Celebrating at Home: From Temptation to Transfiguration 1st Sunday of Lent Our great Lenten journey has begun! It’s a journey which begins in ash and ends in water. We begin Lent in the ash of acknowledging our own part in harbouring, creating and doing evil - those places in our hearts where the fire of anger, bitterness, selfishness or narrowness of mind and heart has left nothing but cold ash. The ash is a reminder that our true life is not found in mortal things which eventually turn to dust, but in eternal thi ...Continue Reading

Celebrating at Home: Called to be a Living Gospel 2nd Sunday of Ordinary Time This Sunday could very well be called ‘Vocation Sunday’. Both the first reading and the Gospel are stories of call and response. The episode we read in the first reading is well described as ‘Samuel’s Call.’ Taken together with the Gospel, it’s hard to escape the thought that this Sunday is Vocation Sunday for all disciples.  Just as God calls Samuel and Eli points the way, Jesus calls Andrew and the other disciple and John the Baptis ...Continue Reading
