Te Wiki o te Reo M?ori: Mahuru 14-20

One of the ways we can all benefit from M?ori culture is by embracing the gift of Te Reo M?ori in our liturgies. It is a taonga Kahurangi, a precious gift, which has been given to you by the Church. Take it. Treasure it. Pray it.

�\"AssemblyThe Bishops of Aotearoa New Zealand want you to take these M?ori texts, to treasure them and pray them. We owe that to our M?ori sisters and brothers. Sometimes people ask why we use M?ori in our liturgy. The answer is simple; it is an official language of New Zealand � the more we use Te Reo M?ori in our liturgies the more our M?ori sisters and brothers will feel comfortable and at home in our churches. We are committed to use some M?ori in our liturgies such as the sign of the cross, a simple welcome, and maybe the final blessing. We can and must do more.

From Cardinal John�s column \'WelCom\' July 2016
