While this Sunday’s Gospel challenges us to be wary of the kind of position and power the world applauds, we have to cultivate the power that comes from being truly centred in God, from being in touch with God’s Spirit planted deep within our hearts. It will be from that place that we will grow into genuine and prophetic witnesses to Jesus and his message, writes Christian Brother Julian McDonald..

This Sunday’s readings are a call to us to trust in a God who loves and cares for us in all the circumstances of life and a call, too, to live with integrity, come what may, writes Christian Brother Julian McDonald..

On this Sunday’s celebration of the Body and Blood of Christ, we are invited to reflect on the place of Eucharist in our lives, giving attention to what we are about when we “go to Mass”, and how that relates to everything we do as the rest of our week unfolds, writes Christian Brother Julian McDonald.

Trinity Sunday invites us to celebrate the mystery of Divine love let loose in our lives, our world, human history and all of creation. Moreover, let’s not forget that one of the best and closest experiences of Divine love is reflected to us through the struggles of human love, and that the arms of God embrace us through the human arms and hearts that hold and nurture us, writes Christian Brother Julian McDonald.

Pentecost also invites us to take the risk of loving and to find strength in our broken places, individually and as communities, always aware that we, too, have God’s Spirit to guide us, writes Christian Brother Julian McDonald.
