If you wish to join this Group, please in- dicate this on sheets on the tables near the doors. Group 2 will meet at Assumption Place Tuesday nights at 7pm commencing on 13th November. You are invited to host or join a small group for Plenary Council Listening and Dialogue Encounters. Register your interest with the parish office on 07 4661 1033. We are gathering to pray, talk and listen to one another about our experiences of faith, and the Church. Read more about this at plenarycouncil.catholic.org.au If you do not have a copy of LISTENING & DIALOGUE ENCOUNTER, please take a copy from the tables near the church doors. LISTENING Archbishop Tim Costelloe of Perth calls us to listen to each other. Listening seems to be the main focus of this Council and unless Bishops listen to the voice of the people, the Church will continue to lose ground, to have people turn away dissatisfied with the leadership and the spirituality offered to them. Many are now leaving their parishes to find expressions of their spirituality elsewhere and abandoning the local Church that had previously welcomed and nourished them. The Plenary Council is a positive step and it is essential that we participate and use our wisdom, talents and experience to contribute to this significant event in the history of the Australian Church. So let us pray each day for all the people of Australia that they we will “listen to the whisperings of God in our own hearts” (Mary MacKillop) and take the leap in faith and send in ideas, suggestions and thoughts so that the Plenary Council 2020 will bring about the desired and necessary renewal of our Church in Australia.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
“Why not? Why not now? Why not me?”
Jesus is scathing in this text in his comments about people who parade their religiosity while living at the expense of the poor. Merely making a show is not how God wants to be honoured. Even the wealthy who contribute so generously to the Temple treasury are only giving of their excess; from what they do not need. Instead it is the poor widow, who is under no obligation to contribute to the Temple treasury, who puts all she has at the service of God. With nothing left with which to feed herself, she has totally put her trust and confidence in the fact that God will provide all she needs.
REFLECTION
Prayer For Rain Almighty and everlasting God, you have given
us this earth to care for and delight in.
Look with mercy on our need for rain for our
parched land. We pray that life-giving rain will
soon fall. We pray for those suffering from the
severity of this drought—people working on the
land, and those in business who depend on
farming and grazing for their livelihoods. Fa-
ther, help them to know your love and care, and
to bring their burdens to you. Guide all those
who are seeking to
provide help and bring healing in the midst of
so much pain.
We ask these things through
Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
First Reading 1 Kgs 17:10-16 The widow made a little scone from her flour meal and brought it to Elijah. Responsorial Psalm Ps 145:7-10. R.v.2 (R.) Praise the Lord, my soul! or (R.) Alleluia! Second Reading Heb 9:24-28 Christ offered himself only once to take the faults of many on himself.
Gospel Acclamation Mt 5:3
Alleluia, alleluia! Happy the poor in spirit; the kingdom of heaven is theirs. Alleluia! Gospel Mk 12:38-44 This poor widow has put more in than all who con-tributed.
