Sunday’s Gospel warns against complacency. True discipleship isn’t about comfort, but about opening our eyes and hearts to those in need right at our doorstep.

Jesus reminds us today: you cannot serve both God and wealth. May we use the gifts we have been given with honesty, compassion, and trust in God alone.

This Sunday (14 Sept) we celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, united with our Perpetual Day of Remembrance. The Cross is no symbol of loss, but the ultimate sign of God’s love—love stronger than suffering, love victorious over death.

“Jesus reminds us today that discipleship comes with a cost—yet it also brings freedom. True life is found when we put Christ first.”
