Jesus calls us to venture out beyond our comfort zones and into those places where his love is needed most, towards people whose lives and experiences might differ drastically from our own but who remain close to God’s heart.
In this week’s stories, we hear from Dr Claudio Betti, who was in Melbourne last week for the Archdiocese’s annual clergy conference. He spoke with us about how we might be a Church that goes beyond the ‘safe space’ to build a culture of hope and peace.
As we observe Refugee Week, Andrew Hamilton SJ also encourages us to ‘light a candle’ by viewing refugees not as numbers and an abstract ‘problem’ but ‘from the inside’ as people with families and unique stories, and with inspiring gifts of resilience and generosity.
And we catch up with young Melbourne Catholic Kyle Correya, whose passion for music and ministry led him recently all the way to Rome, where he represented Australia at the International Congress on Youth Ministry.
