This episode opens the sacred season of Lent by recounting Christ’s forty days in the desert, where he fasted, prayed, and endured three temptations.

It explains the symbolic meaning of forty and how the three temptations represent the enemies of the soul—the flesh, the world, and the Devil—and shows Christ’s faithful responses to each.

The sermon urges the faithful to practice prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as means of purification and cooperation with grace, warning against seeking human praise or presuming on mercy.

Listeners are invited to enter the desert with Christ, repent, be transformed, and rise with him at Easter, with a final invocation of confidence in the Blessed Virgin’s intercession.

This sermon invites us to gaze upon the Holy Face of Jesus, to recognise his suffering and respond with reparation born of love.

It points to St. Joseph as the first adorer and protector of Christ, urging small acts of devotion—holy hours, reverent Mass attendance, patient sacrifices—as ways to console Christ and help heal his wounds.

Keeping our eyes on the face of Christ gives strength in trials and calls us to let his wounded mercy transform our hearts until we behold him face to face.

This episode reflects on the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus, linking His circumcision and naming to his divine mission as Saviour and the Church's ancient reverence for His Name.

This episode delves into the extraordinary life of St. Lawrence, one of Rome’s revered deacons, who exemplified the Church's mission by prioritizing the poor and needy.

Explore the spiritual paradox articulated by St. Paul—through giving, we receive. Understand the transformative power of self-denial and how dying to self leads to love, growth, and grace.

Join us to gain deeper insights from Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalene and St. Teresa of Avila, inspiring us to be generous and service-oriented, placing God at the core of our lives, just as St. Lawrence did unto martyrdom.

In this episode, we reflect on the significance of the Transfiguration and its impact on the faith of Peter, James, and John, as they witnessed the divine glory of Christ on the mountain.

"If the Lord is God, serve Him"

The Prophet St Elias is Father of the Carmelite Order. On Mount Carmel, the People of Israel were shown the power of Almighty God as St Elias called down fire from heaven demonstrating the falsity of the idol worshippers.

The strong influences of the pagan and demonic forces at work in our own time try to pull us away from the path of the Gospel so each day a decision has to be made: "If the Lord is God, serve Him"

When things are looking bad and we are tempted to be anxious or lose our peace, the Lord reminds us that He knows us better than we know ourselves and that He cares for every aspect of our lives. We are called to trust, not pretending that nothing is wrong, but trusting in our God who we know is all-powerful, and all-loving.
