TRANSCRIPT
From Fr. Bernie
The National Sorry Day (26th May) and National
Reconciliation Week (27th May – 3rd June) provide the opportunity to express our sorrow for the injustices and
sufferings of and pray for the well-being of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. The theme for
Reconciliation Week 2019 is Grounded in Truth, Walk together with Courage.
The Word of God for Today: The New Jerusalem The scene described in the second reading takes place after
the world has been destroyed and evil utterly vanquished. There is now a 'new heaven and a new earth' (21:1). Next,
the visionary John sees 'Jerusalem coming down from God
out of heaven'. This city, like the new heaven and earth, is entirely the work of God. In the new age, God is the
absolute origin of all things. Our reading omits the city's massive dimensions - a perfect
cube over nine miles in each direction! It has multiple
gates, signifying easy access; the twelve gates represent the twelve tribes of Israel, while the twelve courses of stone
that form its foundation are inscribed with the names of the twelve apostles. The structure, then, represents the people
of God in their fullness - yet the city is not identified with
the people. The visionary expresses some surprise at not seeing a
Temple - and this is indeed remarkable. Every city in the ancient world had at least one temple. For Israel its single
Temple, matching its belief in one God, was the sign on earth of God's presence among them (see Easter 4). It was
a visible sign of the invisible God, the nexus between
heaven and earth, the meeting place for God and humanity. It had graded areas of holiness corresponding to the
holiness of individuals. Moving outward from the centre: the Holy of Holies accessible only to the High Priest, then the
Holy Place for priests, then the Court of (Israelite) Men,
then the Court of Women, and finally, furthest away, the Court of Gentiles. Access to God was closely guarded. But,
in this City, there is no Temple! Why? The 'Lord God almighty and the Lamb' dwell there with unrestricted access
for everyone. Whereas in the old city the Temple
represented God's presence, now God's actual presence
replaces the Temple. The radiance of the divine presence also replaces sun and moon: there is no more darkness.
This vision fulfils the promise of Jesus in the gospel: Jesus and God will dwell with those who keep Jesus' words.

The Parish Feastival is not far away. The week, including the solemnities of Holy Trinity and Corpus Christi (June 16-
23), is set aside to celebrate the many facets of parish life,
in particular our multi-cultural identity. Our Australian Catholic life is enriched by the many faith gifts brought here
by the migrants who now call Australia home.

Stewardship “...do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” (John 14:27) Our limited human understanding cannot begin to understand the immense power of God. Instead of trusting in God, we think we can control every outcome. Do you want to make God laugh? Tell Him your plans. The next time worry, anxiety or fear creeps in, thank God for all He has given you and trust that He has a better plan for you
A Vocation View
A VOCATION VIEW: It is not that talents add up to a
vocation; but that a Vocation brings talents. The Spirit
of God lives within you!

Pope Francis to Young Christians: (in ‘Christus Vivit’ –
‘Christ is Alive’). Pope Francis concludes his exhortation by encouraging the
young to listen. Listening and accompaniment 291. There are many priests, men and women religious, lay
and professional persons, and indeed qualified young people, who can help the young with their vocational discernment.
When we are called upon to help others discern their path in life, what is uppermost is the ability to listen. Listening calls
for three distinct and complementary kinds of sensitivity.
292. The first kind of sensitivity is directed to the individual…
293. The second kind of sensitivity is marked by discernment.. 294. The third kind of sensitivity is the ability to perceive what is driving the other person…
295. In this way, discernment becomes a genuine means of
spiritual combat, helping us to follow the Lord more faithfully. 298. If you are to accompany others on this path, you must
be the first to follow it, day in and day out. That is what Mary did, in her own youth, as she confronted her own questions
and difficulties. May she renew your youthfulness by the
power of her prayers and accompany you always by her maternal presence.
And to conclude… a wish
299. Dear young people, my joyful hope is to see you keep running the race before you, outstripping all those who are
slow or fearful. Keep running, “attracted by the face of Christ, whom we love so much, whom we adore in the Holy Eucharist
and acknowledge in the flesh of our suffering brothers and
sisters. May the Holy Spirit urge you on as you run this race. The Church needs your momentum, your intuitions, your
faith. We need them! And when you arrive where we have not yet reached, have the patience to wait for us”.[164]
