July 23Rd 16Th Sunday Ord Yra 2017.Pub 16th Sunday Ordinary 23rd July 2017 Year A Corpus Christi is a community of previously homeless men, most whom are addicted to alcohol, most also with serious mental illness. It is a community on the outskirts of Melbourne founded by Mother Teresa of Calcutta in 1974. I lived there for over 15 St Ignatius Church years, for most of that time as Director. There were around 70 to 80 men in the Kensington Terrace, Toowong community. Virtually all of the men had spent time in prison—some for the simple ‘crime’ of habitual drunkenness’, others for more serious crimes of murder, manslaughter and other crimes. We tried to create community with such broken men. Despite the occasional violence we tried to create a culture of respect and caring. Those who were able helped in cleaning and serving meals, and in the cooking. Most importantly, men Holy Spirit Church brought meals to those who were sick, and even helped in bathing and clothing those Harriett Street, Auchenflower who needed that care. There was a special care for the sick and the dying, and for the brain-damaged. The loving care of some elderly Mercy Sisters who lived in the community was very important. And we celebrated Mass each day in the community. One of the men at Mass each day was Les. He was a man who lived the last years of his life at Corpus Christi Community. He was an alcoholic and a very needy man. He would never back down from a fight and had often been beated up. Les found a home at Corpus Christi and he found faith in God. He was wheel-chair bound in those last years and used to wheel himself to the chapel at least half an hour before Mass in the morning in order to pray. Someone had taught him the ‘Jesus Prayer’. His prayer was simple and profound. However, Les had strong dislikes. He didn’t like Felix, another one of the men at Corpus Christi. When Felix was sober he too liked to go to Mass. During the Prayers of the Faithful Felix was going on a bit as usual, praying for his mum, his sister, the Nuns, etc. After a while this became too much for Les. He wheeled his chair from the front left of the chapel to the middle. Looking up at the cross above the altar he said, “Sorry Jesus!” Then he started to wheel himself out of the chapel. When he passed Felix he shouted out to him, “You fat …!” Les could pray like a saint, and he could curse like a devil. In today’s gospel Jesus tells the parable of the weeds among the wheat. Les gives an example in stark contrast of what we all are. Each of us is capable of so much good, so much generosity, so much sacrifice and compassion. And yet, each of us has that side of us that is turned away from God and others, that is self-centred, narrow-minded and petty. We are, all of us, a mixture of good and bad, wheat and weeds. And our God loves us as we are—weeds and all. It’s not that God wants to encourage the weeds, and it would be better it they were not there, but we are loved as we are. That’s what we mean when we declare that God’s love for us is unconditional. You and I think that we have to be sinless in order to be loved by God. “God is love.” And God doesn’t change. We change and our sins make us think of God only as some kind of judge. God has become a condemnation of us. But Jesus tells us that the real God, our God is helplessly and hopelessly in love with us, unconditionally in love with us. On behalf of the Parish Pastoral Council and the other leaders of our parish I want to thank parishioners for your generous responses to the document issued by the PPC. This weekend members of the Council will report back at all Masses this weekend. They will give an account of the progress towards a transition to a new administration in so far as it is known at this time.

    41 ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF QUEENSLAND JOURNAL Volume XIV, No.l May 1990 Arthur Hodgson The Centaur Who Left His Sheep by J.CH. Gill (All Rights Reserved) Read at a meeting of the Society on 27 Julyl989 Arthur Hodgson was the first born of the Rev. Edward Hodgson's third marriage. Edward Hodgson's first wife had died after childbirth in 1809 and though the child survived it lived for eight months only. His second wife died in similar circumstances in 1813, but this time the child, Edward Franks, survived. His third wife, whom he married in 1815, was Charlotte Pemberton of Trumpington, Cambridge and in addition to Arthur she produced five other sons and three daughters. Arthur was born at Rickmansworth vicarage on 29 June 1818 and was to enjoy a long and rewarding life although marred by tragedy in his final years.' Sent to Eton as an oppidan in 1828 he passed into college in 1830. At the age of 15 he entered the Royal Navy as a Volunteer first class and reported for duty on 21 March 1834. His first posting was to HMS Canopus which proceeded to the Mediterranean station for a three year tour of duty. On 1 February 1836 he was promoted to midshipman. Canopus returned to England in February 1837, was decommissioned and her crew paid off. Hodgson then left the Royal Navy to go up to Cambridge University.^ He was admitted as a pensioner at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge on 11 May 1837. After matriculating at Michaelmas 1837 Hodgson remained at Cambridge for four terms and then went down without graduating in 1838.^ Mr.

  • A LETTER from ARTHUR HODGSON to HENRY STUART RUSSELL the Genesis of Queensland
    211 A LETTER FROM ARTHUR HODGSON TO HENRY STUART RUSSELL The Genesis of Queensland SIR ARTHUR HODGSON The Editor has received from Mr. Alec. H. Chisholm, ornithologist and historian, and a Fellow of the Society, a copy of a letter sent by Arthur Hodgson' to Henry Stuart Russell,^ which is of historic interest. It relates to the pub­ lication of Russell's book "The Genesis of Queensland."^ The letter was dated 9 March 1888. It read as foUows: Clopton House, Stratford on Avon. "My Dear Russell, "Yesterday 'The Genesis of Queensland' reached me from Sydney by parcel-post. It was a long time en route, our son Edward, manager of Eton Vale, having written to us that the book was in his possession, and received favourable reviews, had been forwarded by him to Clopton. 212 "I called last week, when in London, at several bookseUers, but they knew nothing, and at Stamford's, Charing Cross, I was told that such a book would be in great request, as Queensland, owing to its vast mineral resources, was largely in the ascendant. "I have sent them the name of the pubUsher, and to Bumper's in Oxford Street, etc., etc., and at the Colonial Institute your book was unknown. "I hope that the pubUshers have their agents in London, and that they have forwarded at least 100 copies, which I feel assured would find a very ready sale. "All this by way of introduction, and I may add that as soon as our friend RoUeston'' told me that such a book was on the stocks, I immediately (in May last) ordered two copies.

  • The Langs in Queensland 1858-65: an Unwritten Chapter Denis Cryle Presented at a Meeting of the Society 21 May 1987
    The Langs in Queensland 1858-65: An Unwritten Chapter Denis Cryle Presented at a meeting of the Society 21 May 1987 The history of nineteenth century Queensland journals and journalists has been a longstanding preoccupation of this Society. Details of newspaper proprietors and printers have been assiduously compiled by such leading Society members as Alfred Davies' and Clem Lack,^ while, in more recent years. Rod Kirkpatrick and James Manion have contributed addresses on the same subject.^ In a carefully researched paper, Kirkpatrick paid tribute to the work of former Society President, Alan Arthur Morrison, explaining how he had set out to amplify Morrison's suggestive analysis of Queensland provincial journalism. In spite of the wealth of detail which both Kirkpatrick and Marion have provided, Morrison's noteworthy attempt to compile a comprehensive social history of colonial Queensland, using the press as a vantage point, has still to be fully developed. In keeping with Morrison's preoccupations," this address will focus on the formative 1860's, with special reference to the Lang family. Preoccupied with details of newspaper production and personnel, most researchers have neglected to study the role by influential con­ tributors in nineteenth century journalism. Operating on a free-lance rather than routine basis, articulate writers used the colonial press to agitate a range of important issues. One of the most prolific con­ tributors during the mid nineteenth century was John Dunmore Lang, author of Cooksland (1847) and architect of controversial immigration ventures to Moreton Bay (1848-49). Lang's colonial reputation owed much to his prodigious newspaper correspondence, most of which was informative rather than merely personal or defamatory.

  • SIR ARTHUR HODGSON Papers, 1837-90 Reels M675, M789-M790
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT SIR ARTHUR HODGSON Papers, 1837-90 Reels M675, M789-M790 Mrs F.E. Spurway Halse Taunton Somerset National Library of Australia State library of New South Wales Filmed: 1956-57, 1971 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Sir Arthur Hodgson (1818-1902) was born at Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, and educated at Eton. After serving in the Royal Navy, he emigrated to New South Wales in 1839. He leased a station in the New England district and in 1840, with his partner Gilbert Eliott, took up Eton Vale, the second run in the Darling Downs. He married Eliza Dowling, the daughter of Sir James Dowling in 1842. He struggled to make a living in the early years, but by the 1850s the property was on a secure footing and was the centre of Darling Downs society. He was the general superintendent of the Australian Agricultural Society in 1856-61. Hodgson fought hard for the separation of Moreton Bay and the Northern District from New South Wales. He was a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly in 1868-69 and served in the ministries led by Robert Mackenzie and Charles Lilley. In 1870 he and his wife settled in England and in 1873 he acquired an estate near Stratford-upon-Avon. His income from Eton Vale rose steadily and he became a leading figure in Warwickshire society. He became deputy-lieutenant and high sheriff of Warwickshire in 1881. Hodgson visited Queensland several times and he represented Queensland at international exhibitions in London, Paris and Vienna. For these services he was knighted in 1886.
