My homily for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C) as preached during the 9.30am Mass at Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton.
The readings proclaimed were 2 Kings 5:14-17; 2 Timothy 2:8-13; Luke 17:11-19.
“God is always willing to lavish grace and gifts on us, to restore us to the fullness of life that God intended for us. How do we respond? Do we carry on without recognising what we have received? Or, like this other good Samaritan of today’s Gospel, do we fall on our knees and thank God? True salvation, freely offered to us by God, invokes a response of praise and thanksgiving in those who have received it.”
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.
