Reflection

Listening to the Lord - Reflection for the 14th Week of the Year, Sunday 5 July 2026.

“Learn from me for I am gentle and lowly in heart.” (Mt 11:29) by Mgr Daniel McHugh, the Co-ordinator for Ethnic Chaplaincies and Eastern Catholic Churches in the Archdiocese of Birmingham.

This week Mgr Daniel focuses on the role of the Shepherd in the Church, while telling the story of the Pallium. Pope Leo presented one to new Archbishops on the Feast of Sts Peter and Paul this week, including Archbishop Richard Moth, Archbishop of Westminster and President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales.

The Burning Bush vlog offers a 10-minute pause to be still and reflect on our Mission with the help of scripture, music/song, pictures, a homily and Adoration intended to lead into personal prayer and action.
