January 5, 2012 I'm passionate about .....
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard often
says
"I'm passionate about education".
In both Washington and Canberra
she and President Obama
had a happy gathering with school students
What about people who are trying to follow the
vision of Vatican 2?
What should we be passionate about?
Other items can be added (e.g: women's rights/rites;
education; religious freedom; priesthood; healing etc)
...and will be added if/when bloggers are found...(bloggers
needed!)
but surely these 7 are on the passionfruit list:
- the Bible
- climate change
- ecumenism
- evangelization
- the laity
- world peace
- world poverty
Am I passionate about reading the Scriptures?
Which is more important in my daily life: TheBook or FaceBook?
Am I interested in and informed about
the issue of climate change?
Am I a circle-the-wagons Catholic
or do I try to network with people of other denominations/faiths?
Am I as passionate about spreading the Good News
as the dedicated Jehovah Witnesses and young Mormons
who regularly knock on my door?
How often do I pray for peace in the world's trouble spots?
Am I less and less comfortable about my First World life-style
while an under-6 child dies of malnutrition every 5 seconds?
If www.v2catholic.com
is to be true to the vision of Vatican 2,
it must have regular articles about the above topics
Anyone like to help blog on these 5 topics?
A blog each week to help us become passionate about these essential issues
Seven special bloggers needed.
Most grateful if 7 or more volunteers would please help
Jesus, please move 7 hearts to join the bowlers/pitchers
of v2catholic.com
(update: Bible & Poverty bloggers
found:
thank you Judith Lynch and Bill Mulcahy.
Five more bloggers please Lord!)
