Liturgies

Terry Fitzpatrick reflects on the racism toward the first peoples of this land Australia in light of the imploding in United States of America around racism toward its African American population.

In this week's homily Karyn Walsh will talk about the special work Micah Projects is undertaking during the pandemic in order to keep safe and healthy the large number of people they assist who are normally homeless.

In this homily Alison will share how the single most transformative thing we can do to harness our creative potential is to truly embody Jesus’s Greatest Commandment to ‘LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your Soul and with all your mind.’

The homily this week reflects on how we experience ‘Wisdom’, the feminine face of God, through our own mothers, relationship with Mother Earth and our innate feminine wisdom.

Margaret Clifford will be reflecting on the theme of walking together in uncertain times and the quote by Franciscan sister and scientist, Ilia Delio, If we want a different world, we must become a different people. (March Newsletter, Omega Centre; "Hope in a Time of Crisis")

This week the Homily draws a parallel between the remembering of ANZAC Day and this Easter season where the disciples on the road to Emmaus seemed so wrapped up in their own questions and confusion that they did not "see" the One whose loss they grieved. Rather than impose himself on his friends, Jesus respects their experience and lets them open their eyes and see Jesus for themselves.

As we complete our Lenten journey of the seven stages of grief with acceptance and Hope at Easter, there is much to be hopeful about in our mad and strange new world.
