Preach the Gospel at all times. Use words if necessary.

Just a few thoughts

·        From the Plenary Council:

T  Listening is more than just hearing  --  Pope Francis

T  To listen deeply is to connect!  --  Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann

T  The 1st session of the Plenary Council was a very formal procedural affair. I thought the introductory aboriginal presentation was great.

T  Official Agenda was presented, but no discussion about it was live-streamed.

·        Plenary Matters: Fr Frank Brennan interviewed by Geraldine Doogue about Sunday’s Opening Mass. – Very interesting audio-about 25minutes

·        Comment on the Monday session from Francis Sullivan – “For me, they are genuine voices that cry out to be heard. They are the groans of a people wanting to cultivate a place of nurture and spiritual and moral direction. A place that is inclusive and respectful of differences. A place that actually makes real our belief that God is love, and we are here to explore how love works.”

·        Comment on the Agenda from John Warhurst – “My intention was to take the opportunity to draw a line in the sand by recording for posterity that there was a serious disconnect between the voices of the faithful, voiced with enormous passion and effort, and the final ‘distilled’ version. In doing so I was expressing a widely held view among council members.”
