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 />

tdoherty.magdalene@bigpond.com.<br />

All proceeds from book sales go to the Brigidine Asylum<br />

Seekers Centre in Melbourne, which provides hospitality,<br />

friendship, and practical sustenance to people seeking<br />

asylum in Australia.<br />
