The treasure of the Church

Just a few thoughts

·        St Laurence stated that the poor, crippled, and sick were the true wealth of the Church [AD 258] How true is that today?

·        We pray for policy-makers at every level of government, that they will act to end the degradation of Australia’s environment and the critical loss of native species.

·        Last Saturday was Hiroshima Day
As we know atom bombs were dropped on 2 Japanese cities at a time when Japan was already defeated, but had not yet officially surrendered. The bombs were dropped on cities, not on military targets.
I received an email from an Australian peace organisation with a link to a video.
