Pentecost Sunday

Brother John Eastertide / Homily / Solemnity / Sunday 05/06/2022 17/06/2022

Pentecost Sunday, 5th June 2022 Today completes the Pascal Mystery: the great reversal of our fortunes brought about by Christ: the undoing of the devil’s work one might say, begun in that garden so long ago when fallen humanity is sent out to labour in the world without ultimate success; …

The Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth

Brother John Eastertide / Feast / Homily 31/05/2022 17/06/2022

The Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, 30th May 2022 Pope Francis is very keen on personal encounter and especially on looking someone in the eye: the eyes have it, one might say, for there we read one another’s thoughts and learn to love. We transmit more than we know so …

Sixth Sunday of Eastertide

Brother John Eastertide / Homily / Sunday 29/05/2022 17/06/2022

Eastertide Sunday 6C, 29th may 2022 To live in the world of nature as an ecologist is to live in a  world of wounds – to probably misquote Aldo Leopold, one of the pioneering ecologists of the early 20th century. As an ecologist one sees beauty, but also destruction, all …

The Ascension of the Lord

Brother John Eastertide / Homily / Solemnity 26/05/2022 17/06/2022

Ascension Day, 26th May 2022 Luke seems to use time in a very plastic way here, moulding it to suit his purposes, placing the Ascension on Easter Day at the end of his gospel account of Jesus’ time with his disciples, and then placing it also forty days later at …

Fifth Sunday of Eastertide

Brother John Eastertide / Homily / Sunday 15/05/2022 17/06/2022

Eastertide Sunday 5C, 15th May 2022 Consulting with others before acting is always a wise thing to do. Sometimes this involves direct communication with another, sometimes that more indirect communication we call lectio – the reading of the scriptures, or the consulting with the Fathers, that is: the tradition of …

Fourth Sunday of Eastertide

Brother John Eastertide / Homily / Sunday 08/05/2022 17/06/2022

Eastertide Sunday 4C, 8th May 2022 When to stay; when to go? Paul and Barnabas are following closely in the footsteps of Christ – in the same dynamic of learning when to speak; when not to speak; what to say, what not to say, and its largely unscripted, though Paul …

English Martyrs

Brother John Eastertide / Homily / Memoria 04/05/2022 18/06/2022

English Martyrs, 4th May 2022 We are not too sure these days what to make of this memorial to the English martyrs – not too sure what it is to be English any more – or to be a martyr. Surely we’ve moved away from such reflective and emotive terminology. …

Saints Philip and James

Brother John Eastertide / Feast / Homily 03/05/2022 18/06/2022

Saints Philip and James, 3rd May 2022 Paul is writing against a dualistic mindset among the Corinthians which over- emphasises the spiritual against the physical. No, the Resurrection of the body of Christ really happened; it’s, in a way, a complement or logical working out of the fact of incarnation …

Third Sunday of Eastertide

Brother John Eastertide / Homily / Sunday 01/05/2022 03/05/2022

Eastertide Sunday 3C, 1st May 2022 Jesus has forgiven Peter . The whole gospel is summed up in this story. Jesus comes for the forgiveness of sins. We touched on the unpopularity of the concept of sin on Friday, on the feast of Catherine of Siena and how at a …

St Catherine of Siena

Brother John Eastertide / Feast / Homily 29/04/2022 03/05/2022

St Catherine of Siena, 29th April 2022 We’ve attended a series of funerals recently, with one more to come today. And each was accompanied by a moving and marvellous eulogy, but also, in at least two cases, a real aversion to the full Christian Script where Christ’s sacrifice obtains for …
