30 September, 2019. Monday of Week 26

28 September, 2019. Saturday of Week 25

Zechariah teaches us not to be too gloomy or pessimistic. Each sorrow can be transformed into a reason for hope. In God’s name he says, “I will favour Jerusalem and the house of Judah; do not fear.”

27 September, 2019. Friday of Week 25

Luke, more than the other evangelists, regularly portrays Jesus at prayer. It was after such a pause for prayer that he asked his disciples the two questions, “Who do others say I am?” and “Who do you say I am?” They were important questions. …

26 September, 2019. Thursday of Week 25

Luke paints a sad portrait of Herod the Tetrarch, for whom religion was a curiosity, a practical way to win the people’s loyalty. How ironic that his wish to see the Nazarene prophet was fulfilled only when, for political reasons…

25 September, 2019. Wednesday of Week 25

Ezra was like another Moses, urging his Hebrew people to faithfully keep their covenant with God. Although the Jews returned from exile in 537 B.C., on reaching the Promised Land they accomplished little, apart from partially…

24 September, 2019. Tuesday of Week 25

Whatever our level of faith, we need an openness to the real world and cordial relations with other people. Perhaps that was what Jesus meant in his reply to the message of his mother Mary and his relatives…

23 September, 2019. Monday of Week 25

Our readings over the next three weeks are from the early post-exilic period, from the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, Haggai, Zechariah, Baruch, Jonah, Malachi and Joel. All of them shared a deep love for the Jerusalem temple…

22 September, 2019. 25th Sunday (C)

We may worry about devaluation and shrinking purchasing power as we recall what money could buy when we were young. But what really devalues money is if we make it an idol, or use it purely selfishly…

21 September, 2019. St Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist

His name Mattija (“gift of Jahweh”) was given to him by Jesus when calling him as an apostle, but he brought with him from his earlier profession a gift for clear and orderly presentation of the story of Jesus

20 September, 2019. Friday of Week 24

Because of his obviously high regard for women, Luke’s Gospel is sometimes called The Gospel of Women. Today’s summary of the Lord’s ministry is idyllic, like a glorious lap of honour when Jesus was winning everyone for the kingdom of God…

19 September, 2019. Thursday of Week 24

We would not intrude on a meal unless we are invited. Yet this woman intrudes without invitation. She did so because she desperately wanted to come near Jesus and show him a service of hospitality and love…

18 September, 2019. Wednesday of Week 24

Christians are meant to dance to Jesus’ tune. The idea of dancing to someone else’s tune usually has negative overtones. But as followers of Jesus we should attune our ears to his rhythms

17 September, 2019. Tuesday of Week 24

Widows were the most financially and socially vulnerable group in the ancient world, where women had little personal agency. Without their husbands, they had to depend on their children, particularly their sons, to provide for them…

15 September, 2019. 24th Sunday (C)

    26 Mar 2023 – 5th Sunday of Lent, Year A

    March 26 2023
    Fr Pierre Farrugia OFM
    Hi there, from what I've read, the Latin Church Fathers held that Mary the sister of Lazarus and Mary Magdalene, were one and the same woman. The Greek Fathers, on the other hand, supported the tradition that they were three distinct women (as you add the "sinful woman" into the mix). A good article on new advent dot com will specify the details. From that well-researched article, one would more reasonably side with the Latin Fathers. This being the case, a beautiful story of discipleship emerges through the life of St Mary Magdalene, one which can be held as a prototype for each of us. Have a look and God bless you on your journey.

    Brendan Hoban: Gratuitous violence is at the heart of the ‘Banshees’

    March 26 2023
    Sean O’Conaill
    The miniature donkey deserved an oscar - for patient self-sacrifice in the service of a miserable plot. No one could ever believe it had choked on Brendan Gleeson’s fingers, dedicated vegetarian that it obviously was. It was faking it, to bring the whole impossible enterprise to an end, so that the film crew could get out of the rain and into the pub. The Quiet Girl towered above that nonsense, attentive as it was to the deepest poignancies of family life in rural Ireland. Catherine Clinch, the wee girl who out-acted the big-budget actors of the ‘Banshees’, should at least have been awarded the recovered miniature donkey. They were obviously made for one another.

    A couple of comments on T Benedicta’s reflection: So often, Mary of Bethany is mistaken for Mary Magdalene. Yes, Mary of Bethany, sister of Martha and Lazarus, did anoint Jesus in preparation for his burial. Yes, seven demons were cast out of Mary Magdalene. Also, I think a little clarification as to why Jesus waited 4 days. In Jewish tradition in Jesus’ time, the body was not truly dead until the fourth day. The belief was that the spirit hovered around the body for three days. Lazarus was indeed dead, thus more credence for Jesus’ miracle.
