Two-Minute Homily by Bishop Tim Norton SVD (Bishop of Broome) for the The Ascension of the Lord 2025, Year C. "When we receive the love of a brother or sister, it is the presence of Jesus. When we share that same love with a brother or sister, we help to make Jesus present."

As we mark the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’, this Laudato Si’ Week invites us to reflect on the call to open our hearts to the urgent cry of our suffering earth. Jess reminds us that God’s creation is a sacred gift entrusted to our care, and in a world often overwhelmed by despair, she encourages us to believe that every action—no matter how small—has the power to heal and transform. Let us aspire to make a real and lasting impact for the future of our planet and all who call it home. ♻️ Saint Francis of Assisi, pray for us.

Two-Minute Homily by Fr Adrian Farrelly for the Sixth Sunday of Easter 2025, Year C. "The Trinity, Father, Son and Spirit wants to make a home with us. With all the thoughts and feelings, we associate with that one word, that is what God wants to set up in us."

Let's Pray with Ash Knox as we journey together in prayer this National Reconciliation Week.

Two-Minute Homily by Fr Joe McKay OFM for the Fifth Sunday of Easter 2025, Year C. "What Jesus asks of His disciples, of us, is not an easy or sentimental love. It is the command to love without expecting anything in return."

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.
