2. Faith Facts - Week 7, Term 3 2023

 Welcome to the end of Week 7 Term 3

Thank you Ruma Hoiho for leading the Mass this week! Next week Ruma Kiwi are our leaders.

Next week is Social Justice week.  Here is a message from Pope Francis to help us reflect on Social Peace in our lives.

LAUDATO SI’ REFLECTION – Social Justice Week and the Season of Creation

-What brings about Rangimarie/Peace in our Te Ao/World?  

Francis says - LS#156-7: “An integral ecology is inseparable from the notion of the common good…

“Underlying the principle of the common good is respect for the human person as such, endowed with basic and inalienable rights ordered to his or her integral development. It has also to do with the overall welfare of society …[including] the family as the basic cell of society.  Finally, the common good calls for social peace, the stability and security provided by a certain order which cannot be achieved without particular concern for distributive justice; whenever this is violated, violence always ensues. Society as a whole, and the state in particular, are obliged to defend and promote the common good”.

St John the Baptist was a contemporary of Christ who was known for preaching about God and baptising Jesus. John began public ministry around 30 AD, and was known for attracting large crowds across the province of Judaea and around the Jordan River. 

When Elizabeth was pregnant with John, she was visited by Mary, and John leapt in her mother.
