Fr Gerard Woo Ling Assistant Priest

Dear Friends,

Today is the 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time and the day that

the Australian Bishops have invited us to celebrate Aboriginal and

Torres Strait Islander Sunday. Today we acknowledge that God

has been walking with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

peoples, making his presence known through a continuous living

culture over many thousands of years. We pray in thanksgiving for these ancient peoples who have enriched and sustained our

continent over all that time. In particular we praise God for the

people who nurtured the land here in our parish that we call

home. A copy of the Australian Catholic Bishops Pastoral Letter is

available at the back of the church.

As my installation is coming up in a few weeks I provide more

important information on page 3.

I invite anyone who is interested in joining the choir for my

installation as Parish Priest to contact Stephanie

(hlms64@yahoo.com). I am delighted that so many people have

expressed positive and encouraging comments regarding the

installation and committed to working together going into the future. I

acknowledge that change is always difficult and involves a level of grief and pain in letting go.

Information

To be a Catholic Community of love, truth and beauty

Liturgy of the Word First Reading Wis 1:13-15; 2:23-24

Death was not God’s doing, he takes no pleasure in

the extinction of the living. To be – for this he created

all; the world’s created things have health in them, in

them no fatal poison can be found, and Hades holds

no power on earth; for virtue is undying. Yet God did make man imperishable, he made him in the image of

his own nature; it was the devil’s envy that brought

death into the world, as those who are his partners

will discover.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 29:2. 4-6. 11-13. R. v.2

(R.) I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.

1. I will praise you, Lord, you have rescued me And have not let my enemies rejoice over me. O Lord,

you have raised my soul from the dead, restored

me to life from those who sink into the grave. (R.)

2. Sing psalms to the Lord, you who love him, give

thanks to his holy name. His anger lasts but a

moment: his favour through life. At night there

are tears, but joy comes with dawn. (R.)

3. The Lord listened and had pity. The Lord came

to my help. For me you have changed my

mourning into dancing, O Lord my God, I will

thank you for ever. (R.)

Second Reading 2 Cor 8:7. 9. 13-15

You always have the most of everything – of faith, of

eloquence, of understanding, of keenness for any

cause, and the biggest share of our affection – so we expect you to put the most into this work of mercy too.

Remember how generous the Lord Jesus was: he was

rich, but he became poor for your sake, to make you

rich out of his poverty. This does not mean that to give

relief to others you ought to make things difficult for

yourselves: it is a question of balancing what happens to be your surplus now against their present need,

and one day they may have something to spare that

will supply your own need. That is how we strike a

balance: as scripture says: The man who gathered

much had none too much, the man who gathered little did not go short.

Gospel Acclamation 2 Tm 1:10 Alleluia, alleluia!

Our Saviour Jesus Christ has done away with death

and brought us life through his gospel. Alleluia!

Gospel Mk 5:21-43 | Mk 5:21 1-24. 35-43 21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the

other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around

him while he was by the lake.22 Then one of the

synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet. 23 He pleaded earnestly

with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and

put your hands on her so that she will be healed and

live.” 24 So Jesus went with him.

A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 35 While he was still speaking, there came from the

ruler's house some who said, “Your daughter is dead.

Why trouble the Teacher any further?” 36 But

overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” 37 And he

allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James

and John the brother of James. 38 They came to the

house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus saw a

commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 And

when he had entered, he said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not

dead but sleeping.” 40 And they laughed at him. But

he put them all outside and took the child's father and

mother and those who were with him and went in

where the child was. 41 Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,”which means, “Little girl, I say to

you, arise.” 42 And immediately the girl got up and

began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and

they were immediate ly overcome with

amazement. 43 And he strictly charged them that no

one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat. The psalm responses are from the English Translation of the Lectionary for the
