Good
morning Tranmere community.
If,
last night, you missed the Mass at the cathedral celebrating the Feast
of St Thomas, patron saint of India you can find it on Youtube
Tomorrow
we celebrate Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander Sunday.
Thank
you Sue for pointing me to the very informative site. You can find much
information and resources here
Reflection
Among
the resources mentioned above is an interesting article by Fr Frank Brennan
entitled Homily Notes. The article
ends as follows:
We remember Pope
John Paul II’s address at Alice Springs in 1986 when he told us: ‘You are part
of Australia and Australia is part of you. And the Church herself in Australia
will not be fully the Church that Jesus wants her to be until you have made
your contribution to her life and until that contribution has been joyfully
received by others.’
This discernment
group has said, ‘The Uluru Statement from the Heart continues to echo these
sentiments and a deep cry for healing. Humble listening will bring healing for
the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The principle of
subsidiarity is key – the days of others deciding for them must be over. A new
and real engagement, standing together in solidarity, is a merciful and humble
way to a new pathway of healing.’
At this Eucharist,
we come seeking the consolation of the Lord’s presence as we hear Jesus declare
to us: ‘Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in
heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my
burden light.’
Something
else - A thought from Albert Einstein:
Not
To Stop Questioning
The important thing
is not to stop questioning.
Curiosity has its
own reason for existing.
One cannot help but
be in awe when contemplating the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the
marvellous structure of reality.
It is enough if one
tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day.
Never lose a holy
curiosity.
