I invite you to once again re-visit our Church without Walls series which has its origins in our Diocesan Synod.

Today, on Easter Sunday, we’re invited to see differently as we reflect on how Jesus remembered/re-member-ed us, when he gave his life on the cross for the suffering world, out of a love that was searching and unconditional (John 3:16).īrian Kolia’s words strongly resonated with me on Good Friday during the last prayer of solemn intercessions, “For those in tribulation”. Remembering that we are in a global pandemic, should prompt us to love our neighbour, to protect them, and to act selflessly (Re-member-ing the Vulnerable). Remembering the war in Ukraine, should drive us to also fight for justice for West Papua, Palestine, and other refugees whose search for peace and self-determination begun many decades ago and still unfulfilled today (Re-member-ing Native Peoples and Refugees). Remembering injustice against Indigenous peoples, should encourage us towards a meaningful process of healing and treaty (Re-member-ing Indigenous Peoples). Remembering victims of floods, should move us to the call for urgent climate action (Re-member-ing the Environment). This Easter, this remembering/re-member-ing couldn’t have come at a more apt time, as we reflect on the events around us, here and all over the world. Rev Dr Brian Kolia's has written the following words in the last reflection in the 2022 Common Grace Lent Series, ' Seeing Differently' : Remembering this way, is also re-member-ing that is, bringing the disregarded outsider into membership with the rest of humanity. This Easter message is not a passive remembering but one that calls us to action, to use our initiative for the well-being of others, to drive others to pursue social justice. The women’s remembering moved them to action. Jesus’ mission was countercultural and that is what I think we continue to be called to be. It seems to me that there were many women disciples who accompanied Jesus and who had a significant role in the early church. The conversation about the role of women in the church continues in all of the dialogue about the church moving forward. When they returned and told the apostles, they were not believed. They then remember Jesus’ words spoken to them in Galilee – ‘ that the Son of Man had to be handed over into the power of sinful men and be crucified and rise again on the third day.’ In this Gospel, Mary Magdalene, Joanna and Mary the mother of Jesus and other women go to the tomb and find it empty, with two ‘angels’ stating that Jesus is risen. And so, when the Gospel from Luke (24:1-12) was proclaimed at the Easter Vigil, I thought about our own Synod, the Plenary Council and the Synod on Synodality.

He seemed to enjoy the role of ‘supply bishop’ and remembered Bishop Bill at the beginning of our three days of prayer.ĭuring last week and over the weekend, I have been drafting a template for the ten-page report to go to the Australian Bishops, on the Bishop’s Synod on Synodality. At the end of our Mass on Sunday night people spontaneously clapped with joy.Īrchbishop Charles Balvo, the newly appointed Nuncio to Australia, presided at the Triduum in the Cathedral. I believe many people have now returned to some form of regular worship after two years of COVID restrictions. Our week of ceremonies at the Cathedral, beginning with the Chrism Mass, and then moving to Fr Reg Callinan’s funeral, followed by Holy Thursday, Good Friday and then the Easter Masses, have been wonderful, with good appreciative and prayerful gatherings. We have moved from praying for God to save us, to praising God.
