THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD – THURSDAY 14TH MAY

DEACON GEORGE’S HOMILY FOR SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
From the very beginning of time there has existed a threefold relationship, whom we know as the Trinity – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But now, there exists an additional threefold relationship – the Father, the Son, and YOU! This is because the third person of that relationship, the Holy Spirit, now lives in YOU. And because, the Holy Spirit is living in us, we are each in a threefold relationship with the Father and the Son. This relationship exists, and remains so, because of our Baptism, and Pentecost, and because we keep his commandments – love God and love our neighbour. But what is the purpose, of having this personal threefold relationship? It is because, Jesus does not want us to struggle through life on our own. He wants each one of us to have life to the full…..

DEACON GEORGE’S HOMILY FOR THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER

Our Lord had twelve Apostles, seventy- two disciples, and many other followers, who accompanied him on his missionary journeys.  They came with him to Jerusalem, and witnessed the sad, and to them, the fatal events on Good Friday.  However, today we have a beautiful account, of an event that happened on the first Easter Sunday.  Now two of the disciples, Cleopas and his friend, having, given up all hope, were now returning home, depressed and sad.  They must have found it hard to understand how Jesus, who had worked so many miracles, and had even raised the dead to life, could allow his enemies to put him to death.  They had no doubt as to who were responsible for the death of Jesus.  But sadly, they had the Jewish idea of the Messiah, a Messiah who would give Israel a new earthly kingdom.  And now, because he had been crucified, they had lost all hope.  They were now mourning, not only the death of Jesus, but the death of their relationship with him…..

FR HUGH’S HOMILY FOR SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER 2026

When Jesus appears to the apostles after the resurrection, he wants to share three things with them.  The second two are bound together as they are central to his Church.  The first is peace.  This is the very first thing he comes to impart, surely then the most important to him.  If we look at the history of the human church we may wonder how we drifted so far from it on many occasions.  How Christians can still be exhorting each other to warfare.  Pope Leo as the church’s leader reminded us of this on Easter Day when he spoke to the whole world.  “The power with which Christ rose is entirely nonviolent. It is like that of a grain of wheat which, having rotted in the earth, grows, breaks through the clouds, sprouts, and becomes a golden ear of wheat. It is even more like that of a human heart which, wounded by an offense, rejects the instinct for revenge and, filled with compassion, prays for the one who has committed the offense.”

Fr Hugh’s Homily for Palm Sunday 2026

Let’s throw our minds back to the very beginning of Jesus’ teaching.  Remember in the Sermon on the Mount, one of the most testing things he says is ‘love your enemies.’  Today in the most awful circumstances we see Jesus putting this into effect.  Who are these enemies?  Sadly even his friends were among them….

DEACON GEORGE’S HOMILY FOR SECOND SUNDAY IN LENT

Jesus often went up a mountain to be alone, to pray and converse with his Father.  And today was no different.  Now, a week earlier, Jesus had asked Peter, “Who do you say I am?  Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  So, this time, Jesus decides to take with him, Peter, James and John, his closest disciples, and go up the mountain.  Whilst on the mountain top, Jesus receives an answer, and a response to his prayer.  Jesus is transformed, his appearance changes and his garments shine with heavenly brightness.  His face does not belong to this world but is like that of the world to come.  The disciples are having a glimpse of the glorified Christ.  This glory denotes the presence of heavenly royalty and the Kingdom of God is in the midst of his people.  Moses and Elijah now appear and they talk with Jesus…..
