-
'Render Unto God' - 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
Asked whether it is lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, Jesus's reply has often been misinterpreted as establishing a separation between religion and politics. In this sermon, we explore what Jesus really meant, discovering that while Caesar's image is stamped on a coin, every human being bears the...
-
'A Feast Forfeited' - 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
In the Parable of the Wedding Feast, Jesus delivers a devastating warning to the religious leaders of Israel. Those who were first invited to the King's banquet reject his Son, and their privilege is taken away. The King's invitation then goes out to others to fill his wedding hall. This sermon...
-
'Fruit Without the Father' - 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
In a society that still cherishes many of the fruits of Christianity — human dignity, compassion, justice, mercy and forgiveness — yet so often rejects the Christ from whom they came, can we really hope to preserve this inheritance? In the Parable of the Wicked Tenants, Jesus exposes the...
-
'The Faith We Hand On' - 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
What exactly is the faith Christians are called to hand on? This sermon explores Paul’s great summary in Philippians 2: Jesus Christ, truly God and truly man, who did not grasp at glory but humbled himself to save us. Drawing together Philippians, Ezekiel and Jesus’ parable of the two sons, the...
-
'When Mercy Feels Unfair' - 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
Why should the man who worked for one hour receive the same as the man who worked all day? Jesus’ parable of the labourers in the vineyard is meant to unsettle us. This sermon explores grace that cannot be earned, mercy that refuses to keep score, and the uncomfortable truth that God may be just…

'Infinite Debt' - 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
What does it mean to owe God a debt we could never repay? This sermon explores Jesus’ command to forgive “seventy times seven” and the parable of the unforgiving servant. In it we are confronted with the scale of our own sin, the mercy of God in Christ, and the challenge that those who have been...
-
'The Debt of Love' - 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
What does St Paul mean when he says that love fulfils the law? In this sermon on Romans 13:8–10, we consider the Christian’s continuing “debt of love”, and why biblical love can never simply mean approving whatever we happen to desire. True love is shaped by the truth of God, seeks the genuine…

'Get Behind Me Satan' - 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
Who is Jesus Christ, what did he come to do, and what does that mean for us? Peter confesses Jesus as “the Christ, the Son of the living God” — but immediately recoils when Jesus reveals that his path leads to the cross. This sermon explores the danger of wanting Christ on our own terms: a Christ...
-
'Mary Assumed into Glory' - The Assumption of the BVM
Beginning with St Paul’s proclamation that the risen Christ is “the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep”, Fr Morrison explores how the Assumption of Mary points us towards the final triumph of Christ over death and the glory promised to those who belong to him. In the Virgin Mary, we see...
-
'Whom Shall We Fear?' - 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
What we love and what we fear reveal a great deal about who we are. Elijah hears the still, small voice of God amid the overwhelming forces of the natural world, while St Peter discovers what happens when his attention shifts from Christ to the storm around him. This sermon explores how love and...
-
'Come and Eat' - 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
At the Feeding of the Five Thousand, Jesus does far more than satisfy a hungry crowd. This miracle reveals him as the compassionate God, the Bread of Life, and the fulfilment of promise. Drawing together Isaiah's invitation to the heavenly banquet, Christ's gift of himself in the Holy Eucharist,...
-
'Worth Everything' - 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
Jesus' parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price invite us to ask the question: what is the Kingdom of Heaven really worth? In this sermon, Fr Morrison reflects on the incomparable value of God's Kingdom, the wisdom to recognise its worth, and the joy of those who gladly...
-
'Patient Lord, Certain Harvest' - 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
Why does God permit evil? In the Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds, Jesus reveals that the continued presence of evil is not evidence of God's indifference, but of his patience. Yet that patience will not last forever. The harvest is certain, the enemy's work will be undone, and Christ will…
more -
'The Powerful Word' - 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
Jesus compares the kingdom of God to a farmer scattering seed—but why? In this sermon, Fr Morrison explores the hidden power of God's word, the purpose of Christ's parables, and the Parable of the Sower in the light of Isaiah 55 and Romans 8. As God's word takes root in receptive hearts, it…

'The Burden-Bearer' - 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
We all carry burdens—grief, anxiety, responsibility and disappointment—but Jesus tells us, "Come to me... and I will give you rest." In this sermon on Matthew 11:25-30, we discover that these are words of far more than mere comforting advice. They are an astonishing claim made by the Son of God...
-
'Do not be afraid' - 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
In Matthew 10, we hear Christ's repeated command to his disciples: "Do not be afraid." These are not words spoken to people living comfortable lives. Jesus sends his followers out as sheep among wolves, warning them of opposition, rejection, persecution, and even death. Drawing together the…
more -
'Enemies to Friends' - 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
In a world longing for peace, where should we look? Preaching on Romans 5:6-11, Fr Morrison explores the Bible's diagnosis of humanity's deepest problem and God's great solution. True peace between people can only be found when peace with God is restored. Through the death and resurrection of...
-
'My Flesh is Real Food' - Corpus Christi (Year A)
On the Feast of Corpus Christi, we reflect on one of the most startling and divisive statements Jesus ever made: “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.” Drawing together the history of the manna in the wilderness and Christ's controversial teaching in John 6, this sermon...
-
'God in Three Persons' - Trinity Sunday (Year A)
The doctrine of the Trinity is not abstract theology but the very heart of the Gospel: the Father sends, the Son saves, and the Spirit gives life. In this sermon, Fr Morrison explores how the God who once revealed himself to Moses in cloud and fire has now made himself known fully in Jesus Christ...
-
'Power from on high' - Pentecost (Year A)
At Pentecost, we remember not only the coming of the Holy Spirit, but the commissioning of the Church for her mission in the world. Here, Fr Morrison explores Pentecost as the moment Christ empowers his people with divine courage, holiness, and truth for the spiritual battle against sin, death…

'Risen, Ascended, Glorified' - Ascension Sunday 2026
At this Ascensiontide, we reflect upon the glory of Jesus Christ — risen from the dead, ascended into heaven, and enthroned at the right hand of the Father. Fr Morrison explores Christ’s heavenly reign, his continual intercession for his people, and the confidence Christians have because the...
-
'Witnesses in a Hostile World' - 6th Sunday of Easter (Year A)
The early Christians did not change the world through power, wealth, or influence, but through the power of the Holy Spirit. In this sermon, Fr Morrison reflects on the bold witness of the Apostles, the courage of the martyrs, and the truth of the Gospel they proclaimed. What does faithful...
-
'The Way, the Truth and the Life' - 5th Sunday of Easter (Year A)
Fr Edward Morrison preaches on John 14:1–12, in which Jesus declares, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” In a world that treats religion as subjective and interchangeable, Fr Morrison encourages us to recognise the exclusive claims of Christ and the certainty of God’s self-revelation in him.
-
'Known in the Breaking of Bread' - 3rd Sunday of Easter (Year A)
Fr Edward Morrison preaches on Luke 24:13-35, exploring how the risen Jesus was made known to his disciples on the road to Emmaus. As their eyes were opened in the breaking of the bread, we see how Christ continues to abide with his people today in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood.
