What world does God desire? A vibrant, joyous, harmonious one, in the Spirit and in Christ.
Homily for First Reconciliation Liturgy, delivered in St Peter Chanel Church, Tannum, Qld.
"Listen then, Israel, keep and observe what will make you prosper and give you great increase, as the Lord your God of your fathers has promised you, giving you a land where milk and honey flow... Listen, Israel: the Lord our God is the one Lord. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength. Let these words I urge on you today be written on your heart. You shall repeat them to your children and say them over to them whether at rest in your house or walking abroad, at your lying down or at your rising; you shall fasten them on your hand as a sign and on your forehead as a circlet; you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." (cf. Deut 6).
"With the Lord there is mercy, and fullness of redemption." (Ps 130).
"As Jesus was walking on from there he saw a man named Matthew sitting by the customs house, and he said to him, 'Follow me.' And he got up and followed him. While he was at dinner in the house it happened that a number of tax collectors and sinners came to sit at the table with Jesus and his disciples. When the pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, 'Why does your master eat with tax collectors and sinners?' When he heard this he replied, 'It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick. Go and learn the meaning of the words: What I want is mercy, not sacrifice. And indeed I did not come to call the virtuous, but sinners.'" (Mt 9:9-13).
