Trish McCarthy says using and being creative with modelling clay is a metaphor for God in our life and how he uses our senses, imagination, creativity, and even our mistakes as adjustments to mould and sculpt us into a unique person, marked with the fingerprints of God
Bishop Tony Percy says no one likes a ‘one tone' life, but at times our experience is exactly this: we feel disillusioned from time to time. In 1981 Pope St. John Paul II decided to teach us about the meaning and value of human work and see the spiritual rhythm of it. Work is a participation in God's creative work. Work is worship
Mother Hilda urges us to recognize and respond to the suffering of children in conflict zones, in poverty, and in our own neighbourhoods with compassion and responsibility. She says we are invited to share in God's parenthood by seeing every young person with love and tenderness, and by praying and acting for their healing and hope
Fr James McCarthy says Jesus challenges in today's Gospel by asking, “And this hoard of yours—whose will it be then?” Hoarding isn't just about accumulating possessions, but about an inward focus that resists generosity and clings to control.

Fr Rob Galea says persistent prayer doesn't change God; it changes us — it forms our hearts, deepens our trust, and shapes our holiness. True holiness is often born not from receiving what we ask for, but from trusting God in the silence and continuing in faithful prayer despite the lack of visible results
On The Journey This Week: Fr Rob Galea says persistent prayer doesn't change God; it changes us. Mother Hilda is thankful that God's memory is not like ours. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Christy Honeysett, and Peter Abela
Christy Honeysett explores hope as both eternal union with God and God's present companionship in daily life encouraging us to live with anticipation and trust in God's care. As we lean into God and recognize divine goodness in each moment, we naturally bear fruit and help bring about God's kingdom through hope and love.
Bishop Tony Percy says it was Jesus' personal, not physical, posture that aroused within the disciple a desire to pray: Consistent with the whole of his life, Jesus' prayer was not self-centred but focused on Someone other than himself. The one who seeks, finds. The one who knocks always has the door opened to him. But there's more, for those that ask will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit
Mother Hilda is thankful that God's memory is not like ours. He remembers our goodness while we tend to focus on our failures. God's memory of the pain we put ourselves through is looking for us while we were lost and rescuing us with his grace

At the end of our days, none of us will regret the decision to pray each day

The invitation is to endure life's hardships deliberately by surrendering to God, expressing our struggles honestly, and trusting in God that something beautiful is being prepared even when we can't see it
Fr Chris del Rosario says this Gospel is often misunderstood, it's not pitting the two sisters against each other, instead it's highlighting how both represent essential aspects of discipleship: contemplation and action
Mark Raue says that while charity and generous giving to those in need is important and necessary, the deeper challenge is addressing the structural causes of poverty rather than just treating its symptoms. Ultimately, the aim is to break the cycle of poverty and enable self-determination, aligning with the deeper Christian call to justice over charity
On The Journey This Week: Fr Chris del Rosario says this Gospel highlights both contemplation and action. Mother Hilda says we must learn to live with unresolved questions, grief, and uncertainty. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, a menALIVE testimony from Mike Conroy, and Mark Raue

Fr Mark De Battista says that the greatest commandment to love God is not for God's benefit, as He doesn't need our praise to be complete or glorious, but for ours. Placing God first rightly orders all other relationships in our lives
On The Journey This Week: Fr Mark De Battista says that the greatest commandment to love God is not for God's benefit, but for ours. Mother Hilda says we can find all the characters in the Good Samaritan story in ourselves. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Byron & Francine Pirola, and Fr Mike Delaney
Bishop Tony Percy says the reading from Deuteronomy emphasizes God's Word, not distant but "in our heart and on our lips," highlighting a deep, mutual relationship of love between God and humanity, echoed by St. Cyril of Jerusalem in his catechetical lectures and now emerging in Australia as many young people are actively searching for meaning and turning to the Church, affirming that the Holy Spirit is at work in people's hearts awakening a desire for truth and goodness
Mother Hilda says we can find all the characters in the Good Samaritan story in ourselves. The man beaten, the brigand causing the hurt, the Levite ignoring the plight of those around us, the good Samaritan responding to our neighbour and the innkeeper taking care of with a healing smile or word, and some patience
On The Journey This Week: Bishop Brian Mascord says today we honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday by reflecting on Indigenous spirituality. Mother Hilda highlights how healing can come through rest, not just for the land but for people too. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Trish McCarthy, and Deacon Josh Clayton
Trish McCarthy draws a parallel between the daily beach grooming that removes debris and exposes hidden objects, and God's daily offer of grace and mercy to cleanse our hearts of what harms or spoils us spiritually
Mother Hilda draws a parallel between the agricultural approach of giving land time and space to heal, and the spiritual practice of spending quiet time with God for personal renewal and restoration. We are invited to take small moments of stillness each day, simply to be with God, trusting that He brings the healing and renewal to our hurting, worn-out world

Mother Hilda reflects on her enjoyment of murder mysteries. These stories highlight how much pain lies beneath the surface, and the importance of facing and handing over that pain to God for healing and transformation. Mother Hilda poses a powerful question: do you believe that Almighty God can make all things new in your life too?
Byron & Francine Pirola say that the shared enjoyment of couple time often gets lost in the busyness of life. Couple projects offer a solution by providing dedicated time together. These shared ventures not only protect the marriage by redirecting affection inward but also build lasting bonds and a shared legacy.
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.

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
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
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
Mother Hilda says we all have daily opportunities to connect authentically with others—and with God.
