Sr Margaret Ghosn mshf Shepherd’s Corner A Successor of the Apostles Dear Parishioners, Stephen Ray, now a Catholic, explains that even in his first attendance at a Catholic Mass, still as a Baptist, he felt that when the Priest entered into the Church and past by him to begin the Mass that, like the Christians in the Early Church, he was watching one of the Apostles coming to lead them in the Breaking of the Bread. He felt he was in the presence of an Apostle who walked with Christ Jesus our Lord and witnessed His Resurrection. This Sunday we will be lead to feel this Apostolic presence more fully, when our Maronite Patriarch, who traces his Ministry as Patriarch and Bishop back to St Peter and the early Church of Antioch, will enter into our Parish Co Cathedral to lead us in the celebration of the Holy Offering of the Mass. We will be reminded that the Patriarch, His Eminence and Beatitude Mar Becharra Peter Cardinal Rai, who like every Maronite Patriarch carries the name of the Apostle Peter, links us to the Apostles and through the Sacrament of the Eucharist we meet Christ and experience the power of His Cross. This Sunday’s Epistle asks us to “shine like stars in the world”. In the fifth century, St Maroun heard that call. He did not know then that, through Christ, he would inspire a faithful Church to flourish in his name. He could not have known that the Church would flourish beyond his little mountain through the East and throughout the world. Therefore like the Apostles in the early church communities the Patriarch I’m sure will take great joy in seeing his children here in Australia in our Parishes “shining like stars in the world” and carrying with them the rich liturgical and spiritual heritage of their Maronite ancestors and the love of Christ in their hearts. We therefore anticipate with great joy the visit of the Patriarch. Monsignor Shora Maree PP EV Getting to know our Patriarch before his historical visit to Australia Early Life selected was “Communion and Charity.” Patriarch Mar Bechara Boutros Cardinal Rai was born in On 7 March 2012, Patriarch Rai was appointed a member of Himlaya, Matn District, Lebanon on 25 February 1940.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See BENEDICT XVI GENERAL AUDIENCE Saint Peter's Square Wednesday, 20 October 2010 Saint Elizabeth of Hungary Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today I would like to speak to you about one of the women of the Middle Ages who inspired the greatest admiration; she is St Elizabeth of Hungary, also called St Elizabeth of Thuringia. Elizabeth was born in 1207; historians dispute her birthplace. Her father was Andrew ii, the rich and powerful King of Hungary. To reinforce political ties he had married the German Countess Gertrude of Andechs-Meran, sister of St Hedwig who was wife to the Duke of Silesia. Elizabeth, together with her sister and three brothers, spent only the first four years of her childhood at the Hungarian court. She liked playing, music and dancing; she recited her prayers faithfully and already showed special attention to the poor, whom she helped with a kind word or an affectionate gesture. Her happy childhood was suddenly interrupted when some knights arrived from distant Thuringia to escort her to her new residence in Central Germany. In fact, complying with the customs of that time, Elizabeth's father had arranged for her to become a Princess of Thuringia. The Landgrave or Count of this region was one of the richest and most influential sovereigns in Europe at the beginning of the 13th century and his castle was a centre of magnificence and culture. 2 However, the festivities and apparent glory concealed the ambition of feudal princes who were frequently warring with each other and in conflict with the royal and imperial authorities.
