THE GATHERING – Thanks
The Organising Committee of our recent ‘Gathering’ thanks all who played a part in organising or who participated in the event in any way. All help and support was appreciated.
A public meeting will soon be held to discuss the possibility of holding similar events in the future.
GOSPEL REFLECTION
At the time that Luke was writing his Gospel, the early Christian community was experiencing division. Households were indeed divided over whether to believe in this new Good News. It is not that Jesus was in favour of division; rather, not everyone was ready to accept his teachings and to acclaim him as Messiah.
‘I have come to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were blazing already!’ Jesus does not want division; he wants the flame of faith to burn strong and to spread across the earth. How he wishes it were blazing today; how he wishes we were so on fire with the Good News that the flame would pass on to those we meet. Pass on the flame of faith. The flame may burn bright or burn out, or the embers might be kept gently glowing for future reference.
