‘He has gone out of his mind.’

Just a few thoughts

·        Reflecting on yesterday’s Gospel……  Jesus chose his 12 apostles, his inner circle and he included Judas.  So there we have our “Church” – a church with inbuilt imperfections!

·        Blog reader Josie has been paging through some blog posts from the past and was particularly interested in the following posts:-
“Verandah”   --  it’s a good one, don’t you agree?  Do you contemplate life on your verandah? Send us a photo of your “veranda of contemplation”.
Australia Day Prayer  --  a very relevant one  as Tuesday is Australia Day.  What are you doing to celebrate Australia Day?

Reflection.

ü Like Jesus every true follower of Christ has faced misunderstanding, opposition and even verbal and physical violence. And this sometimes from within his own community.

The Signs Of The Times

Ø  Thinking about today’s Gospel it seems that many of the world’s great developments for the good of humanity have come from ideas of people who were definitely not members of “the silent majority”.
They were people seeking to change the world for the better by upsetting the status quo. Often they were depicted as extremists/ revolutionaries/ terrorists/ freedom fighters, etc.
