Are feelings becoming more important than truth in our culture?

In this homily, Fr Sam explores the growing dominance of "I feel" statements and the danger of replacing truth with personal comfort. Reflecting on the cost of true discipleship, Fr Sam draws from Carl Trueman, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Jesus’ sending of the 72 disciples to emphasize that real faith often challenges rather than comforts. Discover how uniting our struggles with Christ’s cross transforms pain into profound joy.

Can we truly know God without prayer? In this homily, Fr Sam reflects on the inspiring examples of Saints Peter and Paul, two extraordinary yet deeply human figures whose lives show the power of openness to God. Peter, flawed yet faithful, reminds us of the transformative power of prayer, while Paul demonstrates how a true encounter with Jesus compels us into mission. Discover how prayer leads us from merely following religious rules to experiencing life-changing love, and how mission moves us from darkness into the joy of sharing God’s love.

Is your faith something you know, or Someone you’ve met?

In this homily, Fr Sam reflects on the deep ache many Catholics carry: how do we bring our children, friends, or loved ones back to the Church? He shares his own story of encountering Jesus in the Eucharist as a teenage, and how that encounter changed everything. This powerful reflection moves beyond rituals and rules, to the heart of our Catholic life: the relationship with the living Christ, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.

Faith isn’t passed on through obligation, but through encounter. And the Eucharist is that encounter.
