- Good Friday 6 Apr 2012

- Holy Thursday - Chrism Mass 5 Apr 2012
Once again we priests and bishops of the Sydney Archdiocese gather for the Mass of Oils, the oils which are one more human symbol like bread, wine and water used as a sign and an instrument of God's activity among us.

- Palm Sunday 1 Apr 2012
With Our Lord's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, we have already received our good news for the week.

- Fifth Sunday of Lent 25 Mar 2012
This morning I want to follow the readings and meditate on the covenant or pact God made and continues to make with a chosen limited section of mankind.

- Third Sunday of Lent 11 Mar 2012
The Ten Commandments provide the bedrock of our Western way of life.

- Transfiguration - Second Sunday of Lent 4 Mar 2012
