Saints Peter and Paul - Ep39: "Who do you say I am?"

Saints Peter and Paul are two of the greatest saints. They were chosen by Jesus to serve his Church and share the message of his love. But they certainly weren't perfect. Fr Emmanuel shares a reflection which helps us understand that Jesus is always ready to give us another chance when we turn back to him. We pray for the same strength as Saints Peter and Paul and sing the song of praise ‘How Great is Our God.’

Pentecost - Ep33: The coming of the Holy Spirit

On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came down and filled the disciples of Jesus. Fr Emmanuel gives a beautiful reflection on the power of the Holy Spirit and how we too can be filled with, as his nephew puts it, "The blow of God." We say the 'Come Holy Spirit' prayer together and ask for our hearts to be filled. We then move into a time of worship as we join Angel and sing 'Holy Spirit.'
