Hello there. I'm Fr Rajiv, a priest of the Diocese of Westminster, UK. These are my Sunday homilies. I've had to take a break in between, but I've started posting again from this Lent (2026). They were originally published on my blog, started over the first lockdown. These are my personal reflections (you might find echoes of the saints and great preachers, ancient and modern, from whom I've freely borrowed!). Every blessing.
As we come closer to Holy Week, Jesus declares that the hour he was preparing for, has indeed come. It is when the Greeks, the non-Jews come asking to see him, that Jesus declares his hour has come for him to be glorified. His glory is what he will reveal on the Cross. And it is a glory his disciples will share.

Lent 2nd Sunday_Climbing the Mountain
Suffering is something that seems to be an inevitable part of life. No one, good or bad, rich or poor, escapes suffering in their life. Hard as it might be, our experience of suffering becomes far more difficult due to two things: isolation and darkness. This is what the Apostles were entering into: and in their place of darkness, God reveals his light which changes everything. This is the light that God wants to cover us with, in our own time of prayer.

Lent_1st Sunday_Riding the Forces
Mark's gospel presents the shortest account of the temptations of Jesus. It mentions the Holy Spirit, the Devil and even wild animals and angels but nothing of the content of the temptations themselves. But within this few, brilliantly crafted lines, we can see our own lives played out. And Christ comes as King battling forces far greater than ourselves, so we can have the victory.
