Pope Francis interview:
“Clearly the thing the church needs most
today is the ability to heal wounds and to
warm the hearts of the faithful; it needs
nearness, proximity. I see the church as a
field hospital after battle. It is useless to ask
a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about
the level of his blood sugars! You have to heal his wounds.
Then we can talk about everything else. Heal the wounds,
heal the wounds …. And you have to start from the ground
up.”
“… The dogmatic and moral teachings of the church are not
all equivalent. The church’s pastoral ministry cannot be
obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of
doctrines to be imposed insistently. Proclamations in a
missionary style focuses on the essentials, on the necessary
things: this is also what fascinates and attracts more, what
makes the heart burn, as it did for the disciples at Emmaus.
We have to find a new balance; otherwise even the moral
edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards,
losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel. The
proposal of the Gospel must be more simple, profound,
radiant. It is from this proposition that the moral
consequences then flow.”

AUSTRALIAN CATHOLIC YOUTH FESTIVAL
The Australian Catholic Youth Festival is a national gathering of Catholic young people established by the
Australian Catholic Bishops Conference. It exists to provide young people with opportunities to deepen their relationship with Jesus, be empowered to be disciples
in the world today and encounter and celebrate the vitality of the Church in Australia.
Young people from year 9 (in 2013) to young adults 25 years of age are invited to the event. Young people
under the age of 18 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult (see Registration conditions).
The Festival is aiming to gather over 3000 young people from around Australia. The Festival has taken a scriptural verse as its theme - ‘The Spirit of the Lord is
upon me’ Luke 4:18. This theme echoes the Australian Bishops vision for youth and youth ministry in Australia.
The Festival will be held in Melbourne, 5-7 December. The majority of the Festival at Australian Catholic Uni. (ACU) St Patrick’s Campus (Fitzroy Vic). One block
away from Melbourne’s St Patrick’s Cathedral, across the road from the birthplace of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop & around the corner from the Mary MacKillop
Heritage Centre (a museum for St Mary MacKillop).

HELP! The ‘OPEN THE CHURCH PLAN’ is faltering due to lack of regular Watchers. We need Watchers, particularly between 2.30—4pm. The ‘Plan’ is to have St Ignatius Church open one afternoon per month, and that is the last Friday. The purpose is ‘a quiet time with the Lord.’ The next occasion is Friday 29 November (nb we don’t ‘open’ in December). Anyone available and/or interested for this month or next year please phone Betty Andrews 3870 8867 for further information.
ATTENTION READERS The parish has purchased a limited number of the ‘New’ 2014 BREAK OPEN THE WORD books - AVAILABLE NOW at both churches. Cost: still only $10 – please place money in envelope inside the book & place it on the collection plate.
BREAK OPEN THE WORD has been a signature publication of Liturgy Brisbane since 1986. All readers know its value in supporting their ministry of proclaiming the word of God with clarity and conviction. But the 2014 edition is better than ever with all new content and an all new look! The revised commentary provides fresh and insightful background to the scripture passages and offers helpful assistance on how to read the text. The new Break Open the Word continues to feature readings (JB and NRSV translations) and psalms for each Sunday, a pronunciation guide and training material for readers.

OUR MISSION PRAYER
We, the St Ignatius community, are called to live the good news. We pray that we become the people that Jesus Christ called us to be. We pray that we know the Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit
through knowing Jesus in prayer, scripture and liturgy. We pray that we give hope to others by a practical, personal kindness, affirming each person's dignity, worth and destiny in Christ. May we live out this mission of our Christian vocation in the spirit of St. Ignatius.
We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only
think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love. We must look deeply in order to see and understand the needs, aspirations, and
suffering of the person we love. This is the ground of real love. You cannot resist loving another person when you really
understand him or her.
Real Love
