Dear friends in Christ
The liturgy is a lesson in vigilance this Sunday: because the enemy never rests, and love never sleeps.
Dear friends in Christ
The message of the liturgy of this Sunday is stark: our life on earth is brief!
Dear friends in Christ
We have just completed, and returned from, our Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes
Today’s Gospel recounts the arrival of Jesus to visit his friends Martha, Mary and Lazarus at Bethany. Jesus would often stop at their house to rest and eat with them. He felt at home there, surrounded by their warmth and affection.
The Gospel of this Sunday tells of the cure of a man possessed by the devil. We have to remain on watch so that the wiles of the evil one do not mislead or enslave us. One of the worse forms of this entrapment is the attitude of apathy and lukewarmness; the overwhelming sense that it doesn’t matter, that there is no urgency, that we can make-do as we are.
