29th & 30th August 2020 (Year A)
Twenty Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Served by the Discalced Carmelite Friars
-John 6:35
22nd Sunday of the Year
Justice Sunday
This Sunday is dedicated to the Social Justice Sunday. The motto of the year is
“Called To live life to the full”. While the thief comes only to steal, kill and
destroy, Jesus has come that we may have life (Jn 10:10). This promise is made
in the context of the parable of the Good Shepherd – a story of intimate
connection, care and protection (Jn 10:14). It is through this connection with
God that we will experience the fullness of life in body, mind and spirit, both
personally and communally.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to our First Holy Communion students who are receiving Jesus
for the first time this Sunday. I thank their parents, teachers and catechists who
prepared them very well this life-giving sacrament. The children are so excited
and could hardly wait to receive Jesus in their hearts. Let us at the same time
continue to pray for them and their families.
Confirmation
Our Bishop is coming to the parish on 12th and 13th September to give
Confirmation to the 80 students. It will be held in two separate ceremonies
exclusively for the candidates and their families. We are planning the
ceremonies to be beautiful and safe keeping the guidelines of the government.
Most probably we are trying to stream the entire service online. We will get the
details later.
Clergy retreat
The annual Priests’ retreat will be held from 6th to 11th September at St. John of
God Retreat Centre, Safety Bay. The preacher is Br. Ian Cribb S.J. Kindly pray
for us during those days.
Fathers’ day
The Fathers’ day falls on 6th September. We will have special prayers and
wishes be made in every mass on that day. No barbeque and no parties this time
in our church! Let us wait in the coming years.
Have a beautiful weekend,
Fr. Johny Arattukulam, O.C.D.
First Reading
A reading from the book of Jeremiah 20:7–9 You have seduced me, Lord, and I have let myself be seduced; you have overpowered me: you were the stronger. I am a daily laughing-stock, everybody’s butt. Each time I speak the word, I have to howl and proclaim: ‘Violence and ruin!’ The word of the Lord has meant for me insult, derision, all day long. I used to say, ‘I will not think about him, I will not speak in his name any more.’ Then there seemed to be a fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones. The effort to restrain it wearied me, I could not bear it. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm Ps 62:2–6, 8–9
R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. O God, you are my God, for you I long;
1. O God, you are my God, for you I long;
for you my soul is thirsting. My body pines for you
like a dry, weary land without water. R.
2. So I gaze on you in the sanctuary to see your strength and your glory.
For your love is better than life, my lips will speak your praise. R.
3. So I will bless you all my life,
in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul shall be filled as with a banquet,
my mouth shall praise you with joy. R.
4. For you have been my help; in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.
My soul clings to you; your right hand holds me fast. R.
Second Reading
Alleluia, alleluia! May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
enlighten the eyes of our heart, that we might see how great is the hope
To which we are called. Alleluia!
GOSPEL
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew 16:21–27 Jesus began to make it clear to his disciples that he was destined to go to Jerusalem and suffer grievously at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes, to be put to death and to be raised up on the third day. Then, taking him aside, Peter started to remonstrate with him. ‘Heaven preserve you, Lord,’ he said. ‘This must not happen to you.’ But he turned and said to Peter, ‘Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle in my path, because the way you think is not God’s way but man’s.’ Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me. For anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake will find it. What, then, will a man gain if he wins the whole world and ruins his life? Or what has a man to offer in exchange for his life? ‘For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and, when he does, he will reward each one according to his behaviour.’ The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.
Second Reading
A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Romans 12:1–2 Think of God’s mercy, my brothers, and worship him, I beg you, in a way that is worthy of thinking beings, by offering your living bodies as a holy sacrifice, truly pleasing to God. Do not model yourselves on the behaviour of the world around you, but let your behaviour change, modelled by your new mind. This is the only way to discover the will of God and know what is good, what it is that God wants, what is the perfect thing to do. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
The Mass intention envelopes are available at the church
entrance. You may submit it to the parish office or Priest.

Alpha will not make you a Catholic overnight...but it will place you on the path to be a good Christian, which is be foundation of any person who desires to be a great Catholic person. Alpha gave me the place to be able to discover myself in the context of my belief and allowed me to express my questions and feelings, as we shared as a group, over the sessions that the Alpha course takes place on. I have always have felt like the black sheep when it came to Religion. I have left my mother country that is 95% Catholic, to a country that is multicultural and so you encounter all sorts if beliefs as well. I have bounced between Catholic church, the Seventh Day Adventist church, some Christian churches that claimed they had no denomination (but still followed Jesus’s way), and in my University days i got to know more about the Muslim faith through my then Arab friends. So, for a long time I had left the Catholic church. Breaking bread (having dinner) as Jesus would had done numerous times with his disciples, with people attending the Alpha course, who also might have the same doubts and questions about our faith was a great window to discuss and share our thoughts, when we got into our circle to discuss the night’s topic. I know I have taken a lot out of the sessions as I am happy now to be part of a Parish and be able to help it, in any way I
can to my capabilities.

We celebrate Social Justice Sunday on 30 August. This year, the Australian Bishops’ Social Justice Statement is titled: To Live Life to the Full: Mental health in Australia today. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the mental health of many members of our parishes, schools and communities. Understanding mental health will help us to be aware of those who need our support. The Bishops invite us all to reject stigmatisation, to work for the transformation of social determinants of mental ill-health, and to call for policies and service provision that meets the needs of the poorest and most marginalised members of our community. Download the Statement at http://bit.ly/SocialJustice_2020.
REFLECTION on Social Sunday.As Christians, we are called to discipleship, and it is
the work of a lifetime. A disciple seeks to do what Jesus would do and to be all they were created to be for the good of the world. God-given gifts and talents are recognised and nurtured, and others are enabled and supported to live into this fullness of life. God’s gifts are meant to be shared, and shared abundantly.
The 2020 Social Justice Statement highlights the ways that mental health can be nour-ished and supported so that all people can fulfil their potential and flourish within a lifegiving community. Mercy, encouragement, and inclusion are vital; as are the practical supports for growing and maintaining good mental health, like housing stability and fi-nancial support.
Advocacy for those most vulnerable is necessary, as is genuine personal friendship and fellowship. Christ is present in the rejection of any stigmatisation, and when policies and services meet and serve the needs of the most at risk as integral parts of “us”
It can be tempting to think that a blessed life is one with minimal hardship and challenge; and no one wants to see people suffer. Mental health challenges can still be a cause for shame and despair in some segments of Australian society, despite significant gains through education and societal change. The 2020 Social Justice statement calls people experiencing mental ill-health, those who care and walk with them, and all people, to open their hearts to hope. People experiencing mental ill-health are part of the Body of Christ with unique and rich gifts to offer and celebrate. There are also real and practical challenges in supporting all who live with mental ill-health. What needs to be done so that those who struggle with mental ill-health can take their place in our communities and wider Australian society? How do we walk together as disciples?
Jeremiah holds nothing back when he cries out the truth. It comes at a cost to him, as people would rather not hear what he has to say. It makes some people uncomfortable, and they let him know about it through constant insults. He also wishes it were not his lot to keep speaking when it would be easier to say nothing and fade into an easier life. However, he knows that his call is to speak the words that burn within him. He continues, even when it is hard; he knows that God is with him, despite the cost.
There are countless people who have brought better conditions and services over time for those who live with mental ill-health, despite some entrenched opposition. The voices of people living with mental ill-health are prophetic. They hold the key for ways of moving forward with agency through respectful listening, and hearing. God speaks to us through the broken and the powerless. Through the faithfulness and perseverance of many modern-day Jeremiahs in speaking uncomfortable truths, better care models and structures have been made and continue to be made possible.
Jesus always draws near to those who are frail, sick, poor, disabled, suffering mental illhealth, limited, despised, marginalised, or shunned: the Incarnation is God’s definitive statement of solidarity with all people. The second reading calls us to make our daily lives our worship for this lavish gift of God’s self: the way we live is what matters to God. We cry out to God for mercy, knowing that God is good and forgiving, and that God gives us what we need without reserve. Is this also what we, in turn offer to others? The Responsorial Psalm names both food for the hungry and water for the thirsty as part of God’s gifts. There is also a seat at the table at the banquet. Instead of drawing away, Jesus always stays close. By a holistic approach to care that prioritises inclusion in community, lives are restored and transformed.
The Gospel for this Social Justice Sunday is one that affirms the goodness and faithfulness of God, and of all who struggle with mental ill-health. God is near to those who suffer, and does not leave when the going gets tough: God’s presence and assistance is made manifest in loving words and practical actions in people’s lives as they are. The cross is not hidden but carried in community, becoming a source of revelation and wisdom for the community. Taking on the mind of God sees gift, potential and dignity in every human life, no matter how broken or imperfect it may seem by temporal, worldly standards. The Gospel acclamation set for this Sunday says it best. As disciples, may we be sowers of this lifegiving, unexpected, surprising, and abundant hope.
May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ enlighten the eyes of our mind, so that we can see what hope his call holds for us.
Prayer Jesus, you invite us all into the fullness of life. May we support one another to
flourish in body, mind and spirit. Strengthen our commitment to ensure that
nobody falls through gaps in our systems of care. People called you mad. Help
us to recognise you in those who suffer mental ill-health today. Show us how to
eliminate stigmatisation of mental ill-health from our parishes, schools,
communities and organisations. You drew near to those who were suffering in
body or mind. May we too feel your nearness when we struggle with mental
health challenges. May we be one as members of Your Body. You invite us to
share in your ministry of love and true compassion. May we be empowered by
your Spirit to reach out to all people in need. May we build communities of
welcome and inclusion. Amen

about it!!
St. Gregory the Great was born at Rome in 540. He was successively senator and prefect of Rome before the age of 30. After five years he resigned and became a monk, transforming his own house into a Benedictine monastery, and founding six others. At the age of 50 he was elected pope, serving from 590 to 604. In 14 years, he accomplished much for the Mystical Body of Christ.
Gregory, before he became pope, happened to see some Anglo-Saxon slaves for sale in a Roman marketplace. He asked about the race of the remarkable blond men and was told they were "Anglos." "Not Anglos, but angels," he was said to reply. He sent 40 monks, including St. Augustine of Canterbury, from his own monastery to England. England owes her conversion to him. At a period when the
invasion of the barbarian Lombards created a new situation in Europe, he played a great part in winning them for Christ. When Rome itself was under attack, he personally went to interview the Lombard King.
At the same time, he watched equally over the holiness of the clergy and the maintenance of Church discipline, the temporal interests of his people of Rome and the spiritual interests of all Christendom. He removed unworthy priests from office, forbade taking money for many services, and emptied the papal treasury to ransom prisoners of the Lombards and to care for persecuted Jews and victims of plague and famine. These deeds and others made him, in the words of an antiphon in his office, "the Father of the City, the Joy of the World."
Gregory reformed the liturgy, and it still contains several of his most beautiful prayers. The name "Gregorian chant" recalls this great Pope's work in the development of the Church's music. His commentaries on Holy Scripture exercised a considerable influence on Christian thought in the Middle Ages. St. Gregory died on March 12, 604. His body lies at St. Peter's in Rome. His feast is celebrated on 3rd September. Fr Anson
