CATECHISTS CALLED TO “LOVE WITH A DIVINE LOVE" AT COMMISSIONING MASS

By Rachel Curry

GOD WILL BE proclaimed to the world through acts of love, not powerful arguments, Vicar General Father Peter Whitely has told attendees at the recent Eucharist for Catechists at St Michael the Archangel Chapel in Leederville.

Attended by some 250 people on the evening of Tuesday, 11 October, the Mass included the commissioning and blessing of 45 catechists for the Parish Religious Education Program, Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and Personal Advocacy Service.

During his homily for the occasion, principal celebrant Fr Whitely drew on Pope Francis’ sermon from the recent Mass for the Jubilee for Catechists at the Vatican, held as part of celebrations for the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy.

Fr Whitely began by

speaking about Jesus’ two Great Commandments: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength’, and ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’.

He explained that these commandments were not really new, as they could be found in the first books of the Bible. What was new, however, was Jesus’ instruction that we show

divine love to one another.

“He commanded us to love one another as He has loved us. And how did He love us?

St John says: ‘As the Father has loved me so have I loved you’,” Fr Whitely said.

“The Father loved Jesus with a divine love. Jesus loved us as the Father loved Him, that is, with a divine love. He commands us to love our neighbour with that same love.”

This divine love became possible when Jesus rose from the dead and poured His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, Fr Whitely continued.

“As we nourish the life of the Spirit within us through prayer, through celebrating the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, and when we follow Jesus’ commandments, we will find the Spirit growing with in us, enabling us to love others as He has loved us, even to the extent of laying down our lives for them in the way that He did for us,” he said.

Fr Whitely concluded that when we love in this way, we are proclaiming God to the world, as catechists do when they instruct their students.

“It won’t be merely excellent and well prepared lessons that will have an effect on them,” he said.

2016 RCIA NATIONAL CONFERENCE

FR CHIERA DELVES INTO MULTIDIMENSIONAL

ASPECTS OF JOURNEY TO CHRIST

By Marco Ceccarelli

IT WAS A captivating and informative keynote presentation by Bunbury Diocese Vicar General, Father Tony Chiera, which officially set this year’s Christian Initiation Australia Network National conference in motion.

Held in Perth for the first time in 20 years, the conference was proud to present the local talent and expertise of Fr Chiera speaking on the conference theme: “Journey to the Source”.

Using a variety of quotations from the Bible, present and past Popes, Christian scholars and passages from the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), Fr Chiera delved into a number of dimensions of the journey of faith undertaken by those focusing on conversion of heart and mind to Christ.

Fr Chiera made it clear from the onset of his talk that while scripture tell us

that, thanks to the obedience of significant Biblical figures such as Abraham and the Virgin Mary, we are born into a journey and made for a journey, this “pilgrimage” is only purposeful in as much as it draws others onto the same path.

Quoting Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhor t at ion, Evangelii Gaudium, Fr Chiera emphasised that “Christians have the duty to proclaim the Gospel… they should appear as people who wish to share their joy; who point to a horizon of beauty and who invite others to a delicious banquet.”’

Fr Chiera further explored this notion, explaining that while Christians are called to draw others to the faith by being witnesses of Christ, they are essentially the means by which a “journeying God” summons people, calling them to Him, and slowly revealing Himself to them in the everyday events of their lives.

Vicar General of Bunbury Diocese, Fr Tony Chiera, recently delivered a captivating keynote presentation at the 2016 RCIA Conference, held in Perth from 6 to 8 October.

“This is beautifully expressed by Saint Augustine,” Fr Chiera said, “when he says that ‘Christ is bread seeking hunger’.

Fr Chiera went on to speak of other aspects and phases of the RCIA, often returning to the importance of the “community of the faithful” as an ever-present body of people that helps candidates

and catechumens throughout the process of initiation.

“The journey must be always with others because it is a vulnerable time, it is a ‘liminal’ or ‘in-between’ time of formation in which those journeying need fellow travellers supporting them.”

Padre Pio a true servant of mercy, Pope Francis Internationally renowned relics to visit Perth this weekend Saint Padre Pio is a key example of someone who has given his entire life in the service of God’s mercy Pope Francis has said, but cautioned that there is only one reason he was able to do so: prayer.

The Pope was speaking earlier this year during the visit of Padre Pio’s incorrupt body to Rome.

First class relics of Padre Pio are set to visit St Mary’s Cathedral this weekend, including a pair of Padre Pio’s gloves, his hair, a piece of his nails, a scab from the stigmata and a linen cloth that was used to wipe blood from his side wound.

The relics will be on display at the Cathedral from Saturday 22 October until Wednesday 26 October in connection with Masses on those days.

Cathedral Dean Mgr Michael Keating said visitation of the relics is timely during the Year of Mercy.

“I encourage everyone who is

looking for a special encounter, a particular experience of faith and of mercy to come and see the relics,” Mgr Keating said.

“For many people, this will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience, in faith, the life of Padre Pio.” In speaking about Padre Pio, Pope Francis went on to say that Padre Pio was a servant of mercy.

“He did so full-time, pract icing, at t ime s in exhaustion, the apostolate of listening,” the Pope said.

CATHOLIC MISSION STEPS UP CAMPAIGN

against human trafficking

By Rachel Curry

THE POWERFUL MESSAGE that every person can make a difference in the fight against human trafficking has inspired more than 70 attendees at the second Is She Safe? gathering hosted by the Catholic Mission Perth Office.

Held on Tuesday, 11 October to coincide with the International Day of the GirlChild, the event at St Thomas More College brought together experts and everyday supporters to advocate against the trafficking of humans and recognise the life changing benefits of girlchild education.

According to Catholic Mission, human trafficking is the second biggest illegal enterprise in the world, after the illegal arms trade, and Australia is a prime destination for people trafficked from countries

Through his ministry in the confessional, where he would at times spend 10-15 hours a day, the saint was able to become “a caress of the living Father, who heals the wounds of sin and refreshes the heart with peace.”

Pope Francis continued by saying that Padre Pio never tired of welcoming and listening to the people who came to him. He said the saint spent his time and strength spreading “the perfume of the forgiveness of the Lord.”

The only reason Padre Pio was able to do this, he said, is because “he was always attached to the source: he was continuously quenched

such as India, Thailand, Korea, the Philippines and Malaysia.

These people – who are often poor and vulnerable – are trafficked for servitude, slavery, debt bondage and organ harvesting, through forced labour in many industries including the sex industry, building industry,

hospitality industry and fishing industry, in private homes and through forced marriage.

The fight against this exploitative and abusive practice seems like a daunting task, but Sister Margaret Ng RSJ from the Josephite Counter-Trafficking Project told attendees at the event that

by Jesus Crucified, and so became a channel of mercy.”

St Pio of Pietrelcina, colloquially known as “Padre Pio,” was a priest of the Order of the Friars Minor Capuchin, a stigmatist, and a mystic, who lived from 1887-1968.

He was beatified in 1999, and canonized in 2002 by St. John Paul II. He was born in Pietrelcina, but ministered in San Giovanni Rotondo from 1916 until his death.

they should not feel hopeless.

“The important thing is you can make a difference. There are other like-minded groups who are working on this issue – Australian Catholic Religious Against Trafficking (ACRATH) is one of them,” she said.

“We get together and talk about issues that we come across. I’ve visited detention centres and have found people who have been brought over to work in the vineyards. We are the ones on the ground who see that and can contact someone.”

Vanesa Ghigi, an Australian Red Cross worker who supports survivors of human trafficking, agreed with Sr Margaret’s sentiment. She urged attendees to remain alert in their everyday lives to possible instances of exploitation.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES DEMAND

NEW APPROACHES TO EDUCATION

By Caroline Smith

DEVELOPMENTS in information technology have given teachers and students the opportunity to learn in many different ways – and this is something the education system needs to harness, says Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) Head of Digital Transformation Aidan McCarthy.

Speaking at the City of Perth Library on 18 October as part of Perth Knowledge Week, Mr McCarthy said new approaches to learning could be prompted by the ways in which students were already engaging with the world through new technology.

“All over the world, students are not only communicating and sharing, they’re also visually aware of what’s happening globally, in the media and in their own lives,” he said.

“So we’re seeing movement from teacher-led classrooms to project-based learning.

“Most countries are pursuing enquirybased learning in a more significant way. In one of our schools – Kolbe College in Rockingham – their whole year 9 curriculum has been completely changed to be in essence, challengebased learning.”

The program at Kolbe Catholic College incorporated the use of small groups, competition and reflection for students in the challenge based learning (CBL) program.

Teachers should be unafraid to use new technology across all areas of learning, Mr McCarthy said, adding that knowing how to do this was a challenge that education systems around the world were grappling with.

“There are some countries that will bring technology in just for assessments, and then put them back in the cupboard for the rest of the year, because they’re not

comfortable using them on a continual basis,” he said.

Instead, teachers could energise the learning process with platforms such as Skype, which could allow students to engage with experts in a particular area to gather information.

“In the digital era, we have experts all over the world, and you can bring them into the classroom,” Mr McCarthy said.

“I spent a lot of time with the Gnaraloo Turtle Team up north, and you can book any one of their four scientists, bring them into your classroom, and they’ll talk about the turtles, and topics like climate change, etcetera. These are real practical-style activities that students are really engaged with, so it brings that reality of their own discussions to life.”

Students could also make contact with other classes around the world through the use of Microsoft’s Mystery Skype program, he said.

Another technological benefit to education was the growing use of analytics, in which student-related

data could be used to shape teaching approaches and decisions about their schooling.

“It’s very hard to personalise the learning experience when you’ve got 25 to 30 students in a classroom, particularly when they come to class for the first time, but we have so little data about them,” Mr McCarthy said.

While the use of new technologies was encouraging students to think conceptually – a skill that was increasingly attractive to employers – schools and education departments would need to adapt by offering more flexible pathways, Mr McCarthy said.

“If we think about jobs of the future, we know that there are opportunities around conceptual skills, but what it means from an education perspective is that there’s a growing need to answer the question, what is our curriculum, and how does it need to change?” he said.
