Too often we view God—and God’s purposes for us—in ways constrained by our limited perspectives and understandings. God is always calling us to something bigger than ourselves.
One of our newest auxiliary bishops, Bishop Rene Ramirez RCJ, shares the story of how, as he has continued to put his hand up, surrendering to God’s plan, he has been presented with opportunities and experiences above and beyond his expectations.
In anticipation of astronomer Br Guy Consolmagno SJ's visit to Melbourne next week, Australian Jesuit and theoretical physicist Matthew Pinson SJ shares how participating in the Vatican Observatory’s annual Summer School in 2023 deepened his appreciation of both the grandeur of the universe and the depth of God's love. Pope Leo XIV also visited the observatory on Sunday after video-calling Apollo 11 astronaut Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin to mark the anniversary of the first crewed moon landing.
And we share the excitement of a small group of young Catholics from Melbourne as they prepare to embark on a Jubilee of Youth pilgrimage to Assisi and Rome, where along with hundreds of thousands of other young people from around the world, they will get a glimpse of what it means to be part of something bigger.
