    [Rebroadcast] Fr. Paul & Fr Phil: What Do You Hope For?
    Apr 6 2026

    In this episode of Growing Hearts, Fr. Paul and Fr. Phil explore the deep connection between a child's relationship with their parents and their understanding of God. They discuss the weight of expectations—how children internalise them, how they shape their sense of self-worth, and how parents can navigate them in a healthy way.

    At the heart of the conversation is the theme of hope, inspired by last year's Jubilee message: A Hope That Does Not Disappoint. The discussion dives into false hopes, the dangers of misplaced expectations, and the true foundation of hope—God's grace.

    31. How Do We Make Peace With Our Limits?
    Mar 24 2026

    What if our limitations weren't something to fight—but something to receive?

    In this episode, we are joined by psychologist and mother of five, Katherine McFarlane, to explore the reality of coming up against our limits in life and in parenting. Together, we unpack how these moments—of impatience, exhaustion, and vulnerability—can become opportunities for growth, deeper relationships, and greater reliance on God.

    With practical wisdom and honest insights, this conversation invites parents to see their limitations not as failures, but as part of the path to love.

    Key Topics Discussed:

    • Reframing limitations as "skills not yet learned"
    • The connection between our weaknesses and our gifts
    • Why asking for help is essential in family life
    • The role of faith and stillness (Martha & Mary) in daily parenting
    • Recognising physical and emotional limits
    • Supporting each other as spouses and modelling this for children
    • Letting go of perfection and embracing the mess of family life

    Feb 23 2026
    In this episode, we explore the transformative power of truth, honesty, and authenticity in family life and personal growth. Our guest, Sr Mariam, a Dominican Sister of Saint Cecilia and alumni at Tangara School for Girls in Sydney, shares her personal vocation story and her insights into how truth — lived with love — brings freedom, healing, and deeper relationships. The conversation reflects on the role of honesty in the home, the importance of authentic relationships between parents and children, and how living in truth shapes character and fosters holiness in everyday life. Sr Mariam explains how even difficult truths, when communicated with love, can become opportunities for growth and trust. Drawing from her experience in education and spiritual formation, she highlights the family as a privileged place where children learn sincerity, integrity, and self-gift. The discussion encourages parents to model authenticity, create spaces of trust, and guide children toward a deeper understanding of who they are and who they are called to be. Key Topics Discussed: 1. The freedom of living in truth – paths towards healing relationships and a real grow in authenticity and holiness. 2. Honesty in family life – the primary place where children learn sincerity, trust, and how to relate to others with authenticity. 3. Forming character through virtue - living truthfully helps shape character, strengthen relationships, and develop personal integrity. 4. Authenticity in relationships - genuine encounters — marked by openness and trust — create the conditions for growth and deeper connection. Join the Conversation Living in truth can sometimes feel challenging, yet it opens the door to freedom, trust, and deeper relationships. This episode invites us to reflect on how honesty shapes our family culture and how authenticity helps children grow in confidence and character. How do you create an environment of openness and trust at home? What does living authentically look like in your family life? In what ways do you model sincerity and integrity for your children? How can we communicate difficult truths with love? We'd love to hear your insights and experiences. Join the conversation and share how your family nurtures honesty, trust, and authentic relationships.
