Just a few thoughts

"Human kindness has never weakened the
stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be
cruel to be tough." -- Franklin D. Roosevelt
·
I’m reminded of the power of the prophetic path
to create solidarity where it least seems possible, and to enhance compassion
for the suffering of others and the suffering of the world. But what are we to
do about the troubles of the world? ... to discern the signs of the times, and
to be an ever-present balm in a troubled world.… -- Barbara A. Holmes

This land is Aboriginal land and was never ceded.
Australia is the only former colonial land that does not recognise the original
owners of the land in its constitution
This is a unique opportunity to correct this injustice – Prof Jocelyn Chey
Reflections
ü The
genuine needs of all should be met.
Ø Last week the Australian Catholic Bishops released their
annual Social Justice Statement.
Each year it explores a topic of social justice significance. It provides
information and guidelines for consideration by all people, not just Christians.
Sadly it did not receive a mention in our parish. There was a time when these
very important statements were strongly promoted and made available in the
parish church.
Here is the Front Cover. It links to the Statement.

Heart
