Failte ( Hello). Greetings to you all on here from Ireland. If are joining me on here , you are welcome. Luke Chapter 6. Starting at verse 20 onwards speaks to us about the Beatitudes, from Jesus sermon or instruction to us commonly referred to as ‘ The Sermon on the Mount’. This passage is […]

“For now we see but a faint reflection of riddles and mysteries as though reflected in a mirror, but one day we will see face-to-face. My understanding is incomplete now, but one day I will understand everything, just as everything about me has been fully understood. Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, […]

Morena whanau, rangimarie ki a koutout katoa. Here we are again on a Wednesday morning with the gospel text to reflect on, Luke 4:38-44 this time. The last three days have seen us follow Jesus through his first sermon at Nazareth and travel up to Capernaum where he is now and was based for a […]

Ahakoa kei tino makariri kei waho, nga mihi mahana e hoa ma o Ihu Karaiti, rangimarie ki a koutou katoa! Warm greetings friends, despite it being freezing outside. May peace be with you all.

Må Gud välsigna er och hålla er i Sin hand. This weeks reading from Matthew 23:27-32 is a serious rant towards the pharisees, not a pleasant read and one that I preferably would like to write off as directed at someone else, since I am, of course, not a pharisee. The pharisees are often talked […]

Ata marie te whanau o Ihu Karaiti, rangimarie ki a koutou katoa. Peace be with you, the family of Christ this morning.

This weeks gospel reflection comes from Matthew 13: 44-46, The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl. Matthew’s biographical account of the life and ministry of Jesus has a particularly strong focus on Jesus as Teacher. A close reading of this gospel will see five clear blocks of teaching starting with the most famous section-Matthew […]

Greetings from Leicester , Today our reading is from Matthew 13. 1-9, and is often entitled ‘the parable of the sower’, however, I wonder if it would be more apt to call it, ‘the parable of the different ground’. I will let you decide! In today’s reading we are presented with a parable by Jesus, […]

Nga mihi nui e hoa ma, rangimarie ki a koutou katoa i te ata nei. Greetings of peace to you all this morning. The gospel text for today comes from Matthew 11:25-27. For the last few days our gospel readings have been of Jesus poking holes in the hypocrisy of many religious and community leaders. […]
