10 ITEM 7 Aboriginal Crosses Hand painted Aboriginal designed Crosses traditional or contemporary design For thousands of years my Ancestors have painted their relationship with the Creator Spirit in caves and rocks throughout the land. Their relationship was a deep spiritual connection with all that had been created, contemplation was a way of life, daily ritual and prayer was their way of worship. Many people ask me why I don t paint the same as my ancestors? It s because my old people never had the story of Jesus and relationship of Jesus like I do. I consider Jesus to be my best friend, when I m feeling down I can call on Him, when I m in trouble I can a have a yarn with Him, when I feel lonely I know He is there. So when you need someone to call on just look up at the cross and He will be there. Vicki Clark Mutthi Mutthi Each Cross is the expression of the artist s celebration of the journey of the two ways, Vicki Clark Mutthi Mutthi

19 Aboriginal Catholic Ministry for Victoria catalogue The Aboriginal Catholic Ministry for Victoria is a community of Memory and hope with a commitment to Truth and Reconciliation. WE ARE Led by the Creator Spirit We are to be perceived as an Aboriginal Community recognized for its commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Peoples having their rightful place in the Church and the wider Community. Inspired by the Gospel, we are committed to the dignity of each person to open hospitality, to truth- telling about dispossession and to be a place of connection. We work for reconciliation in partnership with those who believe that there can be an alternative. (Taken from the ACMV Vision Statement) We are challenged by the words of Pope John Paul s II message in 1986 You are part of Australia and Australia is part of you. And the Church herself in Australia will not be fully the Church that Jesus wants her to be until you have made your contribution to her life and until that contribution has been joyfully received by others. (para 13) Aboriginal symbols are a powerful sign of reconciliation, forgiveness, love, hope and peace
