Reflection of the Week - 8 October 2019

Posted in Faith

Daylight saving; what to with those extra hours of sunlight offered, when the hands of the clock are wound forward one hour until autumn?

The amount of daylight  I have varies with the seasons.   The time at my disposal is the same, whatever the season. I can't  preserve the sunlight like a savings account kept for a rainy day.

There may never be a tomorrow like today. The time available to me  today cannot come again. This moment, this day will not be repeated tomorrow. Right now is the moment for me to  make the most of the time..

The most productive investments are those made in people. I will not put off until tomorrow, what I can do today, to help someone else in the name of Christ.

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 - 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.

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.
