The ACBC Office for Justice, Ecology and Peace expresses its solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We all need to hear their on-going calls for healing and justice.

Let us entrust to the intercession of the Mother of God the universal desire for peace, in particular for tormented Ukraine, which suffers greatly. With God’s help, peace is possible; disarmament is possible. May Our Lady help us to convert ourselves towards God’s plans.

For your sakes Christ became poor. Cor 8:9 Pope Francis says the state of the world is a chance for us not to give up but to renew ourselves and our shared sense of purpose. To search for new solutions, led by the poor: vatican.va/content/france…
