31^st Sunday of the Year

Pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero,

and that deems the glittering conqueror bountiful.

Kahlil Gibran, from The Garden of the Prophet

I do not remember where I saw these lines: ‘I sought God and (him) I did not see. I sought my soul, but it eluded me. I sought my neighbour and found all three.’ These lines bring together the fundamental affirmations that love of God and neighbour are at the heart of everything. For Jesus the love of God and love of neighbour cannot be separated.

Story telling through film is a powerful medium to change minds and change lives. Last week the Edmund Rice Centre became a film set for aspiring filmmakers from the Australian Film,Television and Radio School with their student production ‘Juice January’. We wish the production team all the best with the final edit and look forward to seeing the end product.
