Who is my neighbour?  A lawyer wishes to get the better of Jesus. Is Jesus able to give one Law that gives eternal life? He provides that law of love of God and neighbor, but the lawyer insists - who is my neighbour? Jesus shatters his confidence with the parable of the Good Samaritan. The Samaritan is the neighbour who cares, and the lawyer must do likewise. He must behave like a Samaritan, someone whom political correctness tells him he should despise.

To be a missionary of Jesus
To be a missionary of Jesus: As Jesus set out for Jerusalem, he instructed his disciples on the cost of discipleship. However, there is more to being a disciple of Jesus. A disciple must also be a missionary: sent out to proclaim the coming of the Kingdom. In today's Gospel Jesus instructs missionary disciples how they are to behave whole on mission. Their most important method of proclaiming the Gospel will be the message of their lives. Presented by world-renowned biblical scholar Rev. Professor Francis J. Moloney SDB AM, Audio Divina, is a Lectio-Divina styled reflection on the gospel for the Fourteenth Sunday of the Year, Year C. Gospel Reading: Luke 10:1-12, 17-20 This week’s readers are Julia and Tony Narrated and Produced by Br Jeff Miller SDB For more information visit: www.salesians.org.au/info/audiodivina Â

Following Jesus to Jerusalem
Following Jesus to Jerusalem: Today's reading from the Gospel of Luke marks a turning point in his story of Jesus. After his ministry in Galilee, he sets his face to go to Jerusalem, where he will be received into heaven. He does this "resolutely." But a Samaritan village will have nothing to do with such a man, and his disciples do not understand. Jesus must instruct them on the radical nature of Christian discipleship. Presented by world-renowned biblical scholar Rev. Professor Francis J. Moloney SDB AM, Audio Divina, is a Lectio-Divina styled reflection on the gospel for the Thirteenth Sunday of the Year, Year C. Gospel Reading: Luke 9:51-62 This week’s readers are Anne-Maree and Matt Narrated and Produced by Br Jeff Miller SDB For more information visit: www.salesians.org.au/info/audiodivina

They all ate, and were filled.
They all ate, and were filled: We resume the Year of Luke in his account of the multiplication of the loves and fishes. The story tells us of Jesus' ongoing eucharistic presence, always open in the baskets of pieces of bread that remain at the end of the meal. But the meal happens because the disciples do what Jesus asks them to do: "You give them something to eat." He continues to challenge us to be a eucharistic people. We are not only people who "go to Mass," but people who give something to eat to the many who are searching for both spiritual and physical nourishment. Presented by world-renowned biblical scholar Rev. Professor Francis J. Moloney SDB AM, Audio Divina, is a Lectio-Divina styled reflection on the gospel for The Body and Blood of Christ, Year C.

The Father, his Word, and his Truth - Trinity Sunday
The Father, his Word, and his Truth: Easter Season closed with the celebration of the gift of the Holy Spirit. The "Ordinary time of the year" begins with the extraordinary tradition of our triune God. Jesus always looked to his Father. He promised that after his departure, the Father would send the Spirit. We live Christian lives because God has so loved us that he gave us his Son. The Son saved us through his death and resurrection, and the Spirit holds all of this love together among us. This trinity is the One God that we believe in. Presented by world-renowned biblical scholar Rev. Professor Francis J. Moloney SDB AM, Audio Divina, is a Lectio-Divina styled reflection on the gospel for Trinity Sunday, Year C.
