NATSICC SUNDAY

Faith Story: Evelyn Parkin

Up until the age of about fourteen, I grew up on

an Aboriginal Community on the outskirts of

Dunwich, Stradbroke Island, called ‘One Mile’.

Our homes were alongside a fresh-water creek

that meandered its way down to the salt water’s edge. This is the place where all the

children played and swam until we got called home. Today we call our place

‘Minjerribah, Quandamooka Country’ and ‘Yulu-Burri-Ba—The People of the Sand and

Water.

One of the things I would like to share is my spirituality that was nurtured in a way

that was part of my everyday living. There was no name put to these things or lots of

words around me, no, it was about following Mum on our walks either to visit family

where we would sit under a shady tree, go to the cemetery to attend to the graves or go

for walks in the bush.

You can imagine, in that time, I only heard the sounds of locusts, parrots, hawks,

curlew and many other kinds of birds. It was all about looking and listening as we

walked along the sand tracks that took us over the hill to the edge of the swamp

gathering flowers.

I remember watching the tide and, noticing when it turned to come in, we would

gather our sugar bags and work our way back home. Silence, sensing things, and the

quietness around me were very big parts, not that I knew it at the time but as I said it

was my way of life.

My Catholicism goes back to 1843 when four Passionist Fathers came to Stradbroke

Island. The Passionists began the first Aboriginal Catholic Mission in Australia. They

were here for only three years and it was recorded as an unsuccessful mission. Well,

today, I can say this is, no doubtedly, one of the sources of my Catholicism and that the

Missionaries may not have seen any fruits of their labour but we can only say they had

planted the seeds of faith. Amen.

My spiritual life has been a great passion, guiding me to search, to achieve Certificates

and Diplomas of Christian Leadership and to gain a Masters of Theology to finally

teaching theology at WontulpBi-Buya College. All these experiences and much more

together connected me with my own inner spirituality that I now cannot separate

either because it is who I am and my journey with God, our Creator, his Son Jesus and

the Holy Spirit entwining it all with Mother Earth and the whole of the Cosmic

Universe.

REFLECTION

At the very end of Luke’s Gospel, Jesus’ final instruction to the disciples is to proclaim the Good News to all the nations (Lk 24:47). In today’s text, it is almost as if Jesus is throwing them into the deep end! They are sent out on their first missionary assignment as raw recruits, with little to help them, but the lessons they learn here will be greatly needed later. Whatever they seek to achieve in Jesus’ name, they are given the assistance they need. Jesus, however, reminds them that the crucial factor is not that they are powerful or that they are successful. What really matters is that they are doing the will of God, in Jesus’ name, and it is this which is the reason for their ultimate salvation.

How have you been received into the family of God’s people?

In what ways are you called to spread the Good News to others?

The Summit Vol 43 No. 2

PRAYER FOR RAIN

O God, the earth is thirsty for rain and we wait for you to refresh the land and all its creatures, the rivers and lakes, the crops

and gardens. Send abundant rain, we pray, and teach us

to be better stewards of all the blessings you provide, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
