Throughout the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn Archbiship Christopher has inaugurated a Year of Walking Together. This theme reminds us that as Catholics and Christians we walk together with each other and Jesus Christ, as the disciples did.

Mary McKillop and St Francis Xavier spent their lives walking with Jesus, sharing the love of Jesus through their words and their actions. Let us walk together with Jesus in our families, our school and our communities this year.

The Risen Lord walked together with the disciples on the road to Emmaus, drawing them from anxiety to hope, from confusion to joy.

Jesus, centre of common Emmaus walk, with You alone to guide us, make Your home in our hearts.

Like Mary, guided by the Holy Spirit, may we walk together in united faith and love. Amen
