// Discernment //

Fri, 11 May 2012 11:18:00 GMT

It has been too long! I am finally away on a 7-day holiday in tropical Queensland. I have had time to think and to plan for my future. The more I think the more questions I have about my future as priest (no, I'm not doubting my vocation as a priest), musician and youth worker. I LOVE being a priest, working in a parish and appreciate my music and youth work so very much, though where is God leading me? Less music, more music? Less work in the parish, more in the parish? More time to work on the Stronger program? I have so much to discern and would very much appreciate prayers at this time!

I am so excited to tell you that Tracey Duff from Duff Management has accepted to manage my bookings, music and more. She is a great manager who manages some very successful artists and has extensive experience in the music industry.

This will allow me more time to focus on ministry in the priesthood and not worry about where and when I have to travel, how many CDs are in stock and so on.

Please know that I will be very happy to continue to be in touch through my website, FaceBook and Twitter!

Feel very free to contact Tracey on:

// Malta //

Sun, 03 Oct 2010 14:01:00 GMT

My seven weeks of touring Australia is over and I head home to Malta in less than 24 hours! I am excited and nervous at the same time as I have not been home and not seen some of my family for three years!

As I begin this trip and spend two months there recording, catching up with family and friends AND getting ordained to the priesthood I am hoping to document some of this trip through some short video documentaries. So please watch this space and my YouTube page.

// The Space //

I am so honoured to be doing what I do! I love having been a seminarian, I love being a deacon, love that I am soon to be ordained a priest and just love ministering to God's beautiful people through word and music. What a privilege!!

I am currently in the middle of a music tour around Australia,

visiting churches, schools and concert halls with what I hope is a message of hope, love and forgiveness! It is so humbling to meet people from around Australia who want so much to love and serve God but find that they often don't have the 'space' and opportunity to fulfil that desire.

This is what mission is all about: creating a space for people to know, love and serve God. We need to reach out, to be present and become discipl-ers of those who thirst for truth; the truth which Christ alone can give! "Lord here I am, send me!"

I'm just back from 7 days of silence and prayer. It's amazing how God can work through silence and generous prayer. I feel refreshed, full of hope and confirmed in my vocation.

Some have asked how my days were spent...

The day would be spent as follows:

Wake up - Pray part of the Divine Office (Prayer of the Church)
Shower & Brekkie
Meeting with Spiritual Director
Prayer for 1 hour and 1 minute ;)
Long Walk
Another Prayer time for 1 hour and 1 minute
Siesta
Another Prayer time for 1 hour and 1 minute
Run, push-ups and sit-ups
Tea/Supper
Last Prayer session (yes, you guessed it... 1 hour and 1 minute)
Rosary and Sleep

I would spend the 1 hour and 1 minute worshipping God, praying for others and meditating on particular Scripture passages. After each prayer time I spend 5 minutes writing what God may have been saying during that time.

// Getting it Done //

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 06:38:00 GMT

With my new ‘Divine Mercy’ CD launched in Australia I can now focus on finishing of my Synthesis (thesis), prepare for my ordination & trip to Malta, & a preceding Short Australian Tour.

To get some work done I needed to get away for a few days, so I spent a few days away by the beach on the Great Ocean Road (Bliss!!)! It was a super productive & restful week and now I am back into my Melbourne lifestyle.

On another note, I watched an amazing TV Series which I could not recommend enough: Little Dorrit… if you get a chance to get & watch it please do!

Divine Mercy Chaplet

This project has been in the making for well over a year. Having collaborated with the amazing Gary and Natasha Pinto, I am very excited to bring you the first in a Devotional Series.

For those of you who are not familiar with the ‘Chaplet’, this is a meditative prayer which is usually prayed using rosary beads, because there are five sets of ten short prayers to Jesus asking him to bless, protect and “have mercy on us and the whole world.”

It is a very powerful prayer that draws me close to the heart of God every time I pray it. The Pre-Order price is just $15 (approx. EUR 10). Read More & Listen >>>
