Join John Kleinsman, Kath Petrie & John Coulam in conversation reflecting on the scriptures for the Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time.
This Sunday is also Support Life Sunday and the NZ bishops’ resources for this Sunday are available at this link.
Kath refers to the song The Wedding Banquet which you can hear at this link.
John K quotes Magnifica Humanitas paragraph 212: “At this point, however, a subtle temptation may emerge, namely the thought that the problems are too big and we are too small, and that our choices, therefore, cannot make a difference. This is a polite form of resignation, often disguised as realism. Certainly, not everyone has the same power to make a difference. There are those who govern, make investment decisions, lead institutions, conduct research, educate, produce or provide information, and then there are those who only seem to live their daily lives. Yet, no one is without responsibility. We all have our own areas for action, and it is precisely there — and nowhere else — that we must choose whether to fuel the mentality of force (even if only through indifference, cynicism, lies or hatred), or to preserve the mindset of peace (with truth, moderation, closeness and care).”
