My homily for the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C) as preached during the 5.30pm Saturday evening Mass in Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton.
The Scriptures proclaimed were Genesis 18:20-32; Colossians 2:12-14; Luke 11:1-13.
“The Lord’s Prayer is a wonderful yet dangerous prayer that reminds us that before all else God and God’s agenda comes first. When we pray using the Lord’s Prayer we open ourselves to playing our part in God’s plan for humanity.”
A presbyter (priest) of Maitland-Newcastle, and a student of life and of the world with many eclectic interests, I am always seeking to understand the world around me. I am engaged in inner city parish pastoral ministry based in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, and seek always to proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of God and to assist others to do the same in their own way.
With extensive experience in preparing for and executing liturgies and other ritual events, I am privileged to serve the broader Church through serving in a number of liturgical roles for the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle.
