Today, on Easter Sunday it is my turn as Two Minute Homilist, so I thought a change of pectoral cross would appropriately reflect this most holy day. Some of you will recognise this as belonging to the late Archbishop John Bathersby, who kindly passed it on to me. In the Acts of the Apostles today, we hear Peter say that ‘those with me can witness to everything Jesus did’. The word witness appears multiple times in today’s Gospel, but what does it mean to witness? That is the Easter question. “L

In this second instalment of my Golden Jubilee reflection series, I talk about my first five years spent in parishes and how, despite many challenges, that period of time provided me with the opportunity to put down roots in the priesthood before embarking on further study in Rome. I delve into the complexities of being a young priest, learning one’s limitations, recognising the capacity of which is appropriate for a priest, and I also take a moment to reflect on the value of effective communica

In this eighth episode of my Golden Jubilee Reflections, I was asked what aspects of the Church give me hope and joy for the future. I talk about my experience of the journey over the last 50 years - the spirit at work, the privilege of the ordained ministry, the faith of the people, Pope Francis’ election, the Plenary Council, and through it all a deep sub-theme of peace. | Archbishop Mark Coleridge

We return to “normal time” in the Church’s liturgical calendar, but the readings remain as rich as ever, as does the reflection from this week’s two minute homilist, the Surfer’s Paradise parish’s Fr Paul Kelly: “We are God’s people, daughters and sons of God, not because we have earned it, not because we deserve it. Not because we are worthy in ourselves, but simply because God loves us. It is God, overflowing with generous love, who calls us to Himself.” (Sunday's readings available: https://u

As the years have unfolded, I’ve become more and more dependent on prayer – to me it is like breathing. In this episode of my Golden Jubilee reflections, I talk about what has sustained me through difficult times, the role prayer plays in the lives of priests, how I liken prayer to charging my iPhone, and the importance of practicing the mystery of the Lord’s death and resurrection in all aspects of life; so that we can help others do the same. | Archbishop Mark Coleridge

It is a pleasure to welcome back Deacon Andrew O'Brien to the role of Two-Minute Homilist, and today, on Palm Sunday, Deacon Andrew shares a profound reflection on the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, guiding us through the final days of Jesus' life and inviting us to walk alongside Him in His ultimate sacrifice and triumph. "Jesus says so little as he enters His trial and crucifixion. We are called to journey with Jesus in His suffering which He suffers for us. We too need say little but rathe
