Well explained

I love advent too.

Lots of amazing memories for me at Advent. My parents made this a special time of preparation when my siblings and I were growing up. I have kept some of the same traditions even now. Several years ago now, the choirs of Sant Peter’s compiled a CD( ancient times LOL) of Advent Music. I play it each Advent.

"The world will end…Jesus will return as judge. Live like it was the last day of our life…focus on what will last and not what will pass. Pray for an awareness of our own mortality…our end will be the beginning of something much better…and never ends."

You are absolutely right! By the time Christmas comes you’re tired of it all and Jesus’s birth is truly not the centre point. With some…. Never has or will be. Sad!!

So true. We know our life on earth is limited, but it is still hard to believe we will die.

This was timely. I asked last night for a sign to confirm a signal grace I experienced in Malta eight years ago.

Thanks FJM. Well said.

Good advice

Blessings Jims!! Growing with you. ❤

A very meaningful homily today.

Very good homily

James has an "s" also! It means we get double the amount of work!

I tune in most weeks and have enjoyed and appreciate everything you offer. Your explanations of faith and hope, among many other topics, resonate with me…I admire your thoroughness, your examples and, especially the care you take to fully describe the Christian life. The attention to the names of the sections of our places our of worship are so clear, many people know the names, but perhaps not the purpose or the respectful attention they suggest…that chat was great! The same learning takes place when congregations relearn the items you addressed in your most recent chat…All Saints’Day; it’s relation Hallowe’en and that we are all saints-in-in waiting (being prepared to be with God. I particularly liked the way you led into the explanation…”Grief is inevitable and is the result of love.” Well done, “thou good and faithful servant”!

Thank you.

Happy all Saints and all Souls Days

"Jesus doesn’t ask for much…He asks for everything. His love and our prayer will help us to let go of any obstacle we are holding on to that keeps us from truly following Him. In surrendering everything we gain everything…we can be a blessing to others."

Welcome Bryan!

Another good endeavour that OLGP members are doing to help those in need. Thank you to all those involved, including all those folks who take the time and effort to buy and bring donations to the church so others can benefit. 🙏

A blessing for the food pantry there for those in need and hope it will continue to do well ❤

Very nice. Happy Thanksgiving

Another example of how you keep everyone informed!

Sounds good for the parish.

Well done!

Excellent homily

Agreed. However not all pastors have the same attitude.

"The Lord has put His Spirit on all of us…rather just on some special people at a special time and reason…it is a normative part of what it means to be God’s people. Praying Here I am will unlock the cage of our gifts and will set Him free in our lives."

Prayers, please, for a successful hip surgery this week. Happy to hear there will be a successful registration 😊

Great

I love autumn

"Greatness is measured by the level of humility and service…and not by the authority or perfection. Jesus invited us and provided the environment to learn…a well we be the opportunity and an invitation to others so they can discover His greatness."

Nice

A beautiful man of God!

"Faith comes alive when we are willing to take a stand…and answering fundamental questions will help us to take that stand. That will help building up our own personal relationship with God…and with this alive faith we can be an outpost for His mission."

Good homily

I hope you are keeping well in your own life and Ministry and would like to reassure you that my parents and I are too! Well done again! Best Wishes Ibar Quirke

Could also say please be respectful of the blessed sacrament

Expressed in a very respectful manner.

Perfect message Fr James.😊

"At baptism God is claiming us…He is taking the initiative…sealing us with the gift of the Holy Spirit. If we hear His word we will and must speak…gives way to the word of life. If we know Jesus, we have faith story to tell…share the everlasting life."

Thank you Fr. James. Alpha can be a SLOW however very essential evangelistic process within a parish! May each person who has participated in the Alpha experience pass on the joy of their experience. Besides the main focus of Alpha, it is also a great place to meet, share experiences. and befriend like minded people; those also wishing to extend their spiritual lives. Bless you for all that you do through extending the Alpha experiences to others. 🙋🏼‍♀️🙏😎

Thanks for this video! I'm a pastor in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, on the border with the USA. Next week, I'll be starting my third Alpha course in my parish, San Juan Bosco. I've also noticed that one of the biggest challenges is engaging members from other ministries within the parish. In our previous two Alpha courses, we had around 60 participants. It's a great tool for growing our parish.

Great video and audio quality. The delivery of the message is also great, this is the type of content and savvy individuals we need to get the message into the earshot of this century

Outstanding homily. Fr. James has really been hitting them out of the park lately.

"The heart of the matter is the matter of the heart…it is where the action is. Jesus wants our hearts…and without this everything else is in vain. A daily practice with little steps at a time to keep us in His word…it will help surrendering our hearts."
