The USA edition of Book of Blessings has “1828 This order is not intended for the institution of readers by the bishop who uses the rite contained in the Roman Pontifical.” There are clearly two different ceremonies. One makes someone an “instituted reader” the other does not. Perhaps reading the 1972 Motu Proprio of Saint Paul VI “Ministeria quaedam” would be helpful. It created the ministry of instituted lector. Regarding catechists the Book of Blessings was published before Pope Francis created “instituted catechists”. He wrote “I establish the lay ministry of Catechist” in Antiquum Ministerium of 10 May 2021.

This is such a great explanation. Thank you!

Thankyou. Father.

Best place to perform welcome to country is outside of centerlink!

Banging on about bs!

This video is amazing, would I be able to use it in some educational material?

I started out as No, and the more I research the more I am No. One man who stood next to the PM when he announced the referendum wording is Mr Thomas Mayo who sits on the PM's Referendum Working Group which drafted the referendum question. Mayo published his book titled "The Voice to Parliament Handbook". His signature is on the Uluru Statement and he has spent 18 months travelling around Australia trying to talk Australians into changing the Constitution to include the Voice. He is a union official and self-described “militant” on record as saying the Voice will “punish politicians”, “abolish colonialist institutions” and “pay the rent, pay reparations and compensation”. Rather than the Voice being the “inspiring and unifying Australian moment” and "modest request" described by the PM, Mr Mayo told a Communist conference “there is nothing that we can do that is more powerful than building a first nations’ Voice, a black institution, a black political force to be reckoned with”. At a 2021 "Invasion Day" protest he described “the powers that be” as “murderers”, and said he was “sick of governments not listening to our voice” so planned “to use the rulebook of the nation to force them”. At Black Lives Matter protests and other addresses he reveals the Voice’s radical origins in the Search Foundation which describes itself as the “successor organisation of the Communist Party of Australia”. Here's a quick summary on Mayo- kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqa2hK2vndtqfdk

It starts with me.. I am responsible for what I have done knowingly or not knowingly. God is a shield, he can protect. but I am responsible for my actions and how they impact everything around me. If the buck stops here, then I myself am responsible for what I have done or not done. If everyone becomes responsible for their own actions and are accountable to everyone then it is acceptable to know what you do today or tomorrow is what you have created. Don't blame God for destruction of our world.. It's our own doing.

Laudato si is one of the most beautiful documents I have ever read, this goes for all of Papa Francis' writings. Keep up the good work, praying for more people to become aware of our call as Christians to care for our common home.

Confused thinking, inability to separate out the key issues. “It’s all terrible and it’s the fault of the climate changes we have caused”. Eh? Nonsense.

Amen Father!

beautiful worship voices cry out to God all the earth! who is this singing? :)

Well done Bishop Tim and Robert Bush for this informative and challenging presentatrion. I have shared it widely across faith and environment networks as it lays the groundwork for collaboration and co-operation across diverse communities.

Great message Bishop Tim, sounds like a great initiative

I am a Refugee here in Malawi, how can I do to get resettle in Australia ?

I am pleased that the Brisbane archdiocese is encouraging people to become instituted ministers. I made a video about how an instituted lector is different to other lay readers, comparing them to deacons. Vestments. The Deacon has special vestments that distinguish him from others in the ceremony. He wears a stole, as a sash, while the Priest wears it a different way. He wears a vestment called the dalmatic, different to the chasuble that a Priest wears. An instituted lector is required to wear vestments, at some Masses, as explained in the Introduction to the Lectionary for Mass, n. 54: “During the celebration of Mass with a congregation a second priest, a deacon and an instituted reader must wear the distinctive vestment of their office when they go to the lectern to read the word of God. Those who carry out the ministry of reader just for the occasion or even regularly but without institution may go to the lectern in ordinary attire that is in keeping with local custom.” Not all Masses have a congregation. But for those Masses that do, the instituted lector must wear vestments. Being in the sanctuary. A deacon will be in the entrance procession at Mass and then remain in the sanctuary. He would not sit in the pews with the congregation. Similarly an instituted lector is to have a place in the sanctuary with the other ministers, as it say in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal, n. 195, the instituted lector is clearly required to be in the sanctuary for the whole of Mass. It describes the entrance procession and concludes with “Then the reader takes his own place in the sanctuary with the other ministers.” It is clear from the General Instruction of the Roman Missal, n. 99, that this is a description of the instituted lector’s function. What is the sanctuary? This part of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal explains it, from n. 295: “The sanctuary is the place where the altar stands, the Word of God is proclaimed, and the Priest, the Deacon, and the other ministers exercise their functions. Is should be appropriately marked off from the body of the church either by its being somewhat elevated or by a particular structure and ornamentation.”

Sat through this homily. Was enthralled until the lecture on Climate. I’m still waiting for you as the head of our holy Catholic Church here stand up against the horrors of abortion in this Godless state of Queensland. Heard no sermon decrying the Qld Government promoting Abortion to birth for whatever reason . This is State sanctioned infanticide . You’ve said nothing and all we get us this. This planet is not dying but our souls are dying because our shepherds only give us these babbling sermons. Stand up for our most vulnerable innocent the unborn! We implore you. But all we get is babble. We call upon the Holy Spirit to give you words to speak out against this atrocity. It’s on the website too that if an abortion fails and a baby is born alive they should not be saved but kept warm and left to die. Where is your care for the human dignity for these babies. Gods stewards are to look after these babies and their mothers in helping them to look after their babies. Appalled at your lack of voice. This is the great lament of the ruined garden and you do nothing.

👋👋👋

Great homily +Mark!

ᴘʀᴏᴍᴏsᴍ 🤗

i like your video

Is it not the Cardinals Archbishops and Bishops position to do this as they have studied theology.🙏✝️

We seem to do a lot of talking but these things come and go without any concrete result

Thank you so much Cynthia, Dean and Sabrina .... to Mark also. I respond with gratitude, sorrow, determination and hope.

The TRUTH....26th January 1788 - First Fleet Orgy Day that went on for 3days -God only knows what the Indigenous far more highly moral people thought! Sorry! change the Date ,acknowledge the crimes so we can truly be one! This the truth ! ....I am married to a Indigenous woman 44yrs with 2 fine Indigenous sons. As a Messianic Jew I understand crimes against humanity......We do not celebrate Orgy Day! the start of the abuse & genocide! .......Shalom

26th January 1788 - First Fleet Orgy Day! This 3 day event we celebrate? Disgusting -God only knows what these Indigenous & far more highly moral people thought! Change the date & acknowledge the crimes so we can truly be one!.....Shalom

26th January 1788 -First Fleet ORGY Day- disgusting shameful day - only God knows what the Indigenous people thought of a 3 day orgy we now celebrate! Change the date & acknowledge the crimes against the true owners of our remarkable country so we can eventually be one!

There is a great opportunity to listen to Indigenous voices in Brisbane at the Invasion Day rally on January 26th at Queens Park 9.00am. You will hear the human voices of struggle, abuse, loss of culture and disconnection from land. Thanks to Cynthia, Dean and Sabrina for your sharing your perspectives.

Great! 👋😀

Love your work EB Team!!

Way to go Matthew!!

I’ve cooked from the Mathew Hayden cook book. Pizza bread! God be with us all!

“It can transform our lives”... ? What are you saying? Sometimes it doesn’t work? Baptism does transform our lives, if we know it or not, if we response to its grace or not.

worth noting that the parallel with the US is not between Australian Aboriginal people and African Americans, but with our two indigenous populations. The American First Nation peoples have suffered in exactly the same ways our Aboriginal peoples have, but remain relatively hidden in the debates around racism.

Thanks to Archbishop Mark, Cynthia and many other clergy, Murri Ministry leaders, Religious and Lay people whose awareness built up over time through experiences, learning, relationships, dialogue and efforts have brought us as an Archdiocese to be able to have this RAP document. May it help us in our local communities to learn our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories beyond what we think we know and their impact upon our contemporary circumstances. To get to know Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who live locally but may not be members of our community would be a great connection. Together, with input from our local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander elders and community members, we could make ISMART goals to cultivate respect, relationships and opportunities which will enrich all in faith, hope and love.

A very wise and articulate aborigine. Thank you for Your information.

Thanks to Archbishop Mark and Cynthia Rowan for this insightful, informative and challenging interview. As Cynthia acknowledges there are already great initiatives happening within the Archdiocese. There is a call for a new culture in our relationships, structures and practices. Much of the groundwork in the Archdiocese has been done over many years by Murri Ministry who have provided resources and education on the central action steps of the Reconciliation Action Plan.

A Bible book = compendium of folk tales and fables! recounted orally for generations by primitive tribes from the stone age. This is the Old Testament. The new Testes is hearsay as these gospels were written by the faithful not by objective historians of that particular time. There are no gods.. ! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/cogs.12138 Keep Lies of gods away from children.. ! Forcing religious beliefs onto children is a form of child abuse, which scars their ability to reason and also limits their ability to consider the world in an unbiased manner. ''...exposure to religious ideas has a powerful impact on children's differentiation between reality and fiction, .''"" --------------------------------- Your Bable book is nothing more than a 'historical novel'! Fables within historical settings and with real people of history... Pharaohs and Egypt did exist; Moses and the 'exodus never happened in reality!! Bible stories are not good for children: churchandstate.org.uk/2017/05/protect-children-from-the-bible/?fbclid=IwAR1E6uPMB6Xg4-XJ3_Qy0aTuW79khjtJ3DESjsys7Fd9TP3LivWWLx2Vcn8

Now let's tell you a story about a man named Jesus: A god assaulted, by proxy, inseminated a 'virgin' named Mary, in order to bring his son incarnate into our world. A cowardly action.... Mary and her fiance?, ....Joseph, had to travel to Bethlehem to register for the census. There Mary gave birth to a son of a god.? God put a star in the sky to guide people to the baby? In a dream God told Joseph to take his family to Egypt. Then this God stood by and watched as Herod killed thousands and thousands of babies in Israel in an attempt to kill Jesus. (wow!) As a man, God's son claimed that he was God incarnate: "I am the way, the truth and the life," he said. This man performed many 'miracles'. He healed lots of sick people. He turned water into wine. These miracles prove that he is God? Miracles?? But he was eventually given the death sentence and killed by crucifixion. His body was placed in a tomb. But three days later, the tomb was empty. And the man, alive once again but still with his wounds (so anyone who doubted could see them and touch them), appeared to many people in many places. Then he ascended into heaven and now sits at the right hand of his god the father almighty, never to be seen again. Today you can have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus. You can pray to this man and he will answer your prayers. He will cure your diseases, rescue you from emergencies, help you make important business and family decisions, comfort you in times of worry and grief, etc. This man will also give you eternal life, and if you are good he has a place for you in heaven after you die. The reason we know all this is because, after the man died, four people named Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote accounts of the man's life. Their written attestations are proof of the veracity of this story. This is the story of a Jesus. Do you believe this story? You are Delusional However any debate on this is useless since a god needs to be proven - First.

Great message Peter!
