Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Posted:
The Pharisees and Herodians were normally antagonistic towards one another but for different reasons they both wanted to trap Jesus.
Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Posted:
The late Enda Lyons described Jesus as a self-portrait by God. Who could describe God better than the second person of the Trinity?
Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

St Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower, is remembered on 1 October.
