Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord God.
-
I will hear what the Lord God has to say,
a voice that speaks of peace.
His help is near for those who fear him
and his glory will dwell in our land.
Mercy and faithfulness have met;
jusce and peace have embraced.
Faithfulness shall spring from the earth
and jusce look down from heaven.
The Lord will make us prosper
and our earth shall yield its fruit.
Jusce shall march before him
and peace shall follow his steps.
-
I would willingly be condemned if it could help my people.
Alleluia, alleluia!
I hope in the Lord, I trust in his word.
Alleluia!
-
Command me to come to you over the water.
REFLECTION by Fr Michael Tate
The disciples had started o from the Jewish side of the
Sea of Galilee, familiar territory. Jesus guided them
through the stormy situaon to ‘the other side’, the pagan
side, unfamiliar territory where they would not have felt at
home.
Bueted by storms, the Church is in the midst of a journey
from familiar to unfamiliar territory.
Some of the storms include a new atude to authority, to
gender roles. There is anger and suspicion at sexual abuse
and its cover up. Many of our contemporaries are openly
hosle or contentedly indierent.
In all these situaons and many more, Our Lord will not
allow us the indulgence of nostalgic yearning for the safety
of the past country inhabited by the Church. We are not to
throw Tradion with a capital 'T' overboard. To jeson the
spirit-led experience of the Church over two millennia will
not help us. Discerning tradion from nostalgia, we must
make our way to the other shore.
We could pause for a moment, resolving to row with
courage because we know we are in the same boat as
Peter whom our Risen Lord assures:
‘Do not be afraid.’

Conversations about Dying, Death and
Bereavement.
All of us experience in our life moments of loss and grief; mes when
we are reminded of the reality of death and how we respond. Many
people fear death, are not sure what to say to someone who is
grieving, or know what to do when someone close to them dies.
Beginning late July/early August (on a Saturday morning), Centacare in
conjuncon with Fr Paul Devi from the Mudgee Parish are oering
an opportunity for guided and gentle Conversaons on Death, Dying
and Bereavement in Mudgee. Over four sessions we will journey
together through topics such as mourning, grief, and death, to
praccalies (funeral planning etc), risks (complex grief), self-care and
spirituality.
This Conversaon program allows, over a cuppa, you to express your
views, to hear other’s views, and to learn what the Church teaches
around these dicult topics. There is no fee for this program.
If you would like to discuss the program more or express your interest
in being part of these Conversaons, please call Louise Hennessy from
Centacare 0419 631 781
