Pope John Paul II wrote
‘to make the Church the home and the school of communion: that is the great challenge facing us now….if we wish to be faithful to God’s plan and respond to the world’s deepest yearnings’ (2001).
Our retreat is to promote a spirituality of communion in ourselves so that we can appreciate the need to strengthen our neighbourhoods in our parish.
‘Let us have no illusions: unless we follow this spiritual path, external structures of communion will serve very little purpose. They would become mechanisms without a soul, ‘masks’ of communion rather than its means of expression and growth’ (John Paul II—2001).

Sydney this week to examine applications for declaring some marriages null. To prepare for the session, I burnt the midnight oil in recent weeks reading and assessing 1,326 pages of evidence. The process shows how respectful the Church is of people when they say ‘I take you as my husband/wife’. Unfortunately, some people lack the ability to put their intentions into practice
