TUESDAYS WITH TERESA: Making a difference
Our weekend reading from the prophet Isaiah (61:1-2, 10-11) serves as a reminder of who we are anointed to be, and what it means to be wrapped with the cloak of integrity.
TUESDAYS WITH TERESA: Be on your guard, stay awake
Welcome to December, to Advent and the Year of Mark, who is reminding us to be ever watchful for God in our lives.
TUESDAYS WITH TERESA: New beginnings

As I listened to the reading from the Book of Wisdom (6:12-16) at Mass on Sunday night, it caused me to reflect on the many experiences of my previous week, and the week we are now in.
TUESDAYS WITH TERESA: The month of the Holy Souls
Here we are at the beginning of November, celebrating All Saints Day and All Souls Day starting the month of the Holy Souls. Many of us automatically turn our thoughts to our forebears, the people of faith who have walked beside us, held us, taught us, nurtured us, influenced us, inspired us and shared and shaped our lives.
TUESDAYS WITH TERESA: Children of God

TUESDAYS WITH TERESA: You are a mission!
Once again Sunday night has arrived and I have returned home from Mass to take up a place at my desk to craft yet another message. The intention of these weekly messages is an attempt to keep the readers, and hopefully our diocesan community, up to date with what is happening in our diocese, in the wider church and in the local community.
