A Celtic Journey with St. John of the Cross
We would like to share with you two beautiful musical reflections in honour of Our Lady and St John of the Cross recorded by Kerrie O’Connor and friends in our Chapel. We vacated the Chapel one afternoon while they did all the hard work!! The first one is available on youtube and the second will be available for the feast of St John of the Cross on 14th December. We hope you will enjoy. https://youtu.be/R2YGDeZ0haE

Sunday Reflection
6th Sunday of Easter 2026
Acts 8:5-8, 14-17
1 Peter 3:15-18
John 14:15-21
The disciples of Jesus must have been in a state of constant confusion! Many of these disciples had left everything to follow the preacher, miracle-worker and had been beginning to feel secure in their trust in Him. As Jesus tried to identify Himself to them they had to adjust the way they perceived him. When He called himself a shepherd, they followed him, when He described himself as the Vine, they felt his life-blood in themselves, when he described himself as the Way, the Truth and the Life their security was assured.
And then, He told them that he would leave them and send them a new ‘presence’. These apostles had to change from the way they had seen Jesus, that is the way the world sees Jesus, (outward seeing of the physical reality) to a new way of seeing him (inner seeing – believing, Faith). Now they would look on him, not with the eyes of the body but with the eyes of the heart.
