11.01.2022 HELP CHRISTIANS IN THE HOLY LAND For 800 years, the Holy Land Franciscans have served in the land made holy by the life, suffering, death and resurrecti...on of Jesus. The annual Holy Land Collection, usually taken up on Good Friday, will this year be held in the diocese as an online collection on 15 November 2020 (World Day of the Poor). Pope Francis has asked our parishes to support the collection which helps Christians in the Holy Land. Your support helps the church minister in parishes, provide Catholic schools and offer religious education. The Holy Land Collection also helps to preserve the sacred shrines. The wars, unrest and instability have been especially hard on Christians. In these times of crisis, the Holy Land Collection provides humanitarian aid to refugees.

02.01.2022 NEW CATHEDRAL NATIVITY SCENE INVITES THE COMMUNITY RENEW ITS HOPE AFTER A CHALLENGING 2020 In a year marked by tragedy, isolation and sorrow, the Catho...lic Church in Wollongong is inviting the community to renew their hope by visiting a brand-new, beautifully constructed nativity scene on the grounds of St Francis Xavier Cathedral from Sunday 28 November. Wollongong Cathedral’s Nativity scene is inspired by a rich tradition dating back to the 13th century, when St Francis of Assisi created the first nativity set to remind children and adults that true happiness can only be found when we look beyond our material circumstances. The vicar general of the Diocese of Wollongong, Fr Bernard Gordon, says one of the great themes of Advent is the consolation God brings to his peopleespecially in the midst of trials like the COVID-19 pandemic. Advent is a season of hope and fulfilment of long-held expectations, he says. As we prepare to celebrate the arrival of the Infant Jesus, we are reminded that despite the difficulties we face in life, there is a joy freely available to us that transcends our immediate circumstances. The Nativity scene is located outdoors on the Cathedral grounds and will remain open throughout December. A range of COVIDsafe measures will be in place to support the safety and wellbeing of people visiting the scene. Fr Bernard says the beauty of the love shared by Jesus, Mary and Joseph reminds us of the importance of showing love and comfort to others, especially during difficult times. We are inviting everyone to experience this sense of love and comfort by spending some time before the Christmas crib, says Fr Bernard. It’s our hope that people will leave renewed and ready to spread the peace and joy that is at the heart of the Christmas message, and needed more than ever this year. #forallthingsgivethanks Lumen Christi Catholic Parishes, Wollongong

01.01.2022 I often feel God’s presence after Holy Communion in a special and tangible way. I know God is in my heart. And the fact that I feel Him in my heart does not int...erfere with my duties. Even when I am dealing with very important matters which require attention, I do not lose the presence of God in my soul, and I am closely united with Him. With Him I go to work, with Him I go for recreation, with Him I suffer, with Him I rejoice; I live in Him and He in me. I am never alone, because He is my constant companion. He is present to me at every moment. Our intimacy is very close, through a union of blood and of life. (Diary 318)
