(Eph 2:20)

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This year we will celebrate 125 years since the laying of the foundation stone of the old St Michael’s Church at Waterloo (NSW). This
blessed Church was the very first Melkite Greek-Catholic Church in Australia. For generations of our Melkite Catholic Faithful, the
old St Michael’s was the heart of our Faith Community; it was our cornerstone.
Consider for a moment the power of words. As He walked along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, Jesus encountered several
fishermen, each undoubtedly experiencing the frustration of a night spent with no success. “We have worked all night and caught
nothing.” (Lk 5:5) The few words spoken by Jesus in response to Peter’s disappointment were hardly a speech or an address, and yet,
they were to change the course of human history: “Put out into deeper water, and let down your nets.” (Lk 5:4)
We sometimes forget that the miraculous catch of fish was only the first part of a longer process - the fish had still to be brought to
shore with the help of several others. (Lk 5:7) Last year, it was those very words of our Lord that we chose as the theme for our calendar and the year’s activities.
This year, I hope that we will consolidate the positive outcomes of the last twelve months. The harvest, whatever and wherever it may be, is great and it waits to be
gathered in. (Mt 9:37) It is not sufficient to experience God’s grace-filled bounty, and then do nothing about it. St James reminds us that faith without works is dead.
(Jas 2:14-6) There can be few endeavours worthier than the strengthening and building up of our Faith Community.
Most of us are not familiar with many aspects of daily life at the time of our Lord. Amongst the many scriptural images less common today are those of cornerstone
and foundation stone. In Sacred Scripture, however, foundations are mentioned at least sixty-one times; as well, there are eleven references to cornerstones.
The cornerstone was that stone block from which the orientation of a building was made and from which the basic measurements were taken. The cornerstone was
the first step in the construction of a building; and, it can be said that the cornerstone was the formative component. Thus, in the Letter to the Ephesians, St Paul
was able to say that the Church is “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.” (Eph 2:20)
In the Gospel of Matthew (8:24-27) and in that of Luke (6:46-49), Jesus describes the wise man as the one who builds his house on rock. It is, of course, that the
rock itself is the teaching of Jesus put into practice.
This year will be a year of looking back, we will reflect upon the last 125 years of organised Melkite Church life in Australia. However, it must also be a year of
preparing for the future.
My very dear Friends, I commend this liturgical calendar to you as we pray our way through the year. As we give joyful thanks for the past 125 years, let us continue
to build a future upon that Foundation Stone which is our Lord Jesus Christ.
With prayers assured and with my paternal blessing,

Robert Rabbat

Troparion of St Rita, Patroness of the Impossible Cases

In you, O Mother Rita, was restored the likeness of God, for you carried your cross and
followed Christ. You taught by your deeds how to spurn the body, for it passes away, and
how to value the soul, for it is immortal. Wherefore your soul is forever in happiness
with the angels.

O Captains and Leaders of the armies of heaven, unworthy as we are, we beseech you
without cease to surround us with your intercessions and cover us beneath the shelter of
the glory of your ethereal wings. We bend our knee and cry out with
perseverance: “Deliver us from danger, O Princes of the Powers on high!”
