As Pope Francis continues his historic tour of our region, his message of love and unity has powerful implications not only for the communities he is visiting but also for us here in Australia and for people throughout the world. Encouraging us to open ourselves to the love of our brothers and sisters, he points us to a God who delights not only in the unique gifts of different peoples and cultures but also in bringing us together.
In this week’s stories, Archbishop Peter A Comensoli's reflects on his recent visit to Indonesia, where he attended a number of events with Pope Francis and was encouraged by his experiences of a young, culturally diverse and ‘missionary-led Church with vibrant lay leadership’.
We share inspiring stories, images and messages from the Pope’s travels in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
And recognising that God brings us together not only on the global stage but also around the table, Archbishop Comensoli reflects on the significance of blessing prayers before meals in his most recent video for the Year of Prayer.
