On this very hot summer’s day which is known as Australia Day, I remain inside at my desk and begin the year with this first message to you. I do not wish to enter into the dialogue/debate around Australia Day but will share with you the reading from Isaiah (32:15-18), for this day. Each year when this is read I am touched by its beauty, relevance and meaning for us as a people of God in this place.

I don’t imagine there were too many priests in our diocese who wore rose coloured vestments on Sunday to mark the third Sunday of Advent or what we call Gaudete Sunday. The term Gaudete refers to the first word of the Entrance Antiphon, Rejoice – “Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say, rejoice. Indeed, the Lord is near.” Rose vestments are worn to emphasise our joy that Christmas is near, and the rose candle on our Advent wreath is also lit.
