PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST Want to see a great movie these holidays? Look no further than taking the whole family to see a movie called Paul, Apostle of Christ. This is currently playing in many cinemas and has received rave reviews. The more we encourage the movie makers that we support movies like this, the more likely they are to make more!! 24 HOUR EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Friday 4 May to Saturday 5 May Starting at 9:10am with Mass on Friday, our Lord will be exposed for 24 hours and concluding with Mass at 9am on Saturday Come ... spend some time with Him At all times our Lord Jesus must have someone with Him, so please signify your interest on the timetable posted at the back of the Church Often we do not like to admit our dependence but the fact remains we are constantly dependent on others for our daily existence. "The average person might awaken in a bed built on a pattern which originated in the Near East, to a clock, a medieval European invention. He slips into soft moccasins invented by American Indians. He showers with soap invented by the ancient Gauls, and dries himself with a Turkish towel. Returning to the bedroom he dons garments derived from the clothing of nomads of the Asiatic steppes and in ancient Egypt. At his breakfast table, he has pottery invented in China, his knife is made of an alloy first produced in southern India, his fork is a medieval Italian invention, his spoon a derivative of a Roman original. His food originated in discoveries from all over the world. He reads the news of the day imprinted in characters invented by the ancient Semites, by a process invented in Germany upon a material invented in China. Sometime during the day he may thank a Hebrew God in an Indo-European language that he is one-hundred per cent Australian." Today's gospel speaks of our radical dependence on God for everything. The vine to be fruitful has to be cut and pruned and always attached to the vine or else it dies. "As a branch cannot bear fruit by itself, but must remain part of the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me." First Reading: The disciples were afraid of Saul the persecutor and did not trust his “conversion”. What evidence do I trust to accept someone’s sincerity? Second Reading: John tells us that genuine love is shown not just in words but in everyday deeds. When have my Christian words not been matched by my Christian deeds? Gospel: Jesus tells us that we can only survive if we join ourselves to his life. What can I do this week to keep myself to remain in Jesus? CATHOLICISM SERIES We are about to embark on a new series “The Fire of His love & Word made Flesh, True Bread of Heaven”. Presented in DVD by Bishop Robert Barron, these will resume at 7pm Friday May 11th in our Conference Room. Come, invite family and friends!
