We live in a time when many hearts tremble with uncertainty. The noise of the world is loud, and its doubts echo across every continent. People question truth itself, they question the meaning of life, and often they question the very existence of God. Yet amid all this restlessness, one thing has not changed. The […]
A Reflection on the Tridentine Mass and the Ancient Eastern Liturgies
I write as a priest who reveres the Apostolic Faith and who believes that worship is the surest testimony of what the Church teaches and loves. I have offered the holy mysteries within sanctuaries where the air is heavy with incense and the choir answers heaven with measured chant. I have moved with deliberate economy […]
Reflection on St. Luke 11:37-41
(Read St. Luke 11:37-41) In this reading we find ourselves at a Pharisee’s table, where Christ accepts an invitation to dine. Jesus is not there to flatter His host, but instead to reveal the truth that purifies the soul. The Pharisee marvels that the Lord has not observed the customary ritual washing before the meal. […]
Reflection on St. Luke 11:29–32
(Read St. Luke 11:29–32) In this reading, our Lord addresses a people who demand signs, yet fail to recognise the very presence of the One to whom all signs point. The crowds press around Him, not to hear His word or repent, but to be entertained by wonders. Their hearts are hardened by curiosity rather […]
Where Are the Nine?
(Homily on Luke 17:11–19) Our Lord passes “through the midst of Samaria and Galilee” on His way to Jerusalem, and ten lepers stand afar off, crying with one voice, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” Their distance is not only geographical; it manifests the separation imposed by uncleanness, the image of sin which exiles the […]
Some Thoughts on the Use of Social Media and Artificial Intelligence
These days, social media is part of nearly everything we do. It helps us stay in touch, share news, and sometimes even spread a bit of encouragement. Used wisely, it can be a blessing. But it also carries real dangers. The same places where truth and kindness can shine are often filled with pride, anger, […]
The Apostolic Church’s View on Women Preaching
The Holy Church affirms the equal dignity of men and women as persons created in the image and likeness of God. Equality, in this sense, does not entail interchangeability of vocation, but rather a reverent recognition that men and women alike are endowed with gifts, talents, and responsibilities that are to be exercised in mutual […]
Walking With Our Lord Jesus Christ
In every age, the faithful are summoned to walk with Christ through a world that is veiled by shadow. The roar of conflict, the pull of temptation, and the ache of sorrow may persuade the heart that the Gospel’s radiance has dimmed. Yet our Lord declares, “I am the light of the world: he that […]
Reflection on Joel 4:12-21
(Read Joel 4:12-21) The prophet Joel presents a vision both terrible and glorious—a revelation of divine judgment and renewal that compels every generation to reflection. The nations are summoned to the Valley of Decision, where the Lord Himself sits as Judge. It is a scene of awe and trembling—the earth quakes, the heavens darken, and […]
Reflection on St. Luke 11:15-26
(Read St. Luke 11:15-26) The ministry of Jesus Christ often provoked both wonder and hostility. In this passage, His casting out of demons leads some to an accusation that He does so by the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons. Others, unwilling to believe, demand yet another sign from heaven. Their blindness is not […]
