In this second Lent talk, reflecting on the goodness of people that has shone forth in the wake of the devastating floods, Bishop Greg Homeming of the Lismore Diocese shares wisdom from St John of the Cross on how desire can bring meaning and integration – or chaos and disintegration – to our lives.
In this first Lent talk – delivered as the people of his diocese face the aftermath of the floods that have devastated the region – Bishop Greg Homeming draws on the life and writings of St John of the Cross to help us contemplate the possibility of hope in a time of apparent hopelessness.
