Father Morrissey
celebrated all the weekend
masses at the Catholic
church. Does the gospel ask
too much of us with such a
narrow path to fotlow and
then burden us with guilt
when we fail'? We are severe-
ly tempted by the things of
this world, but Jesus assures
us that there are many rooms
waiting for us in Heaven. Our
hearts are troubled by our
faults and weaknesses, but
the gospel addresses us in our
sinful human nature, to tell us
that Christ is aware of our
problems. We must have the

Today, throughout our
Diocese, we are celebrating
what is called Land Sunday.
This provides us with the op-
portunity to reflect on God's
gift of nature and our respon-
sibility as stewards of the
resources of the land. Chris-
tian stewardship of earthly
goods in a modern society,
should involve a genuine
desire for the practice of
justice with regard to the
land. The church has always
recognized the need for
private ownership of land, for
