Naming of Fears
\n\"POSTER2small\"<\/h2>\n

Reflecting on this week\u2019s Scriptures<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This weekend we name our fears and concerns about leaving our familiar faith communities and our journey into the \u201cunknown\u201d. On their journey to the promised land, the Israelites grumbled as they struggled on their journey to the promised land. Paul challenged the Ephesians \u201cto be renewed\u201d and to \u201cput on a new self\u201d and Jesus called his disciples to go beyond signs of concrete proof and seek the \u201cbread of God\u201d which gives life to the world. We are all\u00a0invited to reflect on those scriptures, with all our fears and concerns, and to ask for the grace to seek the \u201cbread of God\u201d to bring life to our new parish.<\/p>\n

Naming of Fears<\/strong>
\nOur process of discernment has prayer and reflection on the Word of God at its heart. Over the coming weeks, the four Church communities of the pastoral area will discern how we are to live the vision of the Parish of Wellington South. As today\u2019s Gospel says, \u201cWhat can we do to accomplish the works of God?\u201d
\nBefore we can go deeper, we need to name the fears, doubts, and hesitations that people may have about the new Parish. What are the negative aspects? What are you concerned or worried about?
\nWe will collect what is offered and bring the fears of all our communities back to each Mass next week. We will pray, and reflect on the fears. This is a process of discernment, so we will not follow with discussion and debate. We will move into sharing our hopes before going deeper into how we will live our vision: \u201cWe are a community of joyful disciples, growing together and sharing Christ\u2019s message\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
