Healing Broken Hearts episodes

  • Easter Saturday, ‘Debbie Downers’
    Mark 16:9-15 Misery loves company, but only the same kind of company. Like the disciples we can get stuck in our misery and focus on the problems not the promise of the resurrection. Jesus is calling out to us, ‘Eyes up here’… There is nothing the power of the resurrection can not redeem and therefore give us hope.

  • 6th Sun OT, Have you been blessed?

    In the Gospel today Jesus looks right at his disciples and says something that seems quite the contrary of what one would expect or think about being ‘blessed’.  When was the last time you said or felt you were blessed?

  • 2nd Sat OT ‘The Great Crisis in the Church today’

    Mark 3:20-21   “He is out of his mind.”

    Jesus relatives knew Jesus but they did not really know him, who he really was.  They said he was ‘out of his mind’.  The great crisis in the church today is many within the Church know about Jesus but they don’t really ‘know him’.  Evangelization has to be more than words about Jesus but facilitating an encounter with the risen Lord.

  • 2nd Sat Advent ‘The key to understanding all reality’

     Matthew 17:9, 10-13 

    St John Paul II said the key to understand all reality is the loss of fatherhood. The first reading that refers to what the prophet Malichi said: “How awesome are you, Elijah, in your wondrous deeds! You were destined, it is written, in time to come to put an end to wrath before the day of the LORD, To turn back the hearts of fathers toward their sons, and to re-establish the tribes of Jacob. 

    Advent invites us to ponder the reason behind the mystery of the incarnation, of God’s coming to us in his Beloved Son. Jesus is the one who has come to turn our rebellious hearts back to our Heavenly Father.

  • 1st Sat of Advent, How Dependent God is on us

    Matthew 9:35-10:1, 5-8  “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”

    How dependent god is on us, to help complete his mission. He calls, he equips and then he sends us, ‘to be his hands, his heart’.
