ST. PAUL
‘The marks I carry
on my body are those
of Jesus Christ.’
Entrance Antiphon:
Within your temple, we ponder
your loving kindness, O God. As
your name, so also your praise
reaches to the ends of the
earth; your right hand is filled
with justice.
1st Reading:
Isaiah 66:10-14
Psalms 65:1-7,16,20
Responsorial Psalm:
Let all the earth cry out to God
with joy.
2nd Reading:
Galatians 6:14-18
Gospel Acclamation:
Alleluia, alleluia!
May the peace of Christ rule in
your hearts, and the fullness of
his message live within you.
Alleluia!
Gospel:
Luke 10:1-12,17-20
Before Communion:
Lord, let this offering to the
glory of your name purify us
and bring us closer to eternal
life.
Communion Antiphon:
Taste and see the goodness of
the Lord; blessed is he who
hopes in God.
After Communion:
Lord, may we never fail to
praise you for the fullness of
life and salvation you give us in
this eucharist.
In today’s gospel, Jesus sends his 72 disciples out to the towns
as if sending labourers to an abundant harvest. Jesus’ ministry
is now being extended through the disciples whom he sends
forth to do his work and thus announce that the “kingdom of
God is at hand.”
When the disciples return reporting their many successes, Jesus
reveals that the real abundance of the harvest is in having their
“names written in heaven.” Jesus redirects the focus of the
disciples from power over evil to the glory of dwelling in the
kingdom.
Our ministry then, is the same as the early disciples and that is
to announce that the kingdom of God is at hand.

The Australian Confraternity of Catholic Clergy (ACCC) is a private, voluntary
and fraternal association of Catholic bishops, priests and deacons of the
dioceses of Australia.
Our fraternity helps members build up each other in the grace of their vocation.
It hopefully increases the wider flourishment of authentic living and exercise of
vocations among bishops, priests and deacons, and attracts younger men to
consider a vocation to the Sacred Ministry. Membership is also open to lay and
religious faithful who support the clerical association in its objectives. The ACCC
has five objectives:
To give glory and honour to the Most Blessed Trinity.
To assist the eternal salvation and holiness of members.
To foster unity among Catholic priests and deacons with the bishops in loyalty to
the Supreme Magisterium.
To encourage faithfulness to priestly life and ministry.
To assist bishops, priests and deacons in the fulfilment of their ministry of
teaching, sanctifying and governing.
The Confraternity has active branches in New South Wales, Victoria, Western
Australia, South Australia and Queensland, and ACCC members also reside in
the ACT, Tasmania and New Zealand.

All meals for the priests are being catered, however we will need three or four

could provide something suitable for morning tea. There is a clipboard at the
fron of the church where you can leave your names if you are able to help. Many
thanks.

Second Sunday of easter Fourteenth Sunday
Entrance:
God has chosen me, God has chosen me
To bring good news to the poor.
God has chosen me, God has chosen me
To bring new sight to those searching for light.
God has chosen me, God has chosen me:
Refrain:
And to tell the world that God’s kingdom is
near,
To remove oppression and break down fear,
Yes, God’s time is near,
God’s time is near,
God’s time is near,
God’s time is near.
God has chosen me, God has chosen me
To set alight a new fire.
God has chosen me, God has chosen me
To bring to birth a new kingdom on earth.
God has chosen me, God has chosen me:
Refrain
Responsorial Psalm:
All the earth proclaim the Lord
Sing your praise to God.
Gospel Acclamation:
Praise to God for the Word, alleluia
That God’s voice will be heard, alleluia
Now proclaim in God’s holy name:
Alleluia, alleluia! (repeat)
Offertory:
To do your will, is my desire,
To live in you, Lord is my life.
To spread your love, through all the earth,
To find in you, the joy of life.
All of my days, I sing your praise,
Through all my nights, you are my life.
You will shine forth, through all my years,
And joyously will bring me home.
I search this world so restlessly,
Seeking a home from hate and strife.
I found in you, the strength to see,
The meaning of this troubled life.
And so my God, I give to you,
These raining words these restless rhymes,
And take my life as a tribute of,
Your endless love for humankind.
Communion:
Lord, you give the great commission:
“Heal the sick and preach the word”
Lest the church neglect its mission,
And the Gospel go unheard,
Help us witness to your purpose
With renewed integrity;
With the Spirit’s gifts empower us
For the work of ministry.
Lord, you call us to your service:
“In your name baptize and teach”
That the world may trust your promise,
Life abundant meant for each,
Give us all new fervour, draw us
Closer in community:
With the Spirit’s gifts enpower us
For the work of ministry.
Lord, you make the common holy:
“This my body, this my blood”
Let us all, for earth’s true glory,
Daily lift life heaven-ward,
Asking that the world around us
Share your children’s liberty;
With the Spirit’s gifts enpower us
For the work of ministry.
Lord, you show us love’s true measure:
“Father, what they do, forgive”
Yet we hoard as private treasure
All that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
To a just society,
With the Spirit’s gifts enpower us
For the work of ministry.
Recessional:
You are salt for the earth, O people;
Salt for the Kingdom of God!
Share the flavour of life, O people;
Life in the Kingdom of God!
Refrain:
Bring forth the Kingdom of mercy,
Bring forth the Kingdom of peace;
Bring forth the Kingdom of justice,
Bring forth the city of God!
You are a light on the hill, O people;
Light for the city of God!
Shine so holy and bright, O people;
Shine for the Kingdom of God! Refrain
