Parable of the wicked tenants             Today’s readings talk about how much God has done for us and our failure to correspond to his love.

Parable of the two sons             Last Sunday, today and next Sunday we have the parables of the vineyard. Israel is described in the Old Testament as the vineyard of the Lord.

Labourers in the vineyard             We can relate to this parable in South Africa. So many people looking for work.

Our Lady of Sorrows             Standing at the foot of the Cross is our mother. She is standing, not crying or fainting; she is there supporting her son with her presence.

Fraternal correction              Today Jesus talks to us in the Gospel about fraternal correction. We are all brothers and sisters in the faith and we need to help each other.

Last week Peter called Jesus the Christ, the anointed one; today he tries to discourage him from suffering and dying on the cross. Last w…
Upon this rock             Jesus today in the Gospel is asking questions to his apostles: What do people say about me? There was a lot of gossip about who Jesus was. The apostles were keen to tell him all the conspiracy theories going around. Then Jesus confronted them asking a direct question: Who…
Canaanite woman             Today we see in the Gospel a pagan woman getting from Jesus what she wanted. Even though she wasn’t a Jew, she managed a miracle from the Lord. She teaches us how to pray, how to ask and how to get what we need. This simple woman shows us how to approach Jesus. She gives…
