@BrentwoodRC Peter took his eyes off Jesus for fear of sinking. Life’s like us on a small boat on the sea of secularism: mocking religion, seeking to end traditional marriage.
Getting out of our boat to walk with Jesus, Storms can become a gentle breeze. https://t.co/Ue7f45myBM

It’s hard to have compassion when caught up in our own worries. Jesus moved from His own sadness to see the need of the crowds. We witness to the Good News, when we nourish each other in all ways, including physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually https://t.co/Ue7f45myBM

King Solomon prayed for wisdom ‘to discern good from evil’. Discerning what ‘loving’ really means you’ll find ‘hidden treasure’ in these weekly Scripture reflections and in each other. Sharing this you sow ‘seeds’ of love in the hearts and mind of others. https://t.co/Ue7f45myBM

@BrentwoodRC The Gospel raises questions re our ability ‘to listen’. We can hear criticism in a question or comment which puts us at odds. Listening with our hearts as Jesus commanded us to do, we’re enabled to follow Him:“...listen, anyone who has ears”. https://t.co/Ue7f45myBM

@BrentwoodRC Stony ground is being too engrossed in other things,like TV, working and so on. Thorny ground is disengaging, diverting attention. All effectively not being ‘present’ to our beloved. We’re called to be fertile ground, real attentive listening. https://t.co/Ue7f45myBM

@BrentwoodRC ‘yokes’ keep oxen together carrying a heavy load or ploughing. We chose to be ‘yoked’ together ‘till death us do part’. Life can lower our spirits and intimacy levels. Jesus says: “Stay ‘yoked’ to me, I will help you, however heavy the load.” https://t.co/Ue7f45myBM

@BrentwoodRC ‘yokes’ keep oxen together carrying a heavy load or ploughing. When marrying we chose to be ‘yoked’ together ‘till death us do part’. Life can lower our spirits creating a barrier to intimacy. Jesus says: “Stay ‘yoked’ to me, I will help you, however heavy the load.”

Peter the denier and Paul, the persecutor both familiar with failure, were overwhelmed by Jesus’ love and gave their lives. Let’s rejoice in loving as Jesus did, laying down our lives for each other. Our lives might be the only Bible people will ever read. https://t.co/Ue7f45myBM

How easy to become paranoid, to wonder what others might be saying about us. This can be present in and outside our relationship; at its core is fear! Jesus continually exhorted the Twelve, “do not be afraid…every hair on your head has been counted”. https://t.co/Ue7f45myBM

Priests offer sacrifice. Jesus as a Priest, sacrificed Himself on the Cross. Baptism made us ‘sharers’ in Christ’s Priesthood. At Mass, we join in His sacrifice, and pray for ourselves and others. So, ‘serve the Lord with gladness’, counting our blessings. https://t.co/Ue7f45myBM

Without food we die! We promised to nourish ‘US’, to bring life to our marriage. We feed each other countless ways: tender lovemaking, talking, listening, supporting and encouraging, particularly in times of doubt and uncertainty. Ways we’ll grow and shine https://t.co/Ue7f45myBM
