Acknowledgement of difference and acceptance of each person’s unique qualities, as well as their particular blend of cultural influences can assist people to grow in cultural richness and social strength. However more often than not, perceptions and attitudes are based on the limited understandings we currently hold, and we are all prone to prejudice. The key to cultural understanding lies in an open mind. Given the rise in expressions of racist attitudes in recent times, it is more important than ever to remember that general statements about cultural backgrounds can lead to stereotyping. Stereotyping often undervalues individuals and cultures, and can be based on mistaken assumptions. It must be noted that the brief and general descriptions of a culture or country, such as the snapshots in this Cultural Dictionary, should never be applied in a blanket way to any individual or group.

As the Jan. 12 anniversary of the quake came and went, the “build back” slogan has faded from most discussions, but the work of rebuilding—in reality, building—a country has moved ahead even if progress has been slow and difficult to measure.

  • Archbishop Bathersby Celebrates 25Th Episcopal Anniversary The
    Archbishop Bathersby celebrates 25th Episcopal Anniversary The Catholic Archbishop of Brisbane, Most Rev John Bathersby, has marked the 25th Anniversary of his Episcopal ordination. A Thanksgiving Mass was held in a full Cathedral of St Stephen on March 24 to celebrate the occasion, with attending dignitaries including the Governor of Queensland, Her Excellency Ms Penelope Wensley; the Deputy Premier, Mr Paul Lucas, and the Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Mr Campbell Newman. The Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Giuseppe Lazzarotto, and around 27 brother Bishops and colleagues from around Australia and New Zealand were also present, along with parishioners and students from Catholic schools. Archbishop Bathersby was ordained Bishop of Cairns in March 1986, an appointment that allowed him to concelebrate Mass with John Paul II at QEII stadium for what was the Pontiff’s first ever Australian papal visit. He became Archbishop of Brisbane in December 1991. A special papal blessing from Pope Benedict XVI, in honour of the milestone, was recently received by the Archbishop. This being his 75th year (his birthday is in July), the Archbishop must notify the Holy See he has reached the required retirement age. In due course the Pope will appoint a successor. The president of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, Archbishop Philip Wilson, preached the homily at the Thanksgiving Mass. In a message especially penned for this weekend’s The Catholic Leader, Archbishop Wilson paid tribute to Archbishop Bathersby as both a friend and mentor. “Archbishop Bathersby has made a very distinguished contribution to the life of the Catholic Church in Australia through his work as a priest of the Diocese of Toowoomba, his further involvement with the regional seminary in Brisbane and his ministries as Bishop of Cairns and Archbishop of Brisbane,” Archbishop Wilson said.

The sacred season calls us to fast, prayer and almsgiving. Since the Second Vatican Council the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults serves as a liturgical and catechetical preparation for those entering into full communion with the Church. For all believers it is a period offering extraordinary opportunities for spiritual growth. There is, of course the popular association of Lent with personal sacrifice or “giving up” of something good and ordinarily attractive. There is also a growing emphasis on increasing our works of charity and good deeds. The Mass prayers of Lent are especially rich and date back to the earliest days of the Season. Might we turn to them, therefore as a prayerful opportunity to seek from God that which Lent should mean for us. For example: Grant, O Lord: … that as we take up battle against spiritual Lent allows us to spiritually prepare evils, we may be armed with weapons of self- our hearts to receive the grace of restraint Easter. It is a journey of interior ... look with compassion on our weakness and conversion that is well symbolized by the Way of the Cross that the ensure us your protection Knights and Dames of the Order … that we may grow in understanding of the walk on the streets of Jerusalem riches hidden in Christ.
