One of the greatest sorrows in the history of Christianity is that Christians have so often fought and killed fellow Christians.

The apostles could hardly have imagined their future. God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself (2 Cor 5:17).

When the corona virus is pervasive we pray. We are helpless. But the medics who care for us are not there to deceive. They exist to help us.

With the closure of Christian Unity week which ended yesterday we witness another phase in the life of the Church.

Baptism in the Jordan was Jesus’ public commitment to the values of the Kingdom of God.

"Grace was God's loving kindness shown to his people, and truth meant unyielding fidelity to promises and commitments."

On Gaudete Sunday we see the best in all humanity...

Our End of Time is: “Love that moves the sun and the other stars”

As Christians today we come back to Our Lord: “Nobody takes my life from me: I lay it down of my own accord” (Jn 10:18).

Our presence here at Mass shows our willingness to want to be like Our Lord.

The family image of The Trinity remains essential. We go back to the Creation Narrative in the Book of Genesis.
