My homily for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C) as preached during the 9.30am Mass in Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton.
The readings proclaimed were Exodus 17:8-13; 2 Timothy 3:14 – 4:2; Luke 18:1-8.
“Paul’s passionate call to Timothy is to proclaim the message, the message of Jesus Christ, and to do so consistently whether the time is favourable or unfavourable. It is in keeping with the great commission of Jesus to all of us to go, to make disciples, to baptise, and to teach – and to do so in that order.”
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.
