    Charity is the Distinctive Mark of the Christian

    This episode invites listeners into the season of Lent, focusing on Christ’s willing journey to Jerusalem and his Passion as the wellspring of our salvation. It outlines prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as means to grow in knowledge, love, and service of God. Drawing on St. Paul’s teaching about charity and the example of the Sacred Heart, the talk urges anticipatory, compassionate love for neighbour — including enemies — and emphasises allowing Christ to love through us by prayer and frequent Holy Communion.

    At the Name of Jesus

    This episode reflects on the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus, linking His circumcision and naming to his divine mission as Saviour and the Church's ancient reverence for His Name. It contrasts this devotion with modern forces of religious indifferentism and moral decay, calls for reparation through devotion to the Holy Face, and urges believers to honour and proclaim the name of Jesus.

    St. Lawrence: A Testament of True Treasure and Sacrifice

    This episode delves into the extraordinary life of St. Lawrence, one of Rome’s revered deacons, who exemplified the Church's mission by prioritizing the poor and needy. As we recount his final act of defiance against the civil authorities, discover how St. Lawrence revealed where the Church's true treasures lie. Explore the spiritual paradox articulated by St. Paul—through giving, we receive. Understand the transformative power of self-denial and how dying to self leads to love, growth, and grace. Tackle the temptation of spiritual pride and embrace humility as you examine the grace that enables all good within us, acknowledging it as a divine gift. Join us to gain deeper insights from Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalene and St. Teresa of Avila, inspiring us to be generous and service-oriented, placing God at the core of our lives, just as St. Lawrence did unto martyrdom.

    The Holy Face of Jesus and the Beauty of Our Lady

    In this episode, we reflect on the significance of the Transfiguration and its impact on the faith of Peter, James, and John, as they witnessed the divine glory of Christ on the mountain. We explore how the vision of Christ's transfigured face served as a spiritual anchor during the trials of faith, illustrating the eternal contrast between earthly suffering and divine glory. The episode further delves into the profound symbolism of our Lord's Holy Face as revealed to Sister Mary of St. Peter. This devotion is portrayed as a spiritual weapon against the adversaries of the Church, emphasizing the strength gained from embracing the divine presence even amidst worldly challenges. Additionally, we honor the Assumption of Our Blessed Mother, recognizing her as a beacon of grace and a refuge for believers in times of spiritual warfare. Her Immaculate Heart and radiant face are assurances of her maternal protection in all our battles.

    Feast of St Elias

    "If the Lord is God, serve Him" The Prophet St Elias is Father of the Carmelite Order.  On Mount Carmel, the People of Israel were shown the power of Almighty God as St Elias called down fire from heaven demonstrating the falsity of the idol worshippers. The strong influences of the pagan and demonic forces at work in our own time try to pull us away from the path of the Gospel so each day a decision has to be made: "If the Lord is God, serve Him"

    Every hair on your head has been counted

    When things are looking bad and we are tempted to be anxious or lose our peace, the Lord reminds us that He knows us better than we know ourselves and that He cares for every aspect of our lives.  We are called to trust, not pretending that nothing is wrong, but trusting in our God who we know is all-powerful, and all-loving.

    You did not choose me, I chose you

    It is God who gives us the grace to do good and to overcome evil.  We must not try to rely on our own strength or allow ourselves to become downhearted because of our failings.
