Fr Anthony Mellor explains that the sign of the cross is truly foundational for Catholics, expressing both the heart of our faith and our identity as followers of Christ. This ancient gesture, rooted in Scripture and tradition, reminds us that we belong to God, having been marked as His own since baptism. When Catholics make the sign of the cross, we recall the central mystery of the Trinity and affirm our belief in God’s love, revealed through Jesus’ sacrifice. Pope Francis had said, this simple act is like an embrace from God, enveloping us in His love and drawing us deeper into the divine life.

Two-Minute Homily by Fr Francis Belcina OSA for the Fourth Sunday of Easter 2025, Year C (Good Shepherd Sunday). "As sheep, you and I, we can get lost along the way, and perhaps even repeatedly. But our God searches for us. Our God knows me, He knows you."

Happy Mother’s Day! Join Ijeoma in prayer honouring the strength, love, and sacrifice of all mothers. May God bless them with patience, wisdom, and peace; comfort those who grieve or hurt; and inspire families to cherish and support their mothers every day. We entrust all our intentions to the loving care of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our model of grace and motherly love.

Sr Mary Joseph Sze first felt the gentle call to religious life at just 16. This year, she celebrates her Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years of devoted service with the Sisters of St Paul de Chartres Australia. Reflecting on her journey, Sr Mary Joseph describes Jesus as her bridegroom, one who lovingly “spoils his bride,” and she draws daily strength from this deep relationship. She reminds us that, like her, we are all God’s children, called to trust in His plan for our lives at every age. Her story stands as a testament to enduring faith, hope, and commitment. May we, too, experience the love that God freely gives and live out our vocation with courage and joy.

This month, Pope Francis invites us to pray for working conditions. Let us join in prayer with Jennifer Burrows.
