Building the Church of the Future

SACEC is a diverse group of Adelaide Catholics who share a love, care, concern and hope for our Church in the Archdiocese. We come together, under the heading SA Catholics for an Evolving Church to reflect on the world, the Church, the Gospel and the spiritual life of our people.

Disrupter of Synagogues, Disturber of Consciences
Healer of the Broken, Liberator of Captives.

The Spirit Within:
Creating the one and only version of yourself that ever will be


It is my light not my darkness that frightens me.
My deepest fear is not that I am inadequate.
My deepest fear is that I am powerful beyond measure.
It is my light, not my darkness, that most frightens me.

I ask myself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who am I not to be? I am a child of God.

My playing small does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around me.
I was born to make manifest the glory of God that is within me.

It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as I let my own light shine, I unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As I am liberated from my own fear, my presence automatically liberates others.
