This week we are powerfully reminded of what it means to walk with each other and with Jesus. Each of us is called to be a pilgrim of hope, bearing witness to Christ’s presence with us as we make our way through a world that longs for healing and wholeness.
In this week’s stories, Archbishop Peter A Comensoli returns from a pilgrimage to the Holy Lands of Israel, the Palestinian Territories and Lebanon, where ‘Christ walked and ministered, and where, today, the great Abrahamic religions and historical cultures live side by side in very complex, and presently tragic ways’. Nevertheless, he says, each person he met ‘expressed their belief in a hope-filled future’.
More than 1,500 people walked together through Carlton’s streets and gardens, praying and singing, in a moving display of public devotion to the Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus.
And Fr Tony Feeney celebrates his 50th anniversary of ordination, reflecting on his priestly call to live with God’s people, sharing in their hopes, joys and sorrows.
