Fr Mike Delaney says the departure from Hobart of the China Zorrilla, a remarkable Tasmanian-built, fully electric ferry reminds us to notice and appreciate the everyday technological marvels and God-given human gifts that make such feats possible for the good of others

Bishop Brian Mascord says Jesus’ words at the end of today's gospel are quite confronting: the Kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. Jesus is challenging us, the tenants of the new vineyard of the church, to produce the fruits of justice, love, and peace.

Mother Hilda reflects on Hildegard of Bingen, who spoke of being "encircled by the arms of the mystery of God." She encourages us to discover that God’s mystery is intimately present within and around us.

Bishop Tony Percy says St Paul’s teaching in Philippians 4 challenges us not to be consumed by worries that may never actually happen. Paul offers the remedy: don't worry but bring your needs to God through prayer and thanksgiving

Christy Honeysett says doubt in prayer often arises when our expectations of God are not fulfilled. We often desire to control God’s presence and actions in our lives. Rather than allowing doubt to lead to cynicism, we can see it as an invitation to let go of control, embrace God’s mystery, and deepen our faith.

Bishop Tony Percy reflects on change, and the moral conversion Jesus calls for in today's Gospel. Jesus highlights how tax collectors and sinners responded to the call to conversion. Acceptance is not approval or judgment, but a close cousin of forgiveness and love, and it's this acceptance that opens the door to conversion

Peter Abela explains that Arrow prayer is an ancient Christian practice involving short, heartfelt prayers directed towards God throughout the day. These brief prayers, such as “Lord, have mercy” or “Help me to trust you,” help us turn our attention to God during moments of anxiety, gratitude, temptation, and everyday activities

Tony Percy says the parable of the vineyard workers shows compassion not according to what they have earned, but according to what they need. God is so generous that he dwarfs people’s desires
