📣 In , warns that technical power alone “does not make us more capable: it makes us more isolated, and more exposed to the logics of domination and exclusion.”
👉 He therefore calls us to “allow technology to advance without causing the human heart to regress.” The growth of technological power must remain directed toward the common good, justice, and care for the vulnerable and for creation. (MH 112–114; 126)

This weekend we celebrate The Most Holy Trinity. Every time we bless ourselves or begin prayer with the sign of the cross, we reaffirm our belief in the Trinity. That seemingly simple prayer, ‘In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,’ is, in fact, a confirmation of our belief in a triune God – three in one.

Di fronte a nuove forme di disumanizzazione, abbiamo il dovere urgente di restare profondamente umani, custodendo con amore quella magnifica umanità che ci è stata donata e che nessuna macchina potrà mai sostituire nel suo splendore. 🫂
⚠️ Non costruiamo un’altra Babele, diventiamo costruttori di comunione! 🤝

This weekend we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. We also celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit into our hearts at Baptism and Confirmation. To each of us is given a particular manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. The gifts of the Holy
Spirit should never be seen as a personal possession, or as a source of boasting or pride. They are given for the building up of the body of Christ. To read our parish bulletin, please go to www.ololparish.org.au

This weekend we commemorate Jesus’ Ascension into heaven. Jesus’ return to the Father does not however, mean that he is no longer with us. While Christ is with us in spirit, we are now the hands and feet and heart of Christ in our world. It is us who must go out and proclaim Christ to the ends of the earth. It is through us that people will meet the risen Christ. To read our parish bulletin, please go to www.ololparish.org.au.

This weekend we celebrate the Sixth Sunday of Easter. Throughout the gospel of John, we are reminded of the enduring relationship between Jesus and the Father. A number of times, Jesus announces that he and the Father are one. In today’s passage, Jesus also says to the disciples that they can share in this relationship of love. When Jesus speaks about anyone who ‘loves’ him, he speaks about anyone who lives by his message and seeks to be like him. Anyone who does that will share in the love that exists between the Father and the Son. That invitation is open for each of us today as well.
