My Dear People,In 2020 my predecessor Bishop Bill Wright decreed that the Sunday on or immediately prior to 15 September each year would be inscribed in the liturgical calendar of the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle as the ‘Perpetual Day of Remembrance’. Those familiar with the Church’s liturgical calendar would recognise that 15 September is also the day for “Our Lady of Sorrows”.

This is a quote from a recent Church declaration Dignitas Infinita on human dignity commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in December 1948. We don’t need to be convinced that we possess dignity – we just know that we have it. We are particularly aware of it when we sense that our dignity is being undermined or threatened.

Last September, I set out on one of my random evening adventures with my camera, not entirely sure where I'd end up. It was an unusually 'summery' evening here in St. John's, Newfoundland; winter comes early here, so I headed toward the coast. There's nothing I enjoy more than sitting beside the ocean and experiencing all the elements of its true, natural beauty. I remembered a little place I'd often wanted to visit but somehow never got around to it.

Growing up in a large family, I always had a sense of genuine hospitality. The way my parents would prepare before an out-of-town guest arrived, the way my family would jump in to ensure people felt seen and special, the way my parents would anticipate the way they’d like to be welcomed if they were the guest. I was lucky to grow up in this environment. As I entered the business world with my first job out of college, I very naturally employed this type of hospitality to customers and colleagues.

This is the basic task or mission of the Church and of every member of the Church: to preach the Gospel. If you’re not mad on that word ‘preach’ and don’t think preaching is for you, then you can change it for another verb, but the basic task remains the same: to share, to teach, to spread, or to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

“If you’re lucky, there are people in your life who are willing to listen to you talk in circles about the same bullshit for like eleven years and still choose to hang out with you.”“I am very lucky. Thank you.”I shared a meme on “insert social media here” with the guys on the Dad Time Out Show; my podcast, this morning. The meme perfectly summed up our relationships and discourse over the last three to four years.

While Christmas may not be our holiest day of the year, it is often our most joyful. For the birth of the child Jesus – the Son of God born in human flesh – expresses most tenderly the love that God has for us, his closeness to us, and his desire that we draw closer to him and to one another. Christmas and the child Jesus do indeed draw us closer together around him.
