 'More Than Memories' is a reflective Marist anthem that honors the founding spirit of the Marists (laity, missionary sisters, sisters, priests and brothers ) while calling listeners to live that same mission today. Written for the bicentenary, the song celebrates the imagination, faith, and courage of the early Marists who responded to Mary’s gentle call. It reminds us that memory alone is not enough—each new generation is invited to breathe Mary’s spirit anew, respond to a world in need, and continue the Marist story with love, hope, and action. | | | 24 June 2025
 tan Grant, a respected Wiradjuri and Kamilaroi journalist, has transitioned from a decades-long media career into theology and spiritual reflection. After facing intense public backlash during the Voice to Parliament referendum, Stan Grant retreated to his property on Muradjug land, seeking healing and connection. He described the deep pain of the 'No' vote as a profound existential sadness, not merely political but personal—a rejection of Indigenous identity. Silence, for him, became a sacred and powerful language when words failed. | | | 05 June 2025
 On the low-lying atolls of Kiribati, families like Tear Tata’s are struggling to survive as rising sea levels caused by climate change erode their land, flood homes, and contaminate water supplies. Makeshift coral sea walls offer only temporary protection, while overpopulation and limited infrastructure worsen the crisis. Despite government efforts—such as climate education, mangrove planting, vocational training for seafaring, and new economic ventures like palm sugar production—many residents fear displacement and the eventual loss of their homeland. Yet, a deep sense of cultural identity and resilience persists, as locals strive to adapt, protect their traditions, and hold onto hope in the face of an uncertain future. | | | 05 June 2025

 The concept of deep resurrection, developed by theologian Elizabeth Johnson, expands traditional Christian understanding of Christ’s resurrection to embrace not just humanity but all of creation. Building on the idea of deep incarnation, which holds that God entered the very tissue of biological existence, Johnson proposes that Christ’s life, death, and resurrection are intrinsically connected to the natural world. Through Christ, the hope of salvation extends to the entire earth community, not just human beings. Supported by Scripture, liturgy, and modern eco-theology (including the teachings of Pope Francis in Laudato Si'), this vision calls believers to recognize that all creatures are moving toward God’s fullness together. Celebrating Easter, then, becomes not only a commemoration of human redemption but also a promise of transformation for the whole cosmic family of life, reaffirming our shared destiny in the love of the risen Christ. | | |
