My homily for the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C) as preached during the 5.30 pm Saturday evening Mass in Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hamilton.
The readings proclaimed were Malachi 3:19-20; 2 Thessalonians 3″7-12; Luke 21:5-19.
“If we focus on trying to interpret the ‘signs and wonders’ in the world and their connection to the end of the world, we miss the opportunity given to us to be about the primary task of the Christian: to witness to the name of Jesus in the world, here and now.”
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.
