Catholic
Social Justice Statement – commentary from Fr Andrew Hamilton
ü
“The Gospel reading invites us to become
uncomfortable, to embody the Christ who, like Jeremiah, is on the margins. The
Jesus of the Gospels challenges, though not fully, the political, social,
cultural and religious structures and attitudes of the day. Horrifically, this
work for justice ends in the Christ's death by crucifixion, and today, acts of
injustice "crucify" people on the margins every day. The temptation
for those who are privileged in any way is to stay comfortable, but the call to
the privileged is to act prophetically, to be displaced to the margins, if we
are not already there.” – Sr Carol Dempsey

Reflection
Ø
In today’s
Gospel Jesus states his mission clearly:
To
preach the gospel to the poor,
to
heal the broken-hearted,
to
proclaim liberty to captives and
recovery
of sight to the blind,
to
set at liberty those who are hurt
and
to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.
The
Parish Choir members are saying ‘Hello’.
Sunday’s
music projection did not go quite as planned. Technology can be tricky.
But we keep on learning as we go along.
We love the way the congregation is singing along very quietly. Awesome.
