Fr. John preaches the third homily of a four homily series talking about the Transfiguration and adjusting the mixer of our lives to become faithful disciples.

Fr. John offers a reflection for the Second Sunday of Lent---with the scene of the Transfiguration in the gospel.  Another epiphany moment for us taking place on a mountain top.  Don't fall asleep listening to this edition of the WARM UP.

Fr. John begins our Lenten journey reflecting on the 3 temptations of the devil we hear in the Gospel this weekend.

In the second homily of this series, Fr. John talks about the need to approach the gift of our faith as being students of the Master---Jesus Christ.  We come to church each week to learn and grow becoming like the Master---being sent out to be Jesus in our world.  We need to listen better and two of the ways to do that is to include more silence in our lives and savouring the mundane sounds around us.

A good heart bears good fruit and an evil heart bears evil fruit.  We are called to bear good fruit in this world and that can only be done when we let Christ into our hearts.  God's grace transforms us into disciples who share the light of the Gospel.  How can we do that today?  Listen to find out.

Fr. John begins a new message series called CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? by talking about the noise in our world today.  We are overwhelmed and cannot understand God or one another.  We are too caught up with broadcasting and not listening which then does not allow us to understand.  As faithful disciples we are called to follow Christ by first listening with our minds and hearts to God and each other.  This is the only way we can bring grace, light and hope in the world.

The list is long in the gospel today on how we are called to live as faithful disciples.  All of it makes sense but easier said than done.  What can help us be Christ in our world today?  Listen and find out.

Jesus in the gospel this weekend offers blesses and woes for us.  The Good News of the gospel fulfills, completes and restores.  May we be faithful disciples who share the Good News with those in most need!!

Fr. John concludes this message series by reflecting on the gospel as Jesus takes Peter and others out into the deep waters for a catch!!  Jesus enters into our lives and challenges us to trust him and go out into the unknown to catch people with His grace, love and mercy!!  Like the saints, we need to live our story as part of the bigger story of God's love in this world.

The gospel this weekend teaches us to follow Jesus into the deep waters trusting where he leads us as we seek to be fishers of people.  Where is the Lord calling us today to trust in him as faithful and loving disciples?  Listen and find out.
