Plenary Council 2020 – Listen
to what the Spirit is saying.
Pope Francis has approved the Austral-
ian Bishops’ decision to hold a Plenary
Council in Australia in 2020 and 2021. It
is a significant moment for the Church
in Australia to make decisions about the
future. To prepare the agenda for the
Plenary Council, all of God’s people are
invited to reflect on the question: “What
do you think God is asking of us in Aus-
tralia at this time?” Find out more about
the Plenary Council 2020 at the new
website now online:

Pentecost Sunday
- Year B
Reflection Pentecost brings the Easter season to a close, celebrating the fullness of the Spirit and the great gathering of nations. The plan of salvation has been brought to its conclusion. The Risen Lord is exalted in his rightful place next to God and has sent his own Spirit to fill the earth with God’s power. The world is charged with divine energy; it needs but a spark to ignite it with life and excitement. If this has all really happened, why does our world look the same? Why is there so much religious and ethnic rivalry? Why do we continue to make distinctions between Jew and Gentile, slave and free, woman and man, distinctions that favour one at the expense of the other? Why is there so little peace, or comfort, or solace? Why do we refuse to forgive or to be reconciled? Is Pentecost merely a feast that we celebrate in red vest-ments? Has the face of the earth really been renewed? The answer is yes! Resoundingly, yes! The Spirit has been poured forth and works wonders wherever human hearts are open to its prompting. The earth is renewed each time rivalries are resolved, distinctions are rec-ognised as merely expressions of diversity, peace is restored, comfort and solace are offered, and forgiveness is granted. We are immersed in the vigour of the Spirit of God; all we have to do is open ourselves to it and the reign of God will be born in our midst. @ Dianne Bergant CSS
