On this feast of the Holy Family, we are invited to reflect on our own families looking at them as a domestic Church.

The Word has become flesh and now lives amongst us!

On last Sunday of Advent we hear the account of the visitation. The pregnant Mary travels through the Judean Hill Country to visit her cousin Elizabeth. What journeys do we need to make in the name of charity?

There is a shift in the liturgy this weekend. John the Baptist is still centre stage....or is he? No, he isn't fit to untie the strap of the Messiah's sandal....Rejoice! Jesus is coming, are we ready?

St John the baptist issues a wake up call in todays Gospel. Christ is coming, are we ready?

Advent is a time when we prepare for the coming of Christ at the end of time and we remember Christ's first coming as we approach Christmas. We do this by reflecting on the third coming of Christ - that is, the daily coming of Christ. Christ comes to us each day - are we awake and alert to his presence?

In this homily for Christ the King (YrB) we reflect on how God's kingdom is very different to our earthly understanding of power. We remind ourselves that as Kings and Queens in God's kingdom we have a role to play in bringing the Kingdom about on Earth.

Remembrance is fundamental to our humanity. Memory and remembrance is also a Christian act, for ot lies at the heart of our Catholic Christian faith.

Generosity is the hallmark of the Christian disciple. We are called to be generous not simply because it's a good thing, but because we have encountered the the generosity of God first.

Today we celebrate the great feast of All Saints, where we celebrate all who have gone before us and are with God in heaven. As we do so, we are inspired by the example of the Saints and are encouraged to live saintly lives ourselves.
