29th Sunday in Ordinary Time - year A Catholic Mission Sunday
Readings next weekend: Ex 22:20 -26, 1 Thes 1:5-10, Mt 22:34-40
In essence, Pope Francis’ recent encyclical, Fratelli Tutti – On Fraternity and Social Friendship, tries to lay out the reasons
why there is so much injustice, inequality, and community breakdown in our world and how in faith and love these can be
addressed. Continued from last weekend …...
2. Regarding our call to be missionary: Globalization has created new frontiers. As
missionaries, we are sent out to everyone, irrespective of geographical, ethnic, social, or
religious borders. Like the Good Samaritan our missionary eye must not distinguish our own
from what is foreign.
We must remain strongly rooted inside our history and our tradition, but we must be open to
what is new, what is foreign, and what stretches to where we have never been before.
And, in a time of bitterness, hatred, and animosity, as missionaries, we must be tender and
gracious, always speaking out of love and not out of hatred, even when being prophetic.
* “We can start from below and, case by case, act at the most concrete and local levels, and
then expand to the farthest reaches of our countries and our world, with the same care and
concern that the Samaritan showed for each of the wounded man’s injuries. Let us seek out
others and embrace the world as it is, without fear of pain or a sense of inadequacy, because
there we will discover all the goodness that God has planted in human hearts. ”
* [Our missionary efforts call] “for a ‘tender’ love Saint Paul describes kindness as a fruit of
the Holy Spirit (Gal 5:22). He uses the Greek word chrestótes, which describes an attitude that
is gentle, pleasant and supportive, not rude or coarse.”
* “Kindness ought to be cultivated; it is no superficial bourgeois virtue.”
3. Regarding our call to live within and minister through community: As Oblates, the idea
of living within and ministering out of community is constitutive part of our charism. From our
very foundation, our Founder recognized that to be effective, compassion must be collective,
bigger than any one person and bigger than any one person’s talents and charisma. The
encyclical calls us (indeed, calls the whole world) to this. It also reminds us that the call to be in
community with each other is the ultimate call given to us. The encyclical acknowledges how
difficult and counter-cultural it is today to sacrifice our own agenda, comfort, and freedom for
community, but invites us to make that sacrifice.
“Once more we realized that no one is saved alone; we can only be saved together. Unless
we recover the shared passion to create a community of belonging and solidarity worthy of our
time, our energy and our resources, the global illusion that misled us will collapse and leave
many in the grip of anguish and emptiness. A new lifestyle is emerging, where we create only
what we want and exclude all that we cannot.”
“I would like especially to mention solidarity which is a moral virtue and social attitude born of
personal conversion.”
Fr Ron Rohleiser OMI

Vinnie’s Expanded. Within a year membership had expanded to 100 and it became necessary to split the
conference (group) into three separate conferences. At the same time other conferences sprang up in Parishes around
Paris. In its first decade the Society spread to 48 other cities in France and Italy and numbered over 9,000 members.
After some years the Society reached Rome (1842), England (1844), Belgium, Scotland, Ireland (1845), the United
States of America (1846) and Australia on 5 March 1854.
In Australia, the Society was afforded official ecclesiastic recognition in Melbourne at the church of St. Francis on
the 3rd of April 1854 and between then and the turn off the century 14 Conferences were established, but
unfortunately not all survived.
The Society in South Australia was convened by Archbishop Reynolds in the May of 1884 and officially proclaimed
at St. Francis Xavier’s in December 1885.
There was only the Adelaide conference until 1901 when Hindmarsh, Norwood and Port Adelaide were formed.
Slowly the Society spread until by 1950 the total was 29 helping to assist the poor.
OCTOBER IS THE MONTH OF MARY
“How beautiful is the family that recites the Rosary every evening. The Rosary is my
favourite prayer. A Marvellous prayer! Marvellous in its simplicity and its depth”
St John Paul 11
Fr Groeschel said of Mather Teresa: “Even for Mother Teresa the Rosary was not only an
act of devotion but also a place of refuge at certain times amid interior storms of darkness”.
