The Year of Grace: ‘What shall we do?’

HARTBEAT

Sunday 27 May 2012

By Archbishop Denis Hart

Kairos Catholic Journal

With the celebration of the Feast of Pentecost, we have begun the Year of Grace for the Catholic Church in Australia. In October last year, when we were gathered with the Holy Father in Rome, Archbishop Wilson told the Pope:

Parish Newsletter - 6th Sunday of Easter, 13 May 2012

EXPLORING THE WORD

The heart of today’s Gospel lies in Jesus himself. “Love one another” The model for this love is the love Jesus showed towards all those who follow him. Jesus has changed the way in which God relates to human beings. We are no longer servants of God but are drawn into deep intimacy and friendship through the Son. This new relationship is not dependent on our choice or will. God has chosen us and we are now commissioned to bear fruit, fruit that will last.....
