The famous Martin Luther King, who was born on 15th January, 1929, wrote from prison: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
As Australia is burning down, justice here seems impossible to me. A few dozen people are dead – and a billion animals. Nothing seems fair in the land of the alleged “fair go”.
Mary MacKillop, Saint Mary Of The Cross, was also born on this date in 1842.
She helped establish the Josephite order where women renounced independence, worldly knowledge and property to embrace poverty, chasity and obedience.
This commitment allowed the order to establish countless schools for the poor across Australia. That was a very different time.
As I live with almost no income and face the real possibility of poverty and homelessness at the age 0f 62, I am in awe of Mary MacKillop and Martin Luther King.
