Fifth Gospel Living - Fr John O'Connor

It is a fact of Christian faith that Jesus Christ spoke two thousand years ago in a land we still refer to as ‘The Holy Land’. But it is also a fact of faith that Jesus Christ IS speaking and IS teaching, IS preaching and IS healing in our own time and in our own neighbourhoods.

Our lands are Holy Lands.

Therefore, instead of climbing our way to God, seeking to please and appease a God we perceive to live in distant heavens, God has come down to earth to be encountered in the nitty-gritty demands, duties and distractions of daily twenty-first-century living, and is in every place, accessible to every person in every moment.
