Opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation

Benediction

Often people forget that Easter is not just a day, but a season - the longest in the Church’s year, in fact! We are given fifty glorious days to prolong our baptismal joy, fifty glorious days of basking in the light of the risen Saviour. It seems a shame that after the efforts we put into Lent we don’t celebrate Eastertide with the same enthusiasm.

The readings of this Season have their origins in the instruction given to converts in the early Church. In Lent, the readings were the basis of catechesis on the forthcoming baptism. During Easter the readings are “Mystagogy” - a type of teaching where the newly baptised (“neophytes”) learn through taking part in the celebration of the sacraments and hearing the word. On the Sundays we hear who Jesus is, and on weekdays hear about Baptism and the Eucharist. This “Mystagogy” is not just to nourish the neophytes, but to help all of us deepen our life in the risen Lord Jesus. this Sunday we are with the disciples in the Upper Room, where eight days after the Resurrection Jesus comes among them - as he comes among us.

Dear Parishioners,

Last week, during Holy Week and our Easter Triduum celebrations, we had the unofficial unveiling of our new Audio and Visual System recently installed by one of our parishioners,

Anthony Nguyen with the help of a few volunteers, Tony Miuccio and Pawel.

We have received quite a lot of great feedback and with that again, a huge thank you to our Parish groups for your generous donations; our Cantonese, Italian, Mandarin

and Spanish Communities together with the many individual donations received.

Thank you very much! Blessings to all, Fr Janusz.

Congratulations to Caitlin Tan who won our St Michael’s

Easter Hamper last weekend on Ticket Number 339904!

Thank you to all for your continued

support.

ENTRANCE ANTIPHON:

Like newborn infants,

you must long for the pure, spiritual milk,

that in him you may grow to salvation,

alleluia.

FIRST READING: Acts 2:42-47

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles

The whole community remained faithful to

the teaching of the apostles, to the

brotherhood, to the breaking of bread and to

the prayers. The many miracles and signs

worked through the apostles made a deep

Impression on everyone. The faithful all lived

together and owned everything in common;

they sold their goods and possessions and

shared out the proceeds among themselves

according to what each one needed. They

went as a body to the Temple every day but

met in their houses for the breaking of bread;

they shared their food gladly and generously;

they praised God and were looked up to by

everyone. Day by day the Lord added to their

community those destined to be saved.

The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps 21:8-9.

All: Give thanks to the Lord for he is

good, his love is everlasting.

1. ‘His love has no end.’

Let the sons of Aaron say:

‘His love has no end.’

Let those who fear the Lord say:

'His love has no end.'

2. I was thrust, thrust down and falling

but the Lord was my helper.

The Lord is my strength and my song;

he was my saviour.

There are shouts of joy and victory

in the tents of the just.

3. The stone which the builders rejected

has become the corner stone.

This is the work of the Lord,

a marvel in our eyes.

This day was made by the Lord;

we rejoice and are glad.

All: Give thanks to the Lord for he is

good, his love is everlasting.

SECOND READING: 1 Pt 1:3-9

A reading from the first letter of St Peter

Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus

Christ, who in his great mercy has given us a

new birth as his sons, by raising Jesus Christ

from the dead, so that we have a sure hope

and the promise of an inheritance that can

never be spoilt or soiled and never fade away,

because it is being kept for you in the

heavens. Through your faith, God’s power

will guard you until the salvation which has

been prepared is revealed at the end of time.

This is a cause of great joy for you, even

though you may for a short time have to bear

being plagued by all sorts of trials; so that,

when Jesus Christ is revealed, your faith will

have been tested and proved like gold – only

it is more precious than gold, which is

corruptible even though it bears testing by

fire – and then you will have praise and glory

and honour. You did not see him, yet you

love him; and still without seeing him, you

are already filled with a joy so glorious that it

cannot be described, because you believe; and

you are sure of the end to which your faith

looks forward, that is, the salvation of your

souls.

The word of the Lord.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:

Alleluia, alleluia!

You believe in me, Thomas, because you have

seen me; happy those who have not seen me,

but still believe!

Alleluia!

✝GOSPEL: Jn 20:19-31

A reading from the holy Gospel according

to John

In the evening of that same day, the first day

of the week, the doors were closed in the

room where the disciples were, for fear of the

Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He

said to them, ‘Peace be with you,’ and showed

them his hands and his side. The disciples

were filled with joy when they saw the Lord,

and he said to them again, ‘Peace be with you.

‘As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.’

After saying this he breathed on them and

said: ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. For those

whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven; for

those whose sins you retain, they are

retained.’ Thomas, called the Twin, who was

one of the Twelve, was not with them when

Jesus came. When the disciples said, ‘We have

seen the Lord’, he answered, ‘Unless I see the

holes that the nails made in his hands and can

put my finger into the holes they made, and

unless I can put my hand into his side, I refuse

to believe.’ Eight days later the disciples were

in the house again and Thomas was with

them. The doors were closed, but Jesus came

in and stood among them. ‘Peace be with

you’ he said. Then he spoke to Thomas, ‘Put

your finger here; look, here are my hands.

Give me your hand; put it into my side.

Doubt no longer but believe.’ Thomas

replied, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to

him: ‘You believe because you can see me.

Happy are those who have not seen and yet

believe.’ There were many other signs that

Jesus worked and the disciples saw, but they

are not recorded in this book. These are

recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is

the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing

this you may have life through his name.

The Gospel of the Lord.

COMMUNION ANTIPHON:

Bring your hand

and feel the place of the nails,

and do not be unbelieving but believing,

alleluia.
