The journey through the wilderness leads us to a single, sacred destination: the Father’s table. In this final instalment of our Lent series, Fr Michael Tran welcomes us to the source and summit of our faith, the Holy Eucharist. Drawing on the imagery of the Prodigal Son, Fr Michael explores how every Mass is a homecoming feast prepared by a Father who has been watching the horizon for our return. Whether you have been away for years or have never left, come and rediscover the true presence of Jesus in the Bread of Life.

Failure is not the end of the story; it is often the place where we truly encounter God. When we stumble on our Lenten journey, our instinct is to hide, yet Christ is waiting for us by the shore. As we go along this Lenten journey, we are called to bring our weaknesses to the one who washes them away. Stay a while and listen as Fr Michael explores the Sacrament of Penance and the power of God's forgiveness in this sixth video of the Lent series.

The Word of God is a lamp for our feet and a light for our path. It is the living landmark that guides us through the mountains, gullies and deserts of our spiritual journey.

Stay a while and listen as Fr Michael explores the "Landmarks of Grace" in this fifth video of the Lent series.

Two-Minute Homily by Fr Isaac Falzon for the Fourth Sunday of Lent 2026. "That’s what Lent prepares us for, to cut through everything which keeps us from God. So we can run into His arms, renewed and whole."

One of the greatest lies we can believe is that we are alone in our struggles. But the Christian life was never meant to be a solo expedition. As we continue our Lenten journey, Fr Michael Tran explores the power of community. Join us for this fourth installment as we discover why Christ gave us a Church, why we need each other to find our way home and how we carry one another toward the promise of Easter.

Two-Minute Homily by Fr David Pascoe for the Third Sunday of Lent 2026. "For all of us, this encounter can remind us that understanding Jesus often begins in the ordinary, a conversation, a moment of honesty, a shared need."

Prayer is the central pillar holding up the Christian life. It is our response to God's invitation into relationship with Him. As we go along this Lenten journey, we are called to grow ever closer to God through prayer. Stay a while and pray as Fr Michael explores Catholic prayer in this third video of the Lent series.

Two-Minute Homily by Dcn Paul Jensen for the Second Sunday of Lent 2026. "And when such glimpses are given on a mountaintop in Judea or in a Sunday mass, cherish it. But don't even try to capture it, for it's a fleeting, blessed gift of revelation."

Over the course of our life we take on burdens that can weigh us down and bring our spiritual life to a standstill. Lent is a time to let these burdens go. With the help of God, we can lay down our burdens and make room to follow our true destiny. Follow Fr Michael in this second video of the Lent series as he reveals how Christ can help us let go.
