    The Nativity of the Lord
    Dec 23 2025

    The birth of Christ is always seen, because of Holy Scripture and Holy Tradition, as light entering a world in the grip of darkness. Even the circumstances of His show us this. There is really too much to say about the Nativity of the Saviour. Perhaps that is why the Church brings us to celebrate it each year so that we deepen our understanding of and appreciation for God coming to meet us.

  • How to Pray in the Face of a Great Evil

    How to Pray in the Face of a Great Evil
    Dec 19 2025

    This podcast attempts to offer a way in which we as Catholics can pray when 15 people were killed last Sunday on Bondi Beach. Echoing the words of Archbishop Fisher of Sydney, a great evil has visited our nation. Our faith does not explain why it happened apart from recognising that evil exists and will be active until Christ comes again. However, the holy scripture of today's Mass offers how we can pray and even what we can pray for.

    Eternal rest give to all those who were killed, O Lord, and let perpetual life shine upon them. Amen.

  • Gaudete Sunday

    Gaudete Sunday
    Dec 12 2025

    The Collect of this Sunday's Mass places together "solemn worship" and "glad rejoicing". What is this kind of joy that is compatible with solemn worship?
