Pete Gilmore challenges the common feeling of our insignificance in one's contributions to the church. Too often, we minimize our contributions, forgetting that as sons and daughters of God, every act done in His will carries eternal value

Fr Mark De Battista says Jesus’ words about bringing division refer not to a rejection of peace, but to the inevitable division caused when his truth confronts human freedom and sin

Bishop Tony Percy says opposition from others can be our greatest spiritual nemesis.

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.

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.

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

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

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
