Jesus continues to describe the kingdom of heaven comparing it to a hidden treasure in a field, a fine pearl and a net full of fish.  Fr. John shares how these comparisons help us understand better how we are called to live our lives as disciples and find Christ---the most perfect treasure above all else.

This Sunday Jesus compares the kingdom to a field of wheat and weeds in addition to a mustard shrub.  Not expected ways to understand the kingdom but Jesus uses simple yet powerful ways to describe what really is indescribable.  Listen to find out more and see what these parables mean to us today!!

The gospel this weekend reminds us to be generous in sharing the Good News while also being rich and good soil first and foremost to welcome Christ in our hearts.  This is how we can then become faithful disciples.

This weekend we see through Christ the Father's love.  Christ walks with us so that we can walk with those who are tired, burdened and weary.  How am I showing the Father's love in my daily life?  Listen to find out more!!

Jesus calls us to place him above everything else---even family.  He also calls us to offer hospitality and welcome to everyone.  Two powerful ways to be a disciple but also hard for us to do each day.  Listen to find out how we can do this better one step at a time!!

Jesus calls us not to be afraid to share the Good News!!  We are worth more than two sparrows and God the Father knows every hair on our heads.  We need to trust the Lord and have courage to share the Gospel.  How can we have the courage to do this today? Listen and find out!

Happy Father's Day weekend to everyone!!  In the gospel this weekend Jesus sends the Apostles to share the Good News.  The harvest is plentiful but labourers are few.  Jesus calls each of us by name to help build the kingdom.  How do we do this the best in our world today?  Listen to find out!!

This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ---CORPUS CHRISTI Sunday.  Do we really know what a grace and gift the Eucharist is for us?  Jesus himself comes to dwell in us in this new and eternal covenant that transforms our lives.  Will we let him do that?

This weekend we celebrate Trinity Sunday in which we reflect on God as Father, Son and Spirit.  It is not only a time to deepen our understanding of God, but to understand ourselves better too.  The more we know God the more we become who God has made us to be.

What does it mean to form disciples?  What does it mean to be a disciple?  Jesus in the gospel sends the Apostles and us on a mission to all the nations.  Do we even know this?  What does this mean in practical terms?  Are we courageous enough to try? Listen to find out more!
