The Warm Up - Sunday July 20, 2025

In the gospel this weekend we hear the story of Martha and Mary who host Jesus and the disciples at their home.  Martha is busy and distracted with tasks and Mary is at the feet of Jesus listening to Him.  This gospel reminds us that we are called to push away the many distractions that we have in our lives and be connected to Christ and one another.

The Warm Up - July 13, 2025

The story of the Good Samaritan teaches us that to show mercy means to embrace the inconvenience of the Gospel with radical generosity.  God's love helps us see this as a true way to encounter and embrace our neighbours---that is---everyone because they are our brothers and sisters!

The Warm Up - Sunday June 29, 2025

This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul.  These two great apostles teach us how to be faithful and loving disciples in our world today.  Their presence and grace lives on in the Church and should in each one of us.

The Warm Up - Sunday June 22, 2025

As we celebrate the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, we remember that at Mass we received the Risen Lord himself---so that we can share His love, hope, joy and peace with the world.  The Lord magnifies the ordinary and makes things extraordinary.  Let us trust in Him!!

The Warm Up - Sunday June 15, 2025

This Sunday we celebrate Trinity Sunday.  The heart of God is love.  The Father, Son and Holy Spirit radiates love that goes beyond themselves as a community of grace.  We are made in the image and likeness of God---we too are called to be a community of love and light.  How can that happen?  God invites us into His divine life---will we say YES?

The Warm Up - Sunday June 8, 2025

Come Holy Spirit!!  This weekend we celebrate Pentecost Sunday in which we embrace the breath of the Holy Spirit  having the courage and grace to bring healing, hope and eternal life!!  The Church does not have a mission, it is mission!!  May we be true missionaries in our world today.

The Warm Up - Sunday June 1, 2025

This weekend we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord---we celebrate Christ Risen and are commissioned to be true witnesses in our world today.  How can we share the Gospel in our world that can change the lives of people?  Only together as faith communities willing to serve and sacrifice for others.  COME HOLY SPIRIT!

The Warm Up - Sunday May 11, 2025

Jesus is the Good Shepherd who guides us---the sheep.  As we celebrate the Easter season we rejoice in the gift of the resurrection and as faithful sheep, turn down the noise around us and tune into the voice of Christ.  We do this so we can be faithful disciples sharing the JOY OF THE GOSPEL!!

The Warm Up - Sunday May 4, 2025

As we celebrate Easter and the Resurrection---Jesus appears for the third time to the disciples showing them the reality that He is alive!!  What does Easter mean for us and do we find the Risen Lord in our daily life?  We need to fall in love with Him and follow Him sharing the joy of eternal life that we can experience even now!!

The Warm Up - Good Friday April 18, 2025

Today we celebrate Christ's death on the cross for our salvation.  We come to hear the Passion according to John, adore the cross of salvation and receive Holy Communion at the Solemn Good Friday liturgy.  May this day of prayer and reflection transform us as faithful messengers of the Good News today!!
