25.01.2022 Might be a great Christmas present

24.01.2022 Time to register brothers

24.01.2022 I was thinking about all my family coming together for Christmas and how the individual personalities and dynamics might rub against each other. I noticed mysel...f focusing more on this than the real reason that we are coming together. This then meant that my narrow focus was projected towards my nuclear family. I realised that I was trying to control those around me to do what I wanted them to do because in my mind it was the right thing to do. I may have got what I wanted but the tension this created between these relationships was not what I bargained for. In fact, the distance, anger, and resentment on all sides were growing deeper. No one was really happy. I came to the conclusion that I only had the power to change myself. Initially, this challenge seemed unfair and of course, this was my right to want those living with me to do what I wanted them to do or to support me. it was only when I took up the challenge to change me that things got better, my anger and anxiety gave way to peace in my life. I am remembering this challenge and hoping to carry this on during the busy period when I will celebrate the birth of Jesus with my family. The words below from Kathleen Smith cement what I want to work towards. You take the time to define what you really value. You share your thinking without trying to manage the reaction. You work on managing your own reactivity around anxious people. You take time to access your own thinking before polling others. You focus on managing your anxiety while relating to your children. You generate your own objective, flexible, and attainable definitions of success. You take time to gather facts when you feel distressed. You try to evaluate yourself more objectively. You ask people what they are thinking rather than guessing. You define how you want to respond to big issues and events. You share important information with family members. You work on your own maturity rather than forcing maturity on others. You try to calm yourself down before sharing challenges with others. You focus on how you want to respond to challenging family members. You use your own principles to guide your actions. You let others be responsible for themselves. You treat rejection and disappointment like they are manageable. You share your thinking with friends, even when they may disagree. You focus on managing your own anxiety instead of managing others. You accept the reality that some anxiety is the price of growing up, of living a life driven by your own thinking and beliefs.

10.01.2022 The Catholic Voice writes about the upcoming Men's Conference: 'Organiser Robert Falzon said he felt compelled to do something to address the demographic crisi...s in churches. If you go to church on Sunday and you look around, the average parishioner is probably 60. So I went to the bishops and said this is a problem and I cant stand the idea that were not doing anything about it,'

05.01.2022 Last week for our annual week of formation to begin the year, Catholic mens ministry group Men Alive came to the seminary. Over four days we were led through c...onferences, stories and prayer centered around what true manhood is all about. It was truly a blessed time of growth for us all, and we sincerely thank Robert, Peter and all the NSW based volunteers for their generous time and efforts. MenALIVE On the Friday of that same week, Tony from the Kids Helpline came to speak to us. Over the course of the morning we learned much about the essential service offered by Kids Helpline, and much about the challenges young people face each day. If you are a young person and need help, dont hesitate to give them a free call at any time on 1800551800 Kids Helpline Official

03.01.2022 menALIVE Christmas message and greetings We pray that you and yours are well and looking towards a slower time, possibly even stopping for a few moments over the Christmas period? As the year is coming to a close we have been reflecting on all the Lord has done for us and with us.... The numbers give some indication on how we went--- 40 + events/ 1500 + men, including MAX19 Into the Breach in Brisbane and Sydney For this, let us give thanks! More important though is to look towards the other salient and significant indicators --- Encounter with Jesus and inevitable Life Change!Church RenewalWe have seen great contributions to Diocesan renewal --- Sydney Archdiocese, ACT Archdiocese, Rockhampton Diocese, Townsville Diocese, Lismore Diocese, Melbourne Archdiocese, Adelaide Diocese, Hobart Archdiocese, Sale Diocese, Brisbane Archdiocese and Wollongong Diocese. Personal maturity and growthLet us take one moment and look at the man you were at the end of 2018. Now look in the mirror and say; Jesus do you Occupy more of me this year than last. Am I more yours this year. Do I love you more and love your people more? Do my family experience me being more loving and less self-serving? Team Growth and MaturityWe thank our National teams for the love and generous commitment to Christ this year. For you all and for all that you are becoming, with a deep gratitude we say.thank you for so so much. You are incredible! Dear friends, As we wait longingly for the angel Gabriel to break the silence, and for the Word to become flesh and dwellamong us. Let us Look and Long for the birth of the Christ in the mangers of our hearts. Let us too become food, for a hungry world. Emmanuel! God is with Us..The menALIVE teams.
