OCIA Director Matt Gray, reflects on the readings for the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time

God's calling us to go out there and rescue people and bring them hope.

Renounce the lie that you are a bad person and accept the truth that you are wonderfully made

When we praise the Lord and turn our hearts to Him, we find the courage to keep on walking no matter what is happening.

No matter what it is we are facing, whether it's fear, illness, resentment, addiction,  let the Lord in.

Our help is in the name of the Lord not in the fruits of our labor.

Fr. Michael Madigan speaks on behalf of the Mission Co-op Appeal and the work being done by the St. Patricks Fathers in Africa.

As we follow Christ, we should simply delight in Him

We are called to be Ambassadors for Christ doing what He needs us to do.

As we hold on to Jesus may we have the grace to forgive and to love.

Is there some small step you can take to actually be the answer to your own prayer?

Are we willing to respond positively to the call of God?

is how we live the Gospel a form of teaching to people and how effectively are we doing that?

We encounter God in the brokenness and woundedness.

Jesus shows us the way forward and all we have to do is follow it.

Only Jesus can bring calm to the storm and save us.
