With public masses and church meetings suspended, our Faith Sharing Group met for the first time on Zoom on Tuesday 12 January. We shared the theme, “The culture of care as a path to peace” based on the Pope’s World Day of Peace message delivered on 1 January. Our sharing always provides very interesting perspectives maybe because we come from different parts of the world. But all paths must lead to peace, and a good session ended with us being more aware of the need to adopt this culture of peace into our daily life. Our next meeting is scheduled for Sunday 7 February hopeful that public masses will be available again by then.
