A Resolution to End All Resolutions
A Resolution to End All Resolutions
The theory is simple. We are all weak, so even if we do manage to keep an odd resolution here and there throughout our lives, we will never manage to keep them all, never mind conquer the sins that continually topple us. So, make just one resolution, and that is to turn and open yourself to receive ‘Love Unlimited’ as much as you are able, each day.

The Christmas Message
The Christmas Message
This is what the first Christians called the Good News, the news that Jesus came to bring us. His message was that God is not just love but that he is loving us all the time and that he loves us not just as a father but as a dad.

The Meaning of the Immaculate Conception
The Meaning of the Immaculate Conception
St Paul said that Christ was “Like us in every way but sin” . That is why at the very moment that he decided that his Son would be made flesh, that decision included having a human mother. As Blessed John Duns Scouts put it: “If God willed the end he must have willed the means”. If he chose to enter into this world as a human being he must have a human mother.

The Mystery of Marriage
The Mystery of Marriage
At the dawn of Christianity when new converts, mainly Jews, asked about the Messiah whom they had not met in person, they were introduced to him, not just by word of mouth but through a new method of prayer called meditation. This was one of the main reasons why Mathew, Mark, and Luke wrote down their recollections in the Gospels so that new converts could meet their Messiah in person in their

The Living Temple - An Easter Reflection
The Living Temple - An Easter Reflection
Unless we want our faith to degenerate into at best, little more than pleasing liturgical practices, then we must realise something that has too often been forgotten over the centuries and particularly in ours. Unless we are prepared to take up our daily Cross, most particularly in our daily prayer life, then we will remain little more than nominal Catholics.

From Loving to Union
From Loving to Union
If all are called to union with God how else could this union be realised except in, with, and through Christ. He came, not just to tell us this, but to show us how to be united with him in his mystical body, and in his mystical loving of his Father. This is the essence of the God-given spirituality for which Christ lived and died, that leads us into the fullness of life and love and the happiness

Know Thyself: Lord that We May See
Know Thyself: Lord that We May See

Without God's Love, Without Prayer - We Have Nothing
Without God's Love, Without Prayer - We Have Nothing
Once you admit that ‘prayer’ is merely the word we use to describe the practical way we go about allowing God’s love to enter into our lives, to change us, and through us others, then you have to admit that prayer is the most important thing in our lives.
