Fr Alan Roberts
At St Mary’s parish in Ōtaki recently, Fr Phil Cody sm preached a striking sermon on the New Zealand Catholic Bishops’ revised document, Te Kahu O Te Ora, published last September.
This document highlights the Church’s teaching on respect for all aspects of life. To illustrate the message, the Korowai was highlighted as the seamless garment protecting people at all stages of life, not just the beginning and end, but all the parts in between, such as poverty, war and those in prison. The document also touches on technology which develops rapidly before us.
I considered the homily to be so good I thought it worth recording. Fr Dennis Nacorda agreed to come to Ōtaki and record Fr Phil deliver it once more – this time in a more casual environment. It can be watched on your computers using this link: tinyurl.com/Kahu-O-Te-Ora
