Today's Readings & Reflection
‘A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan while travelling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, “Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.” Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?’ He said, ‘The one who showed him mercy.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do likewise.’

| Year 3 of Pastoral Renewal |

|
|
In Year 3 of Pastoral Renewal, Bishop McGrattan calls us to kindle the fire of faith: to surrender our lives to Christ, strengthen family life, form missionary disciples, and become a Church of encounter and witness. Every small act builds something greater. Together, let us respond to God’s call and light the fire of renewal in our homes, parishes, and communities!
Watch the Bishop's video message! Every scene in this video was filmed here in our diocese, featuring our priests, religious sisters, and parishioners.
