    Creative Catholicism - Mary For A Fragile World - Episode 5 - Mary And Truth

    In this episode, Mary and Truth, Father James Grant explores Pilate’s ancient question—“What is truth?”—and reflects on how Jesus’ answer shapes Catholic understanding in a modern world that often suppresses traditional moral voices. Through Mary’s quiet, transformative spirituality and Christ’s parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, the episode reveals how true freedom and hope emerge not from human-made kingdoms, but from humble reliance on God and the steady, unseen growth of His kingdom in everyday life.

    Creative Catholicism - Mary For A Fragile World - Episode 4 - Mary and Judgement

    This episode of Mary for a Fragile World reflects on how decades of prosperity have left many Australians complacent, disengaged, and reluctant to confront the deeper causes of social problems, arguing that true compassion requires moral discernment and personal responsibility. Father James Grant critiques a culture that avoids judgment, noting its impact on homelessness, youth anxiety, addiction, and broader societal stagnation, and contrasts this with Marian theology, which emphasises truth, renewal, and the human capacity—through decisive action and partnership with God—to break cycles of despair and embrace meaningful change.

    Creative Catholicism - Mary For A Fragile World - Episode 3 - Mary and Mission

    In this episode of Mary for a Fragile World, Father James Grant explores the theme of “Mary and Mission,” reflecting on how Mary’s humble and faithful “yes” to God serves as the foundation and model for Christian mission. Drawing on the teachings of the Second Vatican Council and scripture, he emphasises that mission is not only about helping others but about allowing Mary’s example of trust, humility, and participation with God to transform individuals and societies. Father Grant argues that Marian spirituality remains profoundly active and interventionist, calling all Catholics to embrace their own “yes” to God and live the Gospel through their actions, just as Mary did.
