God of outlandish ideas, we thank you for the gift God of outlandish ideas, we thank you for the gift of community, for people of faith who gather around your table.

May we be people of humble hospitality who share all we have in both its beauty and brokenness.

When we gather for the Eucharist
we always begin by saying, Lord Have Mercy.

We say it over again because we need to. We are all of us desperate.

May those words plant seeds of hope deep within us. That you throw open your heart to those in need and welcome us to a place of light and truth, laughter and honesty, acceptance and mission. Amen.

DOORWAYS INTO HOPE AND JOY AT ADVENT AND CHRISTMAS

Advent can remind us not to get too carried away w Advent can remind us not to get too carried away with wish lists and menus and stocking fillers. We know that some of our fellow Australians will not have the joy or abundance that we experience. Here we can be mindful of our spending and indulgence and perhaps we can offer what we can to those agencies who help those who are not as fortunate as we are. 

At Christmas time, at any time, the ‘What would Jesus do?’ question – and its answer – are more important than ever.

Can some of your Christmas excess be used for others?

‘In 1966, Simon and Garfunkel wrote the 59th Str ‘In 1966, Simon and Garfunkel wrote the 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy), famous for the lyrics ‘Slow down, you move too fast, you got to make the morning last.’ 

If life was considered fast in the 60s, how much faster is the pace of life today? Modern life is lived at a frenetic pace, and it has a way of sneaking up on us in such a way that we can fall into the trap of not questioning it. Often, I can respond to the question ‘How’s life going?’ by saying ‘Busy as always’, thinking somehow that’s an acceptable reply, indicating that I’m fully engaged and living a meaningful life. 

I’m grateful for all the reminders and invitations that come about from living in the present moment. To live mindfully and gratefully helps ensure that blessings don’t pass by unnoticed and unappreciated

and are burdened, and I will give you rest. 
Matthew 11:28 

Ever-present God,
You are always with us
offering strength and guidance on life’s course.
Give us humble hearts to trust in your way,
To know that safety and rest are found in your deep encounter with us.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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’ …

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.

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.

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.

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.
