How true! Following on from last week, I have to say that it is just not people I can't rescue, no matter how much I want, but also institutions or organisations. I say this because I work for one - Caritas Thailand - and my role with NCCM (the Catholic Commission on Migration) within Caritas is one of leadership and no matter how perfect I may like it to be, I cannot rescue it in anyway or to any extent to make it perfect. That is not my role and I am not able to do that. Like my work with urban refugees, it is about doing what I can as best I can and being there to help.
As John XXIII used to say on going to bed (or so they say) - "It is your Church, Lord, I am going to bed".
I am John Murray, an Australian, Catholic priest of the Order of St Augustine. I live and work in Thailand and have been here since October 2005. I have many stories from my life journey and would simply like to share some of them. So hope you enjoy and go away sometime with a smile or a helpful little insight.
We gather
to give thanks for my 25 years.
