Gospel Reflection – 755 12th April 2026 – 2nd Sunday of Easter

Do you know the end of Thomas’ story? Do you know where he died? He died in India. He was the apostle to the people of India. He brought the gospel of Christ to India. He died a martyr after he was run through with five spears by five soldiers.Read More →

Gospel Reflection – 754 5th April 2026 – Easter Sunday

Just as the Gospels are a catalogue of the most unexpected events, so our own lives are full of scenarios that we cannot understand. Sometimes, we run from them because they are too great for us. By his Resurrection, Jesus is giving us revived hope in those situations. If heRead More →

Jimmy Lai is a 78-year-old British citizen who has been imprisoned for more than five years already and has spent most of that time in solitary confinement in a small cell with no natural light and in extreme heat. Now he has been sentenced to a 20-year jail sentence which,Read More →

Gospel Reflection – 752 22nd March 2026 – Fifth Sunday of Lent

John 11:25 includes one of the most life changing “I Am” statements made by Jesus. Martha’s response in verse 27 is a powerful confession of faith that must be replicated. She acknowledges Jesus as the Messiah (the Christ) and the Son of God. Her statement reflects a deep trust inRead More →

Gospel Reflection – 751 15th March 2026 – Fourth Sunday of Lent

The icon of the Sunday of the Blind Man* depicts the biblical story of Christ healing the man who was blind since birth. Our Lord is shown placing the clay on the eyes of the man. He is with his disciples who are questioning Christ about the source of theRead More →

Gospel Reflection – 750 8th March 2026 – Third Sunday of Lent

What would we want others to know about Jesus if we decided to talk about him? Jesus is more than a teacher or a historical figure; he is someone who knows and loves each of us deeply. When we talk about Jesus, we’re sharing the message that he cares, forgives,Read More →

Gospel Reflection – 749 1st March 2026 – Second Sunday of Lent

In the Hebrew Scriptures high mountains were traditionally seen as holy places where one could encounter God. It was on the summit of Mt Sinai that Moses received the Law from God (Ex 19) and it was on Mt Horeb that Elijah encountered God in the gentle breeze (1Kings 19:9ff).Read More →

Gospel Reflection – 748 22nd February 2026 – First Sunday of Lent

We read that this Lenten fast was formerly observed by Moses and Elijah, and by it is shown that the Gospel does not differ from the Law and the Prophets. Moreover, by this fast we are instructed that after Baptism we ought throughout the whole time of this present worldRead More →

Gospel Reflection – 747 15th February 2026 – 6th Sunday of Ordinary Time

Jesus’ fulfilling was to be seen in contrast to annulling. Jesus would bring a new mindset to the Torah. He was not the first to do this. The prophets had consistently interpreted and studied the Torah in depth, teasing out its consequences, purifying it and applying it to the ever-changing social conditions. InRead More →

Gospel Reflection – 746 8th February 2026 – 5th Sunday of Ordinary Time

In our 21st c. Christian ears, what Jesus says is charming. But something is lost. We translate two different words from Matthew’s Greek manuscript. One word, “Kosmos,” we hear as “world,” as in “the light of the world.” The other we translate as “earth,” as in “the salt of theRead More →
