“'Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?' He said, 'The one who showed him mercy.' Jesus said to him, 'Go and do likewise.'” Luke 10:36-37
I find this verse very reliable and nice to read after a long day as it picks me up.

Adelaide to host second Australian Catholic Youth Festival in 2015
|
|
Dates: 3-5 December
Venue: Adelaide Convention Centre
Hosted by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference to engage and empower young people in the life of the Catholic Church, the festival is expected to draw more than 4,000 participants.
Bishop Anthony Fisher, OP, said "It is fantastic that we are able to hold the next Festival in Adelaide in 2015, and I invite all young people and their teachers and youth ministers from around Australia to make the pilgrimage to Adelaide."
The theme of the Festival is 'Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God' (Mt 5:8). This is also the theme chosen for 2015 diocesan celebrations in advance of World Youth Day 2016.
"I am particularly excited about the theme for the Festival as it allows us to experience the journey of st Mary MacKillop here in Adelaide. Mary was a woman who in the face of many challenges, kept her heart pure and focused on Christ," Archbishop Wilson said.
