Reflection of the Week - 28 November 2018

Posted in Faith

We enter a season of waiting, watching. Watching out for the specials. Waiting to receive the perfect gift. Friends, let us wait upon Jesus, the one true perfect gift.

Jesus said: "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. It's like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back; whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the  rooster crows, or at dawn; If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!'

Think about the following questions; What am I waiting for? Who am I waiting for?

Thank you, Jesus, for the reminder that you are the perfect gift, worth waiting for. Help me to keep my eyes on you, to not be distracted by things in this world, but recognise them as good gifts you give to me.

Come, Lord Jesus, come.

Stories of Life

Who doesn’t love a story? Hope, conflict, wonder, desperation, loneliness, surprise, love, a hero. Story seems to be wired into our DNA. We all tell them, and we find many ways to do them.

Reflection of the Week - 26th March 2024

Reflect, today, upon how willing you are to embrace sacrifice in your own life. No, your sacrifices are not able to save the world by their own merit, but if you face your crosses in life, be they big or small, and if you intentionally and wholeheartedly unite them to the actions of Jesus that first Holy Week, then you can be certain that you will suffer with our Lord. But you can also be certain that your suffering will be transformed by the power of this Holy Week and lead you to a glorious sharing in His triumph over all sin and suffering.

Reflection of the Week - 19th March 2024

The act of making a pilgrimage – traveling to a sacred place to encounter the divine – is ancient, probably as old as humanity itself. Perhaps the first Christian pilgrimage was that of the Wise Men, men who were not even believers in the Messiah, but who knew that “something” drew them from their homes and studies. Unsure as to what they sought, they found not a someTHING, but a someONE: Christ the Lord.
