‘The dishonest steward’

Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C)

This parable does not call us to imitate the steward’s dishonesty but his astuteness. He quickly grasps how desperate his situation is and immediately seeks a solution. Fr Adrian Graffy reflects.

‘God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son’

Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross

Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, the cross, the traditional instrument of torture and death in the Roman empire, is transformed into the symbol of new life, a symbol of triumph and exaltation. Fr Adrian Graffy reflects.

‘Many will try to enter and will not succeed’

Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C)

‘I have come to bring fire to the earth’

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C)

Jesus’ blunt and challenging language in this reading conveys a profound truth, for the consequence of his preaching will be division, even within families. Fr Adrian Graffy reflects.
