False Prophets Today
Tuesday Dec 19, 2023
Tuesday Dec 19, 2023
This week we discuss Flase Prophets today with the Australia and New Zealand Producer for EWTN, Salwa Elias. Often known as 'Mumma Salwa' she warns us of the traps and tricks that are often set up for people by False Prophets, who lead away from Christ. She will equip you with the tools, not to be distracted by the world and many people within it, and focus of Jesus Christ, rather than the next conspiracy Guru online.

Making Sense of Suffering
Tuesday Sep 19, 2023
Tuesday Sep 19, 2023
This week we reflect on the very uncomfortable topic of suffering with Fr John Flader, as he brings to our attention the ways in which we can make sense of our suffering, and why God allows suffering in this world. Fr Flader draws much of his wisdom from his newly released book: The Final Exam
He then continues to provide us with a solid foundation of 3 practical tools for this week to take on suffering in our day to day life, regardless if they are minor issues at work to great suffering we may be going through. These tools will help you take up your cross and follow Jesus Christ.
