The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Jn 1:5
I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness,
but will have the light of life.
Jesus (Jn 8:12)
Lux in Tenebris – which means Light in Darkness –
provides education, encouragement, and resources for all who are open to the transformative power of the Light of Christ.
In the midst of contemporary culture, so much distress and confusion, and the media storms of bad news, we focus on the Good News of Jesus Christ, “centre of the universe and centre of history,” (St John Paul II, Redemptor Hominis 1).

THE LUX CHALLENGE
The Lux Challenge is for anyone who is looking for a positive change in their life.
Have you ever thought about the saying, You reap what you sow (see 2 Cor 9:6)?
Or have you ever heard the expression, If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten ?
If we want a different result, we have to try a new thing; or we have to try a new way of thinking, a new way of doing.
You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain!

Learn how to read the Sacred Page – how to go beyond a superficial reading & begin to penetrate deeply the Word of God. Examine Catholic Principles for Scriptural Interpretation, see the overarching story of the Bible, and then focus on the Gospels and the words of Christ Jesus, who says, ”These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete,” (Jn 15:11) .
Discipleship, the Unfolding of Baptismal Grace,
and the Gospel of Matthew
WEDNESDAYS OR FRIDAYS
Begin 1st or 3rd October 2025
Why is the Gospel of Matthew the most quoted gospel by the Fathers of the early Church? Why did the great St Dominic (founder of the Order of Preachers) always carry with him a copy of this gospel? Why is it the first book of the entire New Testament? How does this gospel serve as a bridge from the Old Testament to the New? And what are the important practical lessons Jesus teaches us for living out our discipleship more faithfully and more fervently?
This course seeks to explore what makes the Gospel of Matthew so unique. We will consider the structure and content of this literary masterpiece, what it has in common with the other gospels, and what is unique. The Gospel of Matthew is full of practical advice about how to live Christian discipleship, how to grow in virtue, how to deal with personal struggles, questions, and problems. As we focus on the rich theology of Christ’s fulfilment of Old Covenant prophecies, we will consider how the New Testament really is an unveiling of the Old, and we will discover the lessons for us in our life today.
We are very grateful to Bishop Philip Egan (Bishop of the Diocese of Portsmouth, England) for his blessing and his continued prayers for this new apostolate.

... a golden opportunity to explore, learn and understand more about different aspects of our Faith. They are absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend them highly enough ... – Student in Sussex, UK We really enjoyed your talk and found it a revelation! We were totally unaware of these counter arguments concerning evolution and are quite amazed! As far as we are concerned, your explanation was a great relief to some nagging doubts. – Married Couple in Southwest England I know all the sisters share my sentiments of gratitude ... It is so refreshing, especially in our day and age, to have people like yourselves who can expound the Church’s teaching with clarity and fidelity. We felt the programme was very well structured ... and the time you provided for people to make comments and ask questions gave it all a very friendly feel. We continue to …… pray for you, that, in these times when it becomes increasingly difficult to speak the truth, the Lord and our Immaculate Mother may fill you always with the Holy Spirit and grant you ever more fully the gift of fortitude, to enable you to always defend the Truth even when it is difficult.” – Religious Superior in London Thanks for the awesome lectures!
