  • BISHOP BARRY JONES Barry Philip Jones Has Been the Catholic Bishop of Christchurch for Over Nine Years. He Will Be Rememb
    BISHOP BARRY JONES Barry Philip Jones has been the Catholic Bishop of Christchurch for over nine years. He will be remembered by us as a man of integrity, who filled the episcopal office with honour, who in demanding times gave sound leadership to the Catholic community, who was a respected representative of the Catholic Church in Canterbury and Westland and who has left a worthy heritage of faith, of priestly zeal and of Christian life. Back in the 3rd century AD, Hippolytus who was a theologian and a bishop wrote about what it means to be a bishop: He said “We are the successors of the apostles to whom it has been given to participate in their self same grace of priesthood and teaching and to be the guardians of the Church.” With Christ, the Lord, the apostles had been the founders of the Church. Aidan Nichols, an English Dominican theologian much appreciated by Bishop Jones once wrote: “The successors of the apostles, the Pope and the bishops do not ‘replace’ the apostles; they ‘ stand in’ for them. They ensure the presence of the apostles in the same ministry received from Christ.” A bishop has a threefold office which is essential for the Catholic Church. He is ordained for the office of sanctifying the faithful through the Mass and the sacraments, he is ordained for the office of teaching, handing on the faith revealed by Christ, he is ordained for the office of governing that part of the Church entrusted to him and with all the bishops under the Pope, he shares responsibility for the whole Church.

  • Venerable Suzanne Aubert (1835-1926)
    VENERABLE SUZANNE AUBERT (1835-1926) Venerable Suzanne Aubert lived her whole life dedicated to God. It was a life of heroic service and compassion; a selfless life given to others. She was the founder of New Zealand’s only indigenous religious order, the Sisters of Compassion. Suzanne Aubert was born on 19 June 1835, at St Symphorien-de-Lay, a village not far from Lyon, France. She was baptized in the parish church two days later. Of particular note in her early life was an accident that occurred when she was two years old and which affected her for the rest of her life. She fell into an icy pond in the grounds of the family home and both eyes and limbs were seriously affected. It took several years of hydrotherapy and exercise before she was well enough to attend school. Her eyesight improved, it was said, due to the intercession of Our Lady of Fourvière. Suzanne’s secondary education took place under the guidance of the Benedictine Sisters at La Rochette, a select boarding school catering for about forty pupils. Two of her aunts were members of this congregation. Under her name in the school register is written: “Left for the Missions.” At the age of fifteen Suzanne returned home where she continued her studies in music, art, needlework, languages, literature and classical devotional books. She was an exceptional reader, and taught herself Spanish in order to read the writings of St. Teresa of Avila in the original text. Her father arranged for her to learn cooking at home from their chef, a skill she never regretted.

Pentecost is the Birthday of the Church What does 'evangelise' mean? “To give witness with joy and simplicity to who we are and April - June 2016 what we believe in." Pope Francis Email: [email protected] FOOTPRINTS A Word from our Parish Priest Another six months and 2016 will become 2017. Amazing isn't it how fast the days, months, years roll by. We need to make time for ourselves and reflect on what we have experienced over the last few months, and see where God figures in all we have experienced. We might say, well, we have celebrated Ash Wednesday, and the period of Lent, and Holy Week and Easter. God was very evident in those celebrations. Then we had the Ascension and Pentecost. Yes, God was very central in those celebrations also. That's great. But, what about now, as we "celebrate" the Weeks of ORDINARY Time? Is this the 'dull' time in the Church calendar with a few highlights thrown in? We need to spend time thinking about this. In the ORDINARY Time of the Church Year, God does EXTRA-ORDINARY things for us. Do you believe that? Each day God has a message for us. What is that message? Loud and clear He says to each one of us: I LOVE YOU. What is my reaction? Do I say to God, "yeah, and I love you too" and just carry on with life? I think we need to do more, right? It takes work to grow a love relationship.

OPUS DEi AND ITS ARRIVAL IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND • A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Religious Studies at Massey University. Marina Middelplaats 2001 Some biographers of saints have in the past been interested only in highlighting extraordinary things in the lives of God's serv­ ants, from even their earliest days in the cradle. They have, unintentionally perhaps, done a disservice to christian truth. They even said of some of them that as babies they did not cry, nor drink their mother's mi lk on Fridays, out of a spirit of pen­ ance. You and I came into this world crying our heads off, and we most assuredly drank our milk in total disregard for fasts and ember days. -Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer, Christ is Passing By, 1974:26.
