HELLO! From Fr Marty

“Our greatest business in life

is not to see what lies dimly at a distance,

yet to do what clearly lies at hand.”

Thomas Carlyle

During this time, we cannot look too far ahead. Yes,

let’s celebrate the small blessings we are being allowed

to do, yet the future will remain that elusive ideal.

Stay in the now and be present to what is.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

To all the mother figures, we have in our lives,

those people who are there, who make us thrive.

Our female Aunties and nieces, to name just a few,

our Granma’s, our Nanna’s, who do so much too.

Female role models and teenage girls, who show so

much flair,

for all women this day, who will always, always, care.

Blessings to you all, on this your special day,

yet always to our mothers, as we go on our way.

Fr Marty©

PAGE 2 5TH SUNDAY OF EASTER

How to live the Gospel out this weekend.

I have used this quote from Pope Francis before. “Once man has lost the

fundamental orientation which unifies his existence, he breaks down into the

multiplicity of his desires; in refusing to await the time of promise, his life-story

disintegrates into a myriad of unconnected instants.”

This is a little like the many rooms in ‘my Father’s house’ Gospel today. What

are the many aspects of our lives? What is the good, yet more importantly

what are the rooms where we have shut the door for fear of letting go of

change?

In these times, it is important to start to think about change. What are the

rooms in our heart that we need to let the wind of change in? Society as we

know has changed, yet sometimes our brains need a bit of time to adjust.

There was that beautiful comment from Pope John XXIII, who said of Vatican

II, ‘the time has come to open the windows of the church to let the fresh air in.’

What rooms do we need to open to get a better perspective of our lives?

Bridget Haase in her book “Well Said, Children’s words of wisdom’, has the

following quotes to think about in terms of looking at change.

Kirby aged 7; “I wish I could live like I was a hundred, instead of just seven.

Then I could relax and get ‘Meals on Wheels.’

Bernie aged 9; “Sometimes when I am walking by myself I get this funny

question inside of me. I mean - what makes me, me? My mirror doesn’t

answer.”

Serena aged 11; “Lots of times I wonder if the road ahead will have lots of

bumps in it. But I guess ruts could be worse.”

BLESSINGS!!!!!

I love to bless!

Office Hours and calling the

Office

Our office secretary Audrey is here to

take your calls during office hours.

We are with you at this time.

Thought for the week.

5TH SUNDAY OF EASTER PAGE 3

MISSA PRO POPULO

(The mass for the people.) As Parish Priest, one mass on the

weekend is to be said solely for the

people of the parish. This mass is

the 9am. Live streamed!

What are you grateful about

today/this week?

Frank and Rob have been cleaning our

church grounds over Easter with the

help of Glenn, our grounds keeper

with the school. They have put in

many hours to get the church grounds

looking in good ‘knick’. Thank you!

TASK:

When we are allowed back to the

Church precinct, just to be aware the

church will need a good clean!

Windows, carpets, working spaces,

albs, vestments, vessels. It will be a

big job, yet we can pitch in together.

Stay tuned!

FUN FACT FOR SUNDAY

10th May, 2020

1994: Nelson Mandela gave his

inaugural speech as President of the

new Republic of South Africa. Mandela

quotes from Marianne Williamson’s

book ‘A return to love’, and gives a

speech inspiring hope in a nation and

in each person. “Our deepest fear is

not that we are inadequate. Our

deepest fear is that we are powerful

beyond measure. It is our light, not our

darkness that most frightens us. We

ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,

gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually,

who are you not to be? You are a child

of God. Your playing small does not

serve the world. There is nothing

enlightened about shrinking so that

other people won’t feel insecure around

you. We are all meant to shine, as

children do. We were born to make

manifest the glory of God that is within

us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in

everyone. And as we let our own light

shine, we unconsciously give other

people permission to do the same. As

we are liberated from our own fear, our

presence automatically liberates

others.”
