Fr. John shares about the call of being a true missionary disciple relying on God's grace and providence to share the Good News.  When we seek to fulfill our baptismal call, who do we rely on?  On God or on ourselves?  Listen and find out more!

Christ's power in our lives depends on our openness to Him---the more we draw Him into our lives the more He can heal, transform and strengthen us.  Let us seek ways to open our hearts to Jesus who seeks to fill us with grace, light and hope.  May we also be instruments of Good News so that others may open their lives to our Lord and Saviour!!

Despite the storms that we heard about last Sunday, we need to trust in the Lord.  This weekend we are facing another storm at the death of a loved one and how Jesus brings us life!!  In this miracle we are reminded that not even death can limit Christ's power and love for us.  In times of trouble, we call upon the Lord.  May we be Christ for those around us in need and in storms---offering them hope and love.

What do we do when we are in the midst of the storms of life?  What happens if we feel trapped, overwhelmed and don't know what to do?  We need to turn to Christ who gives us calm in our hearts in the midst of chaos, suffering and darkness.  Jesus is our light, rock, foundation and anchor.  He will always take care of us---how can we be Christ for others during challenging times?

What does the Kingdom of God look like?  How does the kingdom grow?  How can we help build the kingdom that is filled with peace, joy, love and hope in our world so torn apart with hatred, suffering and division?  The Lord will guide us with the help of the gospel this weekend.  

As we celebrate the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ we embrace the gift of the Eucharist in our lives.  Fr. John shares his personal experiences of this powerful feast when he was a child and in Poland.  Jesus is the TRUE BREAD from heaven.  How can we celebrate and live the Eucharist today?

As we celebrate Trinity Sunday, we are called to be like God, as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  We are called to be a community of love, willing to serve and sacrifice for one another.  How does this translate in our lives today?  Listen and find out!!

Come Holy Spirit!!  This weekend we conclude the Easter season with the descent of the Holy Spirit who guides, helps and empowers us to be a light of the Gospel in the world today.  More than ever, we need to be signs of hope for the world.  How can we do that in our own daily lives?

This Sunday we celebrate the Ascension----Jesus takes his rightful place in heaven and leaves the apostles gazing in the sky.  The Ascension is a chance for us not to watch but to act and follow the command of Jesus to proclaim the Good News.  How can we do this in the midst of the pandemic?  Listen and find out.

We are all chosen by Christ to live the Good News!!  The only way that can happen in our lives is by allowing him to abide in us.  It is a choice we make each and every day.  By following His commands our joy is complete.  Find out how that can happen for us in our journey of faith.
