My homily for Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord, Year C, as preached during the live-streamed 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton. The readings proclaimed were Luke 19:28-40; Isaiah 50:4-7; Philippians 2:6-11; Luke 22:14 - 23:56. Today's psalm is Psalm 21: "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?" "Luke goes to great lengths to focus not so much on the details of Christ's Passion but on the fundamental injustice of Christ's condemnation and death. The injustice flows from a misunderstanding - deliberate or otherwise - of what the Messiah was meant to be and a belief that Jesus did not fit the expectation of the religious authorities of the day. As disciples of Jesus, we are called to proclaim the Reign of God that Jesus inaugurated, not what we believe it should be."
My homily for the 5th Sunday of Lent, Year C, as preached during the live-streamed 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton. During today's Mass, we celebrated the Third Scrutiny with Donald. The readings proclaimed were Ezekiel 37:12-14; Romans 8:8-11; John 11:1-45. The psalm today is Psalm 129: "With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption." "The raising of Lazarus from the dead confirms Martha's proclamation of faith in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God, the one promised by God. Jesus' delay in responding to the original message sets up both the profession of faith and the confirmation of God's glory through the raising of Lazarus to 'new life', a promise held out to all those who can profess Jesus as the Christ."
My homily for the 4th Sunday of Lent, Year C, as preached during the live-streamed 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, hamilton. During today's Mass, we celebrated the Second Scrutiny with Donald. The readings proclaimed were 1 Samuel 16:1, 6-7, 10-13; Ephesians 5:8-14; John 9:1-41. Today's psalm is Psalm 22: "The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want." "The healing by Jesus of the man born blind overturned the understanding of physical ailment as punishment for sin and drew the young man to encounter a truth he could not deny or avoid even when confronted by intense interrogation and pressure from the religious authorities. The young man eventually comes to a place where he is able to confess 'Lord, I believe'. God's action through Jesus Christ brings us from the darkness of unbelief into the light of undeniable truth - if we open ourselves to the action of God in our lives."
My homily for the 3rd Sunday of Lent, Year C, as preached during the live-streamed 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton. During today's Mass, we baptised Oliver and celebrated the First Scrutiny with Donald. The readings proclaimed were Exodus 17:3-7; Romans 5:1-2, 5-8; John 4:5-42. Today's psalm is Psalm 94: "If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts." "The conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman was initiated by Jesus, not the woman, and it was the conversation that brought the gift of faith alive in her heart and changed her life. Faith is not something we initiated; it starts with God reaching out to us, and we respond not just in one moment but across the course of our lives."
My homily for the 2nd Sunday of Lent, Year C, as preached during the live-streamed 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton. The readings proclaimed were Genesis 15:5-12, 17-18; Philippians 3:17 - 4:1; Luke 9:28-36. Today's Psalm is Psalm 26: "The Lord is my light and my salvation". "The transfiguration of the Lord confirms what Jesus had been teaching his apostles in the days before, that Jesus, 'the Chosen One', had to go to Jerusalem, to suffer and to die, in order to fulfil God's plan of salvation for humanity. It is a reminder that God's ways are not our ways, and that we are called to play the part in God's plan rather than focus on what we think should happen."
My homily for the 8th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C, as preached during the live-streamed 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton. The readings proclaimed were Sirach 27:4-7; 1 Corinthians 15:54-58; Luke 6:39-45. Today's Psalm is Psalm 91: "Lord, it is good to give thanks to you". "Rather than judging others, or even attempting to draw them to a 'right way of life', our Gospel today has Jesus showing us that the first step is to 'get our own house in order', to ensure that our heart is aligned to God and what God asks of us, before passing judgment on others or calling our their behaviours. If our heart is not aligned to God, what comes from our mouth is also not aligned to God."
My homily for the 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C, as preached during the live-streamed 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton. Today we marked the 60th anniversary of the service of Sisters from Our Lady's Nurses of the Poor in the Newcastle area. The readings proclaimed were 1 Samuel 26: 2, 7-9, 12-13, 22-23; 1 Corinthians 15:45-49; Luke 6:27-38. Today's Psalm is Psalm 102: "The Lord is kind and merciful". "In the exaggerated style of the prophets, Jesus calls us to undertake tasks that society would consider foolish. It is a reminder that our ways are God's ways, not societies, even if society tells us we are foolish and dismisses us."
My homily for the 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C, as preached during the live-streamed 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton. The readings proclaimed were Jeremiah 17:5-8; 1 Corinthians 15:12, 16-20; Luke 6:17, 20-26. Today's Psalm is Psalm 1: "Happy are those who hope in the Lord." "Luke's recounting of the Beatitudes highlights the difference between following the true prophets, those who call God's people back to right relationship with God even at the risk of death, and following the false prophets, who serve not God but the latest fashion, the latest fad, because it does not require conversion of heart. Our hope is the in the Lord, and we are called to listen to what God makes known to us, trusting solely in God's wisdom."
My homily for the 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C, as preached during the live-streamed 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton. Today is also marked as Word of God Sunday. The readings proclaimed were Isaiah 6:1-8; 1 Corinthians 15:1-11; Luke 5:1-11. Today's Psalm is Psalm 137: "In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord." "Like Isaiah, Paul and Peter, we are called not only to hear the Word of God addressed to us but to listen. Listening requires being open to allowing the Word of God to penetrate our very being, to find a home in our very self, and accepting that by doing so we will be forever transformed because the Word of God will change us."
My homily for the 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C, as preached during the live-streamed 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton. The readings proclaimed were Jeremiah 1:4-5, 17-19; 1 Corinthians 12:31 - 13:13; Luke 4:21-30. Today's Psalm is Psalm 70: "I will sing of your salvation." "The mission of Jesus is not simply to those who are expecting the Messiah, the Promised One of the Lord, but also - and perhaps necessarily so - to those who have not encountered that promise. We, too, are not able to restrict our proclamation of the Good News of Jesus only to those who we wish to proclaim it; our task is to proclaim the Reign of God to the whole world."
My homily for the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C, as preached during the live-streamed 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton. The readings proclaimed were Nehemiah 8:2-6, 8-10; 1 Corinthians 12:12-30; Luke 1:1-4, 4:14-21. Today's Psalm is Psalm 18: "Your words, Lord, are spirit and life." "'This scripture is being fulfilled today even as you listen', says Jesus in the synagogue in Nazara. And yet we really need to ask if that is true in our day and age. Are we proclaiming good news to the poor? Liberty to captives? Proclaiming the year of the Lord's favour? Or are we so concerned with ensuring we don't transgress someone's interpretation of God's Law? In a world in desperate need of the Good News, let's be about the task that Jesus has given to us."
My homily for the 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C, as preached during the live-streamed 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton. The readings proclaimed were Isaiah 62:1-5; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; John 2:1-11. Today's Psalm is Psalm 95: "Proclaim his marvellous deeds to all the nations". "In turning water into wine, Jesus reveals himself to be 'Bridegroom of Israel' as prophesied by Isaiah, as the fulfilment of God's promise to God's people. We are called to joyfully celebrate God's graciousness, and live that joy in the world so that all might have life in its fullness."
My homily for the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, Year C, as preached during the live-streamed 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton.

"God's glory is revealed on the banks of the Jordan, and God's gracious gift of self for the salvation of us, God's people, is once again portrayed for us who are the beneficiaries of God's generosity. As our Christmas season comes to a close, let's not forget what we have celebrated over these days: God's salvation is offered to us."
My homily for the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord, Year C, as preached during the live-streamed 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton.

My homily for the Third Sunday of Advent, Year C, preached during the live-streamed 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton. During the Mass, we celebrated Confirmation with Amelia and Giovanni, and immediately after Mass, we celebrated Baptism with two families. The readings proclaimed were Zephaniah 3:14-18; Philippians 4:4-7; Luke 3:10-18. "After their baptism for repentance for sins, John's disciples asked 'What must we do?' The answer is clear: live as if it means something, and don't go back to old habits, old ways of living. Live as if what you have experienced means something. We are called to do the same thing: having been baptised, we are called to live differently, to live as Jesus would have us live, always open to God's grace when we stumble."
My homily for the Second Sunday of Advent, Year C, preached during the 9.30am Mass from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton. The readings proclaimed were Baruch 5:1-9; Philippians 1:4-6, 8-11; Luke 3:1-6. "Advent is the season where we have the opportunity - in this time and in this place - to open ourselves to God's action in our lives so that those things that inhibit our ability to welcome the Second Coming of Jesus can be 'laid low, raised up, straightened, and made smooth'. It is not simply a spiritual exercise, but an exercise firmly situated in reality, in the here and now".
