What if the holiest thing you could do… was nothing at all?

In this homily, Fr Sam reflects on the virtue of hospitality through the lens of Abraham, Mary, and Martha. With insight from Scripture and a café conversation, he reveals that holiness begins not with action, but with presence — a heart ready to receive God in silence. Drawing on the wisdom of the saints and the call to Eucharistic Adoration, Fr Sam invites us to “waste time with God” in order to bear real spiritual fruit.

Are we chasing artificial light while real joy is right outside our door?

In this homily, Fr Sam reflects on the parable of the Good Samaritan through a surprising lens. Instead of casting us as the hero, Jesus flips the story to reveal how we are the wounded, left in the dark and searching for something real. Fr Sam draws connections between the artificial light of social media and materialism, and the true healing light of Christ.

This week, we’re challenged to stop looking to influencers and illusions for fulfillment, and instead open our hearts to the One who truly sees us. When all the hype fades, only the light of His love remains.

Reflecting on the cost of true discipleship, Fr Sam draws from Carl Trueman, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Jesus’ sending of the 72 disciples to emphasize that real faith often challenges rather than comforts.
