Mass for The Assumption of Mary
On Friday August 15, we all attended mass for the Assumption of Mary. It is great for our students to experience this important Feast Day of the church with the wider parish community, that we all come together in communion with God.
Social Justice Sunday
Social justice and all it involves is an issue that touches all of us in society. If you've ever wondered what the Catholic church here in Australia says about it, have a look and this link.
Prayer for Pilgrims of Hope O God,
Source of all Life,
you created earth as our home and us in your image, out of love.
Set our hearts astir with that same love,
that we might build a culture of encounter
and systems that justly serve those
living in homelessness and mental ill-health.
Jesus our Brother, you noticed those living on the edge,
listened, healed and served them, out of love.
Move us from our embarrassment or discomfort
by those who show us your suffering face.
Instead, may we be taught by them,
offer our loving friendship and share your good news together.
Holy Spirit, Source of all Hope,
you inspire our relationships with transforming power, out of love.
Deepen our vision and enlarge our hearts
so that the fear and isolation of homelessness
and mental ill-health may be countered by love’s warmth and certainty,
that we might walk together as pilgrims of hope.
Amen.
