year's World Mission theme “Missionaries of Hope Among all Peoples,” reminds Christians of their call to bring Christ's hope to the world. Catholic Mission in Australia is focusing on Zambia's rural Mpika Diocese
Mother Hilda reminds us that when we spend time with God and reflect His mercy, kindness, and wisdom in our lives, we too become like Him and thus becoming His presence in the world—bringing the miracle of God to others

Mother Hilda shares the story of a grieving mother who had lost her two-year-old son and felt abandoned by God. The passage, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” was a message she realized God was acknowledging her pain and telling her that He had been present through her suffering
Fr Mike Delaney tells the story of a preacher who, after repeatedly praying for a woman to be freed from her sins over three nights, finally told her he wouldn't pray to remove the "cobwebs" but to "kill the spider" - addressing the root cause rather than just the symptoms of her spiritual struggles
Bishop Tony Percy reflects on early Christian history when Christians were wrongly seen as usurpers and insurrectionists. The earliest external evidence we have of Christian practice comes from a letter from Pliny, a governor in what is now modern-day Turkey, to the Emperor Trajan (AD 110) which tells us about ourselves
Fr Mark De Battista says this Gospel emphasizes that Jesus welcomes all people who come to Him in faith, regardless of background or belief. God's power is not limited by nationality, background, or status

Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Trish McCarthy and Deacon Josh Clayton
Deacon Josh Clayton says the lectionary is an ecumenical resource used by many churches that provides a three-year cycle for reading the Bible ensuring congregations encounter the full scope of Scripture in a systematic and comprehensive way
Fr Rob Galea says that God only asks for a small "mustard seed" of faith—a willingness to trust Him even without full understanding. In surrendering our little faith, God can transform it into something beautiful, so believers are encouraged not to despair but to bring their doubts honestly to Jesus
Trish McCarthy shares a philosophy centred on simplicity and creating flow through intentional letting go - whether it's replacing physical possessions or releasing emotional burdens like resentment or guilt
Mother Hilda says we too easily divide the world into "goodies and baddies," while God has the capacity to love and grieve for all people, including those who cause us harm.
Bishop Tony Percy says both the 1st Reading from the Prophet Amos and the Gospel of Luke challenge the comfort-zone around wealth creation and just distribution. How far can Jesus push me? One thing is sure; it is always one step further than my comfort-zone. Just one step further

This challenge reshaped their family life into one more centred on intentional living, making deliberate choices with their time, investing it in God, family, and service, rather than letting it be passively consumed
Fr Joshua Whicker MGL says that we often cling to good things out of fear of missing out, without caring if others go without. In life, this same fear can drive us to cling to material possessions, leaving little room for Jesus or for others in need
Trish McCarthy says each of us is created in the image of God, carrying both masculine and feminine energy, and living authentically means honouring and balancing both.
On The Journey This Week: Fr Joshua Whicker MGL says that we often cling to good things out of fear of missing out, without caring if others go without.

Mother Hilda says William Arthur Dunkerley's quote that “Love ever lives, and while it lives, it gives, for that's love's prerogative, to give and give and give” is something that we have all witnessed.
Mark Raue says humour is a natural and essential part of human life, helping us find light even in difficult moments and fostering connection through shared laughter. The wisdom of Ecclesiastes and the fullness of human experience suggest that laughter, alongside sorrow, is a gift from God that enriches life and heals the soul
Pete Gilmore says that in Luke's Gospel, Jesus' parables, especially the lost sheep, show how deeply God values each person and how far He will go to seek the lost. Like the parable of the talents, now is not the time to bury what we've been given in fear, but to risk sharing the good news that can bring light to the many who are lost
Fr James McCarthy says in the 2nd reading, St Paul urges Christians to pray for everyone, especially those in authority, so that we may live reverent and peaceful lives, even when leaders are unjust or hostile.
