Just a few thoughts
¯
We were created with the gift of free will. We
make choices that feed our own self-centred ego; or choices that benefit the
lives of others, the common good.
Jesus gives us the answer – Love Thy Neighbour. May our free will be Christ’s
will.

Yesterday I mentioned that many Catholic
bishops, priests, etc were part of the USA debacle at Capitol Hill.
Today I read this editorial
from a major USA Catholic media organisation. Incredible!

Are we in Australia on a similar pathway? There seems to be little public trust in our ‘democratic’
system.

Ø The
Eucharist in a time of pandemic – This
is from a letter in the UK Catholic weekly “The Tablet. I’m not sure if the web
page is accessible to the public.
Attending Mass on livestream at home. My
wife, son and I have taken up bread and wine to offer up as the priest on
livestream consecrates the bread and wine in the parish Mass. During the
distribution of Holy Communion a prayer displayed on a screen distinguishes
between “sacramental” and “spiritual” attendance.
I wonder what Jesus would say. I
believe He would have no problem in saying along with us: “This is my body …
this is my blood.” I also wonder whether this could not also apply to the large
numbers of priestless communities.
I realise that this may
challenge the distinctiveness of the clerical profession. But why not in a
community-oriented Church of Jesus? What happened in the early church communities?
I am interested in your thoughts?
