Understanding Stewardship: Our Gifts and Responsibilities. Homily, 21st October
Explore the profound responsibilities that come with God’s gifts and how faithfulness should shape our stewardship in everyday life.
God is above every Caesar. Homily, 29th Sunday of Ordinary Time, 18th October
In this discourse, Jesus skillfully responds to the Pharisees’ tax question, illustrating the distinction between civil authority and divine ownership. While citizens should respect government, they belong ultimately to God. The homily emphasises that true freedom derives from recognising our creation by God, rather than self-determination, urging a prioritisation of spiritual commitments over political distractions.
Saint Edward: A King Under Christ’s Authority. Homily, Patronal Feast, 18th October
Saint Edward, once King of England, highlights the importance of recognising Christ’s sovereignty above earthly authority. His legacy serves as a reminder that true greatness lies in surrendering to God’s will. Christianity teaches that strength comes from self-control, love, and humility, inviting all to let Christ reign in every aspect of life.
Overcoming Hypocrisy: Finding Your True Identity in God. Homily, 16th October
The readings emphasise the dangers of hypocrisy and the significance of authenticity in our relationship with God. They highlight that God sees and understands us fully, offering freedom from the need for pretence. Through Christ, believers find their true identity and worth, independent of others’ approval, recognising that only God’s judgement truly matters.
