Where do we ultimately put our faith? In the Christ of the New Testament or in a Jesus we have tailored to our own wants?

Just a few thoughts

·         Today is Close The Gap Day – yes, another day to remind us that Indigenous Peoples are disadvantaged under our colonial style ‘supervision’! Here is a reflective prayer.

·         I subscribe to the Columban eBulletin. There is always an article that will make me think about things  --  What it means to be Australian?

·         Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up and speak out, we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice.  --  Robert F. Kennedy
