‘My God, my God, why have you deserted me?’

Passion (Palm) Sunday (Year A)

‘I am the resurrection and the life’

Fifth Sunday of Lent Year A

Just as the healing of the man born blind was a ‘work of God’, inviting faith, similarly the raising of Lazarus in this week’s reading shows the ‘glory of God’ and strengthens faith. Fr Adrian Graffy reflects.

Fourth Sunday of Lent Year A

‘You must not put the Lord your God to the test’

First Sunday of Lent, Year A

In this reading we see Jesus submit to the challenge of evil. He is tempted, as through his humanity he has the same power of choice that we have, but does not succumb. Fr Adrian Graffy reflects.

‘Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you’

Seventh Sunday of the Year A

In this reading Jesus presents us with a stern challenge: to love our enemies and endure without retaliating when evil is done to us. We have to make God’s compassion and love the measure of our actions. Fr Adrian Graffy reflects.

‘I have come not to abolish but to complete them’

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)

Having challenged the inadequate ‘virtue’ of the scribes and Pharisees, Jesus shows how his teaching deepens the scriptural tradition of Jewish faith. Fr Adrian Graffy reflects.
