Fr Mike Delaney reflects on how two books—*Dear Unity* (ed. Philip Ryall) and *Road to Renewal* (ed. Ron Huntley)—have inspired deeper thinking about Christian unity. Simple, prayerful awareness of one another across denominations is both a path toward genuine Christian unity and a catalyst for community renewal and strengthening the Body of Christ
Bishop Tony Percy says the central message from Matthew 9 — "the harvest is rich, but the labourers are few" — emphasizes that prayer, not strategic planning, is the true foundation of spiritual work. All baptized Christians—whether in families, workplaces, parishes, or communities—are called to be labourers in the harvest
Mother Hilda says a piece of work by a 12th Century monk, Gilbert of Hoyland, is so applicable to our 21st century circumstances. Gilbert's story is one of searching and finding, of us wandering like lost sheep while God is searching for us in his mercy, anticipating our despair, anticipating us that he might love us before we loved him
Byron & Francine Pirola ask: What if the habits modern culture dismisses as old-fashioned are the ones most likely to make your marriage last? Science is proving what faithful couples have long known: a marriage built on commitment and self-mastery doesn't just survive. It thrives
Fr Josh Whicker MGL says Jesus sends them out to continue his own mission of proclaiming the Kingdom, healing, and serving others. Just as he called those disciples by name, Jesus invites each of us to discover our unique role within his mission that brings life, purpose, and deeper relationship with him.
On The Journey This Week: Fr Josh Whicker MGL says Jesus invites each of us to discover our unique role within his mission.

Deacon Josh Clayton uses the everyday act of refuelling a car to reflect on what spiritually fuels us as disciples of Jesus Christ. He challenges us to consider what truly sustains our faith, encouraging practices such as prayer, reading Scripture, learning from holy lives, and worshipping with others so that our spiritual lives do not run dry.
Mother Hilda says that blame is a destructive cycle that rarely solves problems, whether in personal relationships, society, or history, where people often make scapegoats of others for their own difficulties. Jesus on the cross is the ultimate model for breaking free from this cycle — absorbing blame without becoming its victim, embodied in the words "They know not what they do."
Bishop Tony Percy draws on the teaching of Thomas Aquinas to highlight how faith and reason work together with Christ's sacrifice on the cross — his offering of himself to the Father in obedience, for our salvation. Notice the language employed: Jesus offered his body to God his Father. Jesus offered his body for our salvation. Lest we forget.
On The Journey This Week: Mons Graham Schmitzer says Jesus presents himself as the new Moses, establishing a new and eternal covenant sealed by his own blood on Calvary. Mother Hilda says that blame is a destructive cycle that rarely solves problems. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Trish McCarthy and Deacon Josh Clayton
Trish McCarthy uses the metaphor of a physical car toolkit to describe a rich spiritual toolkit that can be built up over a few years. It contains a wide range of resources gathered through experience, learning, prayer, relationships, and the sacraments to help navigate life's changing circumstances
Mons Graham Schmitzer says Jesus presents himself as the new Moses, establishing a new and eternal covenant sealed by his own blood on Calvary rather than by the blood of animals. Just as God sustained Israel with manna during the Exodus, Christ now gives himself as the true bread from heaven to nourish and strengthen his people on their journey toward eternal life
Byron & Francine Pirola say that relational poverty is as real as economic hardship, often hidden in plain sight among neighbours, families, and workplaces. Christians are called to practice generous hospitality by opening their hearts and homes, sharing not just money but genuine personal relationship.
Fr Dave Callaghan MGL says the resurrection isn't just a comfort for the dying — it's a transformative truth meant to reshape how the living see and spend their lives. At its core, it assures us that eternal life surpasses anything this world offers and so frees us from the deep human fear of missing out
On The Journey This Week: Fr Daniel McCaughan says the Trinity, is a mystery which God has progressively revealed through Scripture and salvation history. Mother Hilda says Henri Nouwen taught that brokenness is an unavoidable part of every human life. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Byron and Francine Pirola and Fr Dave Callaghan MGL
Bishop Tony Percy says through baptism, we are immersed into divine life, with the Greek root of "baptize" meaning to soak or immerse, reflecting both immersion in Christ's teaching and in water
Fr Daniel McCaughan says the Trinity, is a mystery which God has progressively revealed through Scripture and salvation history. The human family — husband, wife, and children bound together in life-giving love is an earthly reflection of this Trinitarian life
Mother Hilda says Henri Nouwen taught that brokenness is an unavoidable part of every human life, whether caused by our own actions or by suffering beyond our control, but that it does not have to lead to bitterness or despair
Peter Abela reflects on how knowing exam questions in advance would allow for focused preparation and says Jesus has already revealed the exam criteria in Matthew 25
Fr James Arblaster says God consistently chooses unlikely and flawed individuals for His purposes, then gives them the gifts and strength they need. Pentecost extends beyond the apostles to all believers, each given different gifts for the same shared mission, for the renewal and healing of the world
On The Journey This Week: Fr James Arblaster says God consistently chooses unlikely and flawed individuals for His purposes, then gives them the gifts and strength they need. Mother Hilda tells the story of a teacher who asked her students to complete the prompt "I wish my teacher knew…" Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Christy Honeysett and Peter Abela
Christy Honeysett says true prayer is an intimate encounter with God where we listen, respond, and experience being loved as we truly are. Slowing down in prayer means we can discover not only what God does, but who God is
Mother Hilda tells the story of a teacher who asked her students to complete the prompt "I wish my teacher knew…", receiving heartfelt responses about loneliness, fear, family hardship, and dreams. It's a great way to start a conversation with God. I wish God knew ...
Bishop Tony Percy says Pentecost is presented as the reversal of the Tower of Babel: the descent of the Holy Spirit as a divine reversal of humanity's pride and self-glorification. Ultimately, the Holy Spirit makes possible what is otherwise humanly impossible — a true unity among believers and a genuine love of God and neighbour
Mark Raue reflects on the attributes of humility. True humility is not weakness or low self-esteem, but a confident, others-centred disposition modelled most perfectly in the life of Jesus
Pete Gilmore says Jesus' command to “love your neighbour as yourself” goes beyond simply treating others the way we would like to be treated. We're challenged to love others not according to our own preferences, but as God lovingly and sacrificially loves us
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.
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 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
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
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.'
On The Journey This Week: Fr Josh Whitehead says faith deepens when we learn to recognise what God has done and is doing in our lives. Mother Hilda says maternal love parallels God's love reminding us of his constant presence. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Byron & Francine Pirola and Fr Mike Delaney
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
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
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
On The Journey This Week: Fr Mike Delaney says in uncertain times with competing voices, the Gospel calls us to recognise and follow the voice of Jesus. Mother Hilda says God's name is love and is expressed through qualities like mercy, kindness, patience, and forgiveness. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Trish McCarthy and Fr Dave Callaghan MGL.
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
On The Journey This Week: Fr Mike Delaney says in uncertain times with competing voices, the Gospel calls us to recognise and follow the voice of Jesus. Mother Hilda reflects on St John's message that God is Love. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Christy Honeysett and Peter Abela
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. Mother Hilda says meditating carefully on small passages of Scripture can open profound personal meaning and reveal God's presence. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Pete Gilmore and Mark Raue
