Send us a text As the church year comes to a close, our Holy mother Church reminds us as its her custom about the things of the end times - things about the final days of the world, things about the our own death and things about the Final Judgment. This 33rd Sunday of OT C is no different. The 1st and Gospel readings inform us about what will happen before and at the end of time. When some people look at the wars, conflict. grief, violence and aggression, chaos and confusion in o...
Send us a text This Sunday we celebrate the dedication of the Basilica of Saint John Lateran, one of the most important Churches for us Catholics. Ultimately, this celebration is a celebration of the people of God- the Church, the body of Christ. St Paul reminds us that this Church has Christ as foundation. We are part of the body- the Church. St Paul reminds us again that like the Church, we too are temples of God's, vessels of God's Spirit. Like His bride the Church, Christ loves us ...
Send us a text Friends, we celebrate todays feast in honour of all the saints. Just as God took Moses to the top of the mountain to give him the 10 Commandments,in the gospel Jesus takes us all up the mountain to give us His word. He gives us the job description of becoming a saint. He tells us that if we live according to his word, we would never walk alone. That he will walk alongside us, in front of us to ensure that we join him and all the saints in heaven. Friends let us pray today that ...
Send us a text How do we know how to live a good Christian life? The best answer to this question is given in this Sunday's readings. Like all good inventors, God has given us a manual to help us live a good Christian life. That manual is Holy Scripture- which St Paul tells us in the 2nd reading is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. In the first reading these same sacred writings tell us that in their fight wi...
Send us a text Friends in Christ, the word of God, Jesus, is life because he nourishes us not only in the Eucharist but through His word. This Sunday's readings challenge us to not only give thanks to God for his love but also to imitate this love in our dealings with one other whether people acknowledge our love or not. God is good to us, even when we’re ungrateful. Likewise, let us love like God does and not withhold love for our brothers and sisters even if the don't acknowledge our ...
Send us a text The Gospel of Luke, the Gospel of God’s compassion, the Gospel of the lowly being raised up, challenges us today with the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man. Lazarus, a man in dire need, covered in sores, right outside the door of a rich man who has more than enough to provide for his own needs and those of Lazarus – but does nothing to help him. In fact, the rich man’s dog shows more compassion toward Lazarus (by licking his sores) than the rich man! The story is meant ...
Send us a text Friends in Christ, on this day in which we celebrate the triumph of Christ's cross, the 1st reading and the gospel give us a beautiful allegory of our Christian life. For 40 years the Israelites struggled with sin and temptation. Poisoned by snake bites they only had to look at the serpent mounted on a pole in order to be healed. Similarly, our Christian life from baptism to death is a struggle with sin and temptation. When we sin, we are poisoned. The wages of sin is death scr...

Send us a text Brothers and sisters in Jesus, Christ, the common theme of today’s readings is the importance of practicing humility and avoiding self-glorification or pride. 1) Humility enables us first to accept others as God’s children, our brothers and sisters, redeemed by the blood of Jesus. 2) Humility also encourages us to offer them loving and sacrificial service through acts of charity, mercy and forgiveness. 3) Humility enables us to accept ourselves as we are before God, with all ou...
Send us a text Friends, welcome to PTTSOTW On this feast of two giants of our faith, Saints Peter and Paul. This is one of those calendar feasts that replace what would be the Sunday of the Year, in this case, the Thirteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time. When we consider St. Peter and St. Paul, we are often drawn into a reflection of their lives before they became committed apostles. We remember the lovable rogue and fisherman Simon, who tried to walk on water towards the Lord and then sank ...
