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

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. Mother Hilda says it doesn't matter how we are treated, it's what we do with and about it that really matters. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Pete Gilmore and Mark Raue
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
Mark Raue says 2026 has been marked by widespread conflict, most notably the controversial war on Iran, which has drawn strong condemnation including from Pope Leo XIV. Mark explains the Church's doctrine of just war and the tension between Jesus' call to peace and the responsibility to defend the vulnerable
Pete Gilmore says friendship is never based on exaggeration, lies to impress, or false claims, but rather on the authentic self. Lies trap us, creating isolation and forcing us to maintain a false reality. However, Jesus' teaching is that truth sets us free, allowing us to grow into who we are meant to be
Bishop Tony Percy reflects on Luke 24 and the Emmaus story, emphasizing their beautiful prayer “Stay with us, Lord” as a call to recognise Christ walking alongside us throughout life. It underscores that we are never abandoned by Him, even when hope seems lost and the importance of companionship in faith, showing that spiritual growth and mission are meant to be lived together, not alone
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 and walk with us. Jesus models true apostolate — genuinely seeing and hearing others, speaking from the heart rather than preaching, with prayer and sacrifice coming before words
On The Journey This Week: Fr Josh Whitehead says Easter joy continues today through Jesus' presence in our lives in the supernatural gifts He bestows. Mother Hilda says whenever we cling to anger, refuse compassion, or choose negativity in daily life, we too become prisoners of those attitudes. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Trish McCarthy and Fr Mike Delaney.
Fr Mike Delaney tells the story of a family who relocated from Sydney to Hobart's Eastern Shore. Their experience highlights how small encounters with creation can awaken gratitude and wonder if we take the time to notice them
Trish McCarthy reflects on the profound joy and wonder of experiencing something new for the first time, connecting this to the etymology of "ecstatic" — being called out of the static — as a metaphor for spiritual life. We are invited to seek this “ecstatic” life by embracing new experiences and becoming more attentive to God's presence in everyday moments
Bishop Tony Percy says Divine Mercy Sunday draws on Acts 2 to describe the four pillars of early Christian community life: faithful teaching, fellowship, Eucharist, and prayer. It traces the Church's social teaching from Leo XIII's *Rerum Novarum* (1891) through John Paul II's *Centesimus Annus* (1991)
Mother Hilda says whenever we cling to anger, refuse compassion, or choose negativity in daily life, we too become prisoners of those attitudes. True freedom comes from letting go, embracing the grace offered through Jesus Christ, and choosing love
Revealed Fr Josh Whitehead says the effects of encountering the risen Jesus —overwhelming, indescribable joy, love, and peace — offer the clearest glimpse of who He is. This Easter joy continues today through His presence in our lives in the supernatural gifts He bestows, inviting us to notice and embrace His living presence within us
celebration across eight days — the Octave of Easter. Mother Hilda says Easter Sunday speaks to the human experience of deep loss and the feeling that we may never recover or rise again after suffering. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Byron & Francine Pirola and Deacon Josh Clayton
Deacon Josh Clayton says Easter invites reflection on Mary Magdalene's encounter at the tomb which shows a faithful love that seeks without certainty and recognises Jesus when he calls her by name. Jesus calls each of us by name, inviting us to follow him through both trial and hope
Byron & Francine Pirola say Easter is not just about one death and one resurrection, it's a powerful model for healing broken relationships, especially in marriage. Choosing forgiveness—honestly naming wounds and letting go of resentment—can reopen the possibility of reconciliation and resurrected renewed love
Bishop Tony Percy says that in the ancient world, it was the custom for thieves to raid tombs, take the expensive cloths, and sell them on the black market. Not so the tomb of Jesus. Peter walks right into the tomb, sees the linen cloths, but not the body of Jesus. It is a counter-cultural event par excellence. In we go, after Peter and John, and we let this prodigious, dramatic and splendid counter-cultural event penetrate us
Mother Hilda says Easter Sunday speaks to the human experience of deep loss and the feeling that we may never recover or rise again after suffering. Today's invitation is to claim this resurrection life, embrace this hope, trust in God, and claim the new life offered through the risen Christ.
Fr Bernard Gordon says Easter's joy is so profound that the Church extends its celebration across eight days — the Octave of Easter. This extended celebration reflects the profound joy that Jesus has conquered sin and death, offering new and eternal life through His resurrection.
On The Journey This Week: Fr Josh Whitehead says Palm Sunday holds a paradox at its heart: revealing the inner tension of the human heart, wavering between faith and fear, love and self-interest. Sr Therese Mills MGL says Holy Week calls us to journey with Jesus in his suffering and to carry our crosses with compassion for other. Plus, Bishop Tony Percy, Fr Sean Cullen and Bishop Brian Mascord
Bishop Brian Mascord says Holy Saturday represents the sacred stillness between the grief of the Cross and the joy of the Resurrection. it teaches us that true compassion doesn't rush to fix or explain, but remains present in silence, mirroring how God stands in solidarity with us in our own moments of loss and unanswered prayer
Sr Therese Mills MGL says Holy Week calls us to journey with Jesus in his suffering and to carry our crosses with compassion for other
Bishop Tony Percy says the preamble to the passion narrative introduces the anointing at Bethany. The woman, unlike the complaining apostles, truly understood the infinite worth of Jesus and the cost of what was to come, contrasting sharply with Judas, who would sell him so cheaply
Fr Josh Whitehead says Palm Sunday holds a paradox at its heart: revealing the inner tension of the human heart, wavering between faith and fear, love and self-interest. Both a celebration and a preparation, it calls us to open our hearts to God's presence, acknowledge our human fragility, and walk the week ahead with awe, courage, and trust in Christ's boundless mercy
Fr Sean Cullen says Peter's bold claim of unwavering loyalty to Jesus shows how easily we can overestimate our strength and underestimate our weaknesses. True strength lies not in unshakeable self-belief, but in recognising our human limitations and placing our trust in God
. Bishop Tony Percy says the story of Lazarus is a catalyst for Christ's own death and resurrection. St Leo the Great proclaims: “let happen in your hearts what will happen to your bodies.” We remind ourselves that the most important day in our life is the day of our death because we will meet Jesus who will resurrect us into himself.
Arnie Hurdoyal says Mary's "yes" to God emerged from a moment of genuine disruption and holy uncertainty, as she is confronted with a call that does not fit her plans. We are called to the same posture: when life is interrupted by something we didn't plan for, to pause, resist the urge to dismiss it, and ask what God might be saying in that very place of disturbance
