Edition 66 | 18th May 2022

In this edition of The Soul we explore the concept of commitment. In the Mission space, this is a daily choice to allow ourselves to be open and led by the Spirit. The Mission of Catholic Education in The Diocese of Lismore is a marathon, not a sprint.  We need to journey together while remaining focused, firm in faith and strong in resolve; especially when the task feels overwhelming and the fruits of our work intangible. 

This fortnightly edition also features Laudato Si Week (May 22- 29) and National Sorry Day (May 26). Both the care of our Common Home and Reconciliation with our First Nations people is complex, nuanced work that may seem slow and arduous. We have a long way to go, but we have made progress and need to remain committed to restoring our relationship with the Earth and our First Nations People, who continue to experience intergenerational trauma and socio-economic disadvantage.
