Faith isn't easy but as Fr Jim points out we are all called to spread the good news as the kingdom of heaven is close at hand.

This Sunday we commemorate Corpus Christi although the feast day is actually on the Thursday prior, it's the celebration in which we mark the transubstantiation of Christ's body and blood to bread and wine which we partake in as the Eucharist.

This Sunday was the first of the liturgical calendar, the Feast of the Holy Trinity which is perhaps one of the more challenging feast days to explain as it centres on one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith.

Fr Jim is back and this week we hear about the importance of unity, not only as members of a Church but in all aspects of our lives.

This weekend Fr Jim discuses how love is probably simultaneously both the most important of all Christian virtues yet is often by far the hardest of the virtues to achieve.

This weekend is commonly known as 'Good Shepherd Sunday' and so we here a special pastoral letter from our Bishop, Paul Swarbrick.

Today Fr Jim discusses lapsing, how after Lent with all our good intentions even the best of us tend to quickly lapse back into our regular routines.

As we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday, Fr Jim discusses the importance of forgiveness and how in many respects it defines us as Christians.

As we reach the climax of Holy Week, we celebrate Jesus' victory over death, Fr Jim explains the significance of the stone which was rolled away from the front of the tomb and how we can also be victorious over our own stone.

A second special extra episode of the Podcast during this Holy Week, this time a recording of The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John as read during mass at St. Bede's this Good Friday.
