HeadlineThemeaning of Jesus… Fr Johnsays this reflection was first published in Perth's "TheRecord" about fifteen years ago and drew passionate responsesboth in favour of what he wrote and others wanting to haul him over hotcoals. Today he says he's not quite as angry as he was then with the institutionbut the thrust of what he wrote still holds. Rounding out his reflectionfrom last Saturday, he argues we need to find the Christ-child withinourselves. It's an argument inviting us to view Jesus as the model forour lives. [more]

John also wrote a series of reflections which we publishedthrough the Sundays of Lent in 2007. Here are links to those reflections...
