Gospel Reflections:<br />
Becoming More<br />
Fully Human<br />
Listen, Watch,<br />
Read, Think<br />
Music, movies, books<br />
and podcasts for the<br />
coming months.<br />
During the extended<br />
COVID-19 lockdown<br />
that gripped NSW<br />
in 2021, Monsignor<br />
Tony Doherty delivered a series of podcasts on the<br />
Sunday Gospels for the parishioners of St Joseph’s,<br />
Neutral Bay. This book offers these podcasts in written<br />
form, accompanied by the relevant Gospel readings, a<br />
simple guide on reading the Gospels, some fascinating<br />
information about the Gospel writers themselves, and<br />
intriguing references for further reading. You will find each<br />
reflection listed under its own heading, such as “The<br />
Stories which Shape Us”, “Why am I still a <strong>Catholic</strong>?”, and<br />
“The Plenary Council”. The reflections are exceptional; in<br />
his usual way, Tony has combined powerful depth with<br />
simplicity and relevance, aligning the Gospel messages<br />
with our current reality.<br />
The book is available for $25 by contacting<br />
