Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. Each generation inherits the task of shaping  its own era, of guiding history to become a place where the dignity of every person is safeguarded, justice is promoted and fraternity is made possible. Yet every era also runs the risk of creating an inhumane and more unjust world. Whenever humanity is in danger of marring its true identity, we Christians lift our eyes to the Incarnate God, knowing that it is "only in the mystery of the Word made flesh that the mystery of humanity truly becomes clear. " In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. BAPTISMS Contact Fr. Sean.

Archbishop John's address centred on the indispensable role of Our Lady in salvation history and the joy that flows from her faith. Drawing on the deep theological connection between Mary and Christ, Archbishop John explained that everything the Church believes about Mary - the Immaculate Conception, the Virgin Birth, the Assumption - is inseparable from what she believes about her Son. At the heart of his address was a meditation on joy, especially the joy of Mary as the pattern of authentic Christian life. "Mary's joy comes from knowing and loving Jesus, and from making Jesus known and loved," he told pilgrims, calling cach person present to rediscover in themselves the confidence that they are a beloved child of the Father, adding that "each of us is the pearl of great price for whom the Lord Jesus gave everything "Travelling together is integral to discipleship", he said. "We accompany each other on the pilgrimage of faith, keeping Christ at the centre, rejoicing with Mary, and sharing  our stories as witnesses of hope. This characterises our ecumenical journey too, as we search for unity of faith and communion." EILEEN CUMMINS RIP We have been advised of the sad death of Eileen.
