Today’s feast celebrating the life of St John Bosco reminds Fr Paul of the 1938 classic film, “Boy’s Town” and The Hollies’ hit song based on a line from the movie, “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother.” We’re all Jesus’ brothers and sisters, Fr Paul points out. For him, none of us is heavy.
Since we have [in Jesus] “a great priest over the house of God,” let us approach [him] with a sincere heart and in absolute trust.
HEB 10:19-25
“Is a lamp brought in to be placed under a bushel basket or under a bed, and not to be placed on a lampstand?”
