In the midst of death, life persists,
in the midst of untruth, truth persists,
in the midst of darkness, light persists. Hence I gather that God is life, truth, light.
He is love. He is the supreme Good.
Like America, this country has been a beacon of hope.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
God truly blessed our country –
in giving us Frank Lowy.
There is orderliness in the universe,
Governing everything and every being that exists or lives.
It is not a blind law, for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings,
– even matter is life.
I am regularly challenged over the Government’s policy on the detention of boat people, which is not morally black and white.
The argument runs; How can you live with yourself as a Catholic,
when your government treats people with such cruelty.
