We do not simply recall that first holy night. We We do not simply recall that first holy night. We celebrate the presence of that story as a reality in our lives, a Christ story for all time. The joy of the nativity story is not just for a few weeks in December. It is for all year, every single day, when we try to be present to the people in our own lives, sharing the gift of ourselves, having time to unwrap our talents and share them fulsomely, finding that sparkle with which to illuminate all the other days of our year.

POPE LEO XIV
God of Creation, Christ of the Cosmos, and Spirit God of Creation,
Christ of the Cosmos,
and Spirit of Breath over the Ocean,
as we wait patiently, open our hearts,
make them brim with faith and hope.
Lead us from the wilderness
and bring us to rest in your saving love
as, with great joy,
we celebrate your guiding light this Christmas.
We ask this in Jesus’ name

Christopher White’s incisive reporting on the Vatican gives readers unparalleled insight and access into the highest levels of the church, along with the keen insights and invaluable observations that could come only from an expert like him.

Editor-at-large of America magazine

The Church is seeking a new engagement with people who identify as LGBTQIA+ and who often feel rejected by the Church. It’s not easy to see the way forward, but the journey starts with the ear... In what is offered here, Trish Hindmarsh helps us take a step in the right direction on the long journey of dialogue.

—Mark Coleridge

Archbishop Emeritus Brisbane

We at Garratt Publishing are proud to have produced Modern Australian Liturgies – the bold new resource that fulfils a need not addressed by traditional liturgies.

—David Hughan

CEO, Garratt Publishing

Perspectives by Chris Monaghan represents visually what made me fall in love with Australia and its Catholic Church: a tradition of a spirituality deeply embodied in nature and expressed in everyday wisdom.

—Prof Dr Massimo Faggioli

Professor of Theology and Religious Studies at Villanova University, USA

A practical and informative resource that is a fusion of Science, History and Christian belief and equips young people with knowledge and understanding to be able to make a difference in our world.

—Michelle Miller

Principal, St Mary MacKillop School, Wallaroo, SA

Who would have thought that the narrative history of a 40-year-old lecture series could end up distilling such a compelling digest of issues shaping the Catholic Church in Australia and far beyond? Yet in the hands of Julie Thorpe, key characters like Hélder Câmara and other annual lecturers are revealed as formidable influences on the Pilgrim Church, by shaping a ‘rough draft of the future’; by participating in ‘tradere’ …

—Geraldine Doogue AO

ABC broadcaster and journalist

The chapters on each beatitude offer practical and informed wisdom in a voice that is reflective and sees our connectedness with the world and the cosmos. This book is deceptively simple and is enriched by a long life of reading, teaching, thoughtfulness and prayer.

—Anne Benjamin DSG

Honorary Professor ACU, educator and writer

The challenge confronting the future of Catholic schools is how to maintain their unique identity for the benefit of pupils, families and nation. The person of Jesus Christ and his mission are the foundations of this identity. Teachers must not only know these foundations but be committed to living them. … I wholeheartedly recommend this urgently needed praxis-oriented book by two highly skilled and committed educationalists.

—Gerald A Arbuckle, SM

Author, Intentional Faith Communities in Catholic Education: Challenge and Response

The sacraments of initiation are major events in the faith journeys of Catholic children. How, then, to foster their understanding of these sacraments? How to lead them to celebrate the sacraments richly? Kathy Horan’s Becoming Catholic series offers an accessible, imaginative, and engaged way for children to prepare for these sacraments with their families and parishes. A helpful ‘parent’s guide’ explains the process and informs parents about the meaning of the sacraments.

—Rev Dr James McEvoy

Senior Lecturer in Theology, ACU Adelaide

Kathleen Donnellon has created a terrific resource. This is a really clear and engaging book on such an important topic. The anecdotes are excellent: candid and insightful.

—Virginia Bourke

Pro Chancellor, Australian Catholic University, Chair of the Board of Mercy Health

For too long, Australian churches – particularly the Catholic Church – have silenced and ignored the voices of women. In Her Voice showcases the diversity, rich theological understandings, and preaching talents of women. … It is my hope that In Her Voice, alongside the Australian Women Preach podcast, will play some part in correcting the current inaction regarding the marginalisation of women in Australian churches.

—Dr Tracy McEwan

Ex-vice-president of WATAC Inc. and co-convenor of the Australian Women Preach team
