CURRENT ISSUE: May/June 2008

Our cover
‘Send out your Spirit and renew the Earth!’ (Psalm response for Pentecost). As the great gathering and celebration that is World Youth Day approaches, we pray that this cry of the psalmist touches the hearts of all of us with a spirit of true renewal and commitment.

Highlights

Soul Matters — Chris Gleeson SJ
Homing and letting go. At the Ascension Jesus returned to his Father. Every homecoming means also leaving the place we were in – there’s a mix of joy and sorrow.

Tête à Tête — Mary Manning
Preaching the Word of God. Mary Manning interviews the great Franciscan preacher Bernardine of Siena.

The power of story — Elizabeth Pike
An Eagle aiming high. David Wirrpanda of the West Coast Eagles, grandson of pastor Sir Douglas Nicholls, is doing much for his people through his Wirra foundation.

Bread for the Journey — Peter Steele SJ
Keep in touch. Renowned radio broadcaster Garrison Keillor finishes one of his weekly segments with ‘Be well: do good work: and keep in touch’. These are perfect sentiments to mark the feast of the Ascension.

Faith & spirituality in review — New books.

A meditation on the scripture readings for every day of the month.
