Measuring Faith: What’s Growing in Your Spiritual Life? Homily, 14th October
The homily highlights the importance of genuine spiritual growth over mere religious observance. Jesus criticises those who focus on minor rituals while neglecting deeper virtues like justice and love. True faith should produce fruits of the Spirit, such as patience and forgiveness, indicating a transformative relationship with Christ rather than just outward appearances.
Embrace the Feast: The Importance of Sunday Mass. Homily, 28th Sunday of Ordinary Time
Isaiah depicts salvation as a divine banquet, showcasing God’s invitation to His people to embrace true life. Many, however, prioritise mundane tasks over this call. The Gospel illustrates that while the guests may not overtly reject the King, they overlook the profound blessing of His feast, missing the true significance of their invitation.

The Cost of Truth: Embracing Conscience Like St. John Henry Newman. Homily, 9th October
Saint John Henry Newman pursued truth at great personal cost, transitioning to Catholicism through intense study and prayer. He advocated that faith and reason are allies, with conscience guiding moral decisions. Newman emphasised that truth demands obedience, prompting deep reflection on individual commitment to God rather than mere intellectual acceptance of faith.
