Friday is a day of prayer and fasting for peace in the Holy Land. For those who live or work in the Sydney CBD, this is a great opportunity to come together as people of faith for this cause.

Six years ago today, my brother Jim died. Although he faced lots of challenges and cruelties in life he enjoyed the love of family, friends and a life-long girlfriend. No matter what happened, he never complained. Always loved and sadly missed.

Just a few thoughts on the things that challenge us and make life hard. catholicweekly.com.au/anthon…

One of the greatest challenges we face today is the emergence of an insidious #porndemic. I reflect on the problem in an article published this week. catholicweekly.com.au/anthon…

Our Family Educators are a secret weapon of Sydney Catholic Schools. They gathered today for a #LifeMonth celebration.

What an example of how to live.
Mohamed Mashally died yesterday, the "doctor of the poor", he graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in 1967 with 110 cum laude, Dr Mohamed Mashally had been visiting the poor in his city in Egypt for over 50 years, Muslims, Coptic Christians... he did everything for free, in his modest clinic, he also gave money to his poorest patients to buy medicines and charged (less than a dollar) in exchange for patients who were financially well. Dozens of patients lined up every day in front of his humble clinic where Dr. Muhammad worked 10 hours a day from 9am to 7pm to treat the largest number of people. Muhammad Mashali never owned a car not even a cell phone. He walked from his house to the clinic on foot even though he was over 80 years old. When one of the rich Gulf gentlemen heard about his story, he gave him $20,000, he also gave him a car to move around, but after a year, upon his return to Egypt, the rich man found out that Muhammad had even sold the car to help his patients poor, even to buy materials, analyses, Muhammad Mashaly said: After graduating I found out that my father sacrificed his whole life to become a doctor. Then I promised God that I would not take a penny from the poor and live a life in the service of my neighbor culture or religion. A man who dedicated his whole life to saving lives and helping anyone in need. May the earth be light for you ❤

It was a privilege for me to address the students of Campion College last night. They are intelligent and articulate, well read and eager to engage in the contest of ideas. Campion is helping address the intellectual malaise that has beset our society. campion.edu.au/dr-anthony-cl…

I was chuffed to learn that the Catholic Herald in the UK published my article on Australians at World Youth Day. We should never underestimate the power of this event. @FrankChiment @BishopUmbers @Selinahasham @GuyZangariMP catholicherald.co.uk/what-wo…

Sunrise at the Sea of Galilee. In the last few hours 300 Sydney pilgrims, aboard 3 boats, celebrated Mass with Archbishop Fisher at this same beautiful location.

Great to see staff pilgrims from Sydney Catholic Schools about to leave for the Holy Land and World Youth Day. They are part of a very large contingent from the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney. ⁦@BishopUmbers⁩

While death is inevitable for us all it is one of the hardest things that we deal with in life. In the last few weeks I penned a few thoughts about how we mourn the people we lose. catholicweekly.com.au/anthon…

A few weeks ago I attended the birthday of an ex-student. Before I knew it I was chatting with a few of the guests about their approach to their children’s schooling. My advice - be balanced - academic success is not the be all and end all. catholicweekly.com.au/anthon…
