The Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost – Sermon by Br Josias

Scripture Readings

In the name of God, the creator, the redeemer and sustainer. Amen!

Working with persons with intellectual disabilities (PWID) has taught me many things, but the values of tolerance and patience are what I have learned to appreciate most. Trust me, it is a difficult yet a fulfilling task to work with PWID. They too can test your patience, but people who pushed my buttons the most were the coaches and the caregivers.

It is not an easy task to tolerate and be patient with people, regardless of their background. However, these values are important for living and working harmoniously with one another.

Reflection for Sunday 13 October 2024 by Br Aelred

Scripture Readings

May the words of my mouth and the meditations of all our hearts be acceptable in Your sight, our strength and our redeemer. Amen.

One of my favourite hymns is: I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto me and rest“. Now this hymn was an immense help as I meditated on the words through my discernment process of joining this beautiful community.

This morning, just like the young man who heard Jesus’ voice saying, “Come and follow me”, that same Jesus and that same voice is saying to each and every one of us, “Come and follow me”.

Homily by Br Luc for October 6, 2024 – Proper 22 B

Scripture Readings

Good morning and blessings from our God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has gathered us together again this morning to feed us through His Word and sacrament.

Our first and second readings today focus us on the main reason that we are gathered here this morning…Faith. We are Christians because we believe in God, an all knowing, all mighty and at the same time a loving, caring God.

However, wherever we turn in our world today, there is pain and suffering, war, hunger, disease, hatred, abuse, murder, corruption, exploitation,…name it, it is present in the world. The question then becomes: Why would the God who created us and who supposedly loves us allow so much suffering as we witness in the world today?
