Just think about that statement for a minute. Better still, ponder this question: when have you experienced God’s desire for you? We talk a lot about God’s love but seldom about God’s desire for us and for a world remade in love.

Last Friday we marked the opening of Catholic Schools Week with a liturgy in the Cathedral that was a bit different. Indeed, some people said they got a bit of a shock. Many left saying, ‘best ever!’ Bring on more shocks I say!!

Happy Easter! For my friend Bernadette, new life abounds because on Easter Wednesday she became a grandmother for the first time! Little Joseph Samuel has transformed Bernadette and her family.

‘The Colour Purple’ is not only the title of one of my favourite books and the recently released film. For Christians, purple is the colour of Lent, the liturgical season which prepares us for and leads us into the Celebration of Easter. We are almost halfway through Lent 2024. This is a good time to pause and reflect on how we’re going.

The Chrism Mass is one of my favourite things. It’s big! It’s brassy! The voice of the faithful almost lifts the roof from the cathedral! The fragrance of Chrism fills the air. The cathedral and its precinct are abuzz with the joy of people meeting up from across the diocese. This is an opportunity not to be missed! Tuesday 26 March, 7.00pm at the Sacred Heart Cathedral. Come on down!
