In Fr David’s Absence Upcoming Parish Events REFLECTION by Fr Michael Tate 15 July Fr David returns from Rome The Neighbourliness of Global Citizens The Gift of Resurrection Life 18 August** 30th Celebration of KCEA to be held at Holy Name - **Sunday 2:00pm The lawyer asked a self-serving question: ‘Who is my 29 September Sydney Male Choir Concert at Holy Name neighbour?’ He could then set the limits, the boundaries of those close enough to merit his concern. Jesus replies with a 5 November Melbourne Cup Luncheon story to show that the better question is: ‘To whom should I be neighbourly?’ 12 December Australian Brandenburg Orchestra Noel Noel Concert at Holy Name The answer is: To any person who is wounded in any way – physically, psychologically, socially, economically. And we have to do so overcoming the labelling, even bigotry, which can conveniently put a person outside the range of our concern. When we act like the Samaritan, we deserve the title ‘Catholic’ which means universal. Pope Francis says that Christ is constantly inviting us, as he invited Thomas, to touch His wounds which are to be found in the wounded of our own time. We could pause for a moment to thank God that we live in an age of technology which can enable us to be truly Catholic global citizens practising Mercy Without Borders. ‘Do this and you will live.’ © Fr Michael Tate; [email protected] Rev Prof Michael Tate graduated in Law from the University of Tasmania in 1968, and in Theology from Oxford University in 1971.
