11th Sunday in Ordinary Time - We return to the rhythm of our readings of Ordinary Time after a series of seasons and feasts. Today is about God choosing people: we hear how Jesus chooses twelve men to reflect the twelve tribes of Israel.

15th Sunday in Ordinary Time  - Sea Sunday - Both first reading and Gospel today invite us to be “down to earth” about the Law of God. It’s very easy to become an “expert in religion” - knowing all the right answers, remembering all the right quotes.

PENTECOST SUNDAY - We arrive at the fiftieth day ‑ the completion of the Easter Season, and the completion of the Paschal Mystery: the Lord has died, is risen, has ascended to heaven and now gives birth to his Church.

Fifth Sunday of Lent - There is a logical development in the readings this Sunday: in the Old Testa­ment, God asks us to look forward to the "new deed he will do", when he will put "water in the wilderness"; we then see the new deed......
