25.01.2022 Did Jesus have Brothers and Sisters? In today's Gospel readings it mentions the mother and brothers of Jesus but in Aramaic (the language Jesus spoke) does 'brother' mean blood brother? Listen to Catholic Answers below and find out. https://youtu.be/J9n3vbSTu3Q

23.01.2022 Day 22 Consecration to St Joseph. Today, Robert and Carmel Assaf reflect on the title, St Joseph Mirror of Patience! Robert delves into the Gospel of St Luke an...d draws forth a wonderful insight from the prophesy of Simeon which may have had a lifelong impact on St Joseph himself. Carmel makes a lovely practical application of the virtue of Patience in light of the maternal bond between mother and child. Robert and Carmel Assaf are a young married couple who have recently been given the gift of their first born daughter, Mariam. They are regular contributors to the 'Catholicsphere' in the Archdiocese of Sydney with a recent contribution being their pastoral concern for those couples who have experienced the grief of miscarriage. They are also well known for their love of 'relics' and their active support for the revitalisation of our national good through the influence of upright and conscientious politicians. See more

20.01.2022 Families need Mass The gifts of God’s eternal love and the Church He gave to guide us to heaven are meant for everyone. It’s up to us to share these gifts with the world, starting with those we love and those in our own community. Chances are you know someonemaybe many peoplewho have left the Catholic Church. Often, all they are waiting for is an invitation to come home, an invitation that can be extended to them by ordinary followers of Jesus Christ, like you and me. https...://youtu.be/SEUzfxK--Cc https://www.catholicscomehome.org

19.01.2022 Day 26 Consecration to St Joseph. Andrea Velarde Vidaurrázaga, Chaplaincy Convenor at Notre Dame University Sydney, explains what it means to be pure of heart i...n light of St Joseph's beautiful title, the Guardian of Virgins. Andrea explains that virginity and purity are the domain of the Holy Spirit and that understood in this light, is a state of heart which everyone can strive for. Andrea Velarde Vidaurrázaga is a member of the Marian Community of Reconciliation - also known as the Fraternas - who are a lay Society of Apostolic Life of Diocesan Right. Founded in Peru in 1991, the Fraternas take on the commitments of obedience, celibacy and detachment from temporal goods in order to be fully available for the apostolate, centered on working with youth, families, the needy, the evangelization of culture and the protection and the dignity of life. Currently, members of the community serve in several dioceses of South and Central America, Australia, England, Italy and the U.S. Read More about Fraternas here: https://www.catholicweekly.com.au/consecrated-life-arms-ou/ See more

19.01.2022 Congratulations class of 2020!! We wish each of the year 12 students of MSJ and De La Salle success, happiness and faith as they continue their life’s journey. St Luke's is holding you in our prayers.

19.01.2022 In today’s Gospel, we see clearly that Jesus’ mission is to be healer and liberator- whatever it would cost Him. Sometimes we might wonder if it was worth the c...ost. Instead of treasuring and utilising their freedom well, people so often take it for granted, waste it, live an indolent, lazy existence. That’s not Christian freedom. Christian freedom honours Christ’s work by getting up immediately, as Simon’s mother-in-law did and getting straight back to work for others. May God grant us the wisdom to use our freedom well, the determination to extend that freedom to others, and the means to liberate those trapped by any kind of bondage. If you're unable to attend Mass in person today, due to COVID-19 restrictions, I invite you to join me for the 10:30am Solemn Mass, livestreamed here from St Mary's Cathedral: https://bit.ly/3pTV2pt My ongoing prayers are with you all.

18.01.2022 In February, we celebrate the Holy FamilyJesus, Mary, and Joseph. In sending His Son to earth as a Baby, born into a family, God elevated the family beyond a mere natural institution. Our own family life reflects that lived by Christ, in obedience to His mother and foster father. Both as children and as parents, we can take comfort in the fact that we have the perfect model of the family before us in the Holy Family.

17.01.2022 Day 21 Consecration to St Joseph. Today, Dominic Lawrence reflects on the title, St Joseph Most Faithful! Dominic looks at St Joseph's faithfulness as a profoun...d example of what each of us us called to do in our own personal relationship with God; that this faithfulness is primarily exercised in the effort to make a suitable time to speak to the Lord in prayer EACH day. Faithfulness to the Beloved! Dom Lawrence is a young adult leader of the Emmanuel Community and regularly leads formation opportunities which assists in better understanding the social doctrine of the Catholic Church. See more

15.01.2022 THE PRIEST WHO WAS A BEGGAR AT THE CHURCH DOOR A young man had a vocation to the priesthood, so his bishop sent him to study in Rome. After being duly ordained... priest and serving in the diocese, his bishop sent him to Rome again for further study. While there he used to visit a small church to say his office and to pray. At the door sat a group of beggars seeking alms, and one of them made him feel uneasy for some inexplicable reason. So he went back to him and asked, Do I know you? Yes, said the beggar, I studied for the priesthood with you here in Rome and was ordained. The priest asked aghast, Whatever happened to you? He was told: I encountered crisis after crisis in my life and eventually renounced the priesthood. I had my priestly faculties taken from me. I lost everything and am reduced to begging. The priest could not forget the beggar and prayed constantly for him. The study course he was attending was drawing to an end and the students were invited to receive individual blessings from Pope John Paul II. They were forbidden to speak to him personally, but as the priest knelt to receive the blessing, his mind was so full of the beggar that he blurted out, Holy Father, please pray for X who sits begging outside a church in Rome. He was ordained priest, but has resigned and his priestly faculties were removed. He hardly had time to finish as he was hustled away by indignant attendants. A few days later the priest received an invitation and he hurried to the church and found the beggar. Come quickly, he said, We are to dine with the Pope. Impossible, replied the beggar, How could I visit him in this state? The priest helped him to tidy up and they entered by the great gates of St. Peter’s, where they were met by Monsignor Dziwisz, the Polish secretary to the Pope. He conducted them to the dining room where His Holiness awaited them. After introductions, they sat down to a lovely meal. During dessert, the Pope signaled to his secretary who rose, and beckoning to the priest to follow him, left the room. After about 15 minutes the Pope called them in again. Nothing was said about what happened in their absence. As they crossed St. Peter’s Square, the priest, overcome with curiosity, asked the beggar eagerly what transpired while he was out of the room. The beggar related that when they were alone, the Holy Father turned to him and said, Father, please hear my confession. In great confusion and distress he replied, I cannot do that. I am no longer a priest. The Pope looked at him with loving compassion. Then he raised his right hand and wagging his finger he said, ONCE A PRIEST, ALWAYS A PRIEST. After a long pause, he continued, As Bishop of Rome and Head of the Catholic Church, I could restore your priestly faculties to youbut you would have to ask. The beggar, overwhelmed and close to tears, said simply, Please, Holy Father Then the Pope heard his confession and restored his priesthood to him. Afterwards (John Paul II ) repeated his original request and he heard the Pope’s confession. After a pause for prayers and meditation, John Paul II said: When you leave here, I want you to go to the church where you have been begging and seek out the parish priest. I am appointing you curate in that parish, with special responsibility for the beggars who seek alms at the church door. (Disclaimer - The story cannot be verified, but I want to draw your attention to the unfortunate priest. Most of us expect our priests to be perfect, God like when in fact they are human. The problems they face are particularly difficult because there is no one to comfort them. Let's not have high expectations from them but offer our prayers and support in their ministry. May God bless them as they work the Vinyard of souls for as Christ himself said - The harvest is great and the labourers are few.) SOURCE https://www.ennisparish.com//the-priest-the-beggar-and-th/
