Voice to Parliament – Liturgy March 5, 2023
Continuing our Lenten journey, this week reflects on Lent as a call to look clear-sighted at ourselves and our world, including the structures of power and violence in which we are implicated, unwittingly or not. But Lent is not about getting handicapped by guilt, which undermines dialogue and listening, but rather working with others from a place of love towards realising our interconnectedness. This is an ongoing journey. In this context, the homily looks at Voice, what it is, what it isn’t and what it could be.

Listening deeply to this sacred voice in the land and its first peoples. As part of this journey, we will be exploring the Voice to Parliament and what this means for all Australians.

Yet Paul constantly urged them towards gratitude. Was he a gifted psychologist who understood the human psyche and what it needs to flourish?
