A beautiful Liturgy at St Mary and St Mina Cathedral in Sydney this morning with its wonderful Liturgical Choir, and afterwards, a lovely time presenting Nativity Feast gifts to adorable Sunday School children and attending part of a Crowning Service that followed for two of the parish’s spiritual children.

Today’s Gospel message:
Reflecting on the life of Saint Joseph, we see that he is seldom mentioned, or even noticed, in the story of the incarnation, yet he was pivotal to it, being entrusted with the wellbeing of the Incarnate Word and the Theotokos. We honour and give thanks for him, and for the thousands like him who fill our churches and communities today, quiet and unassuming, yet faithful and impactful.
