Responsorial Psalm:

Gospel Acclamation:
You believe in me, Thomas, because you have seen me; happy those who have
seen me, but still believe!
We pray for those who have died recently especially and for those whose
anniversaries occur at this time, especially Ellen Peyton, Bill Sheridan, Maria
Romanin, Severino Pasut and Terry Smith.
Living the Paschal Mystery
When people say ‘I believe you’, they
mean that they believe the fact we
communicate. By contrast, when people
say ‘I believe in you,’ they mean that
they know us, trust our values, and can
count on us. To believe in the
resurrection is more than believing a
fact. To believe in the risen Jesus is
knowing, trusting, and counting on him.
Prayer
Repeat Thomas’ great
acclamation of faith often:
My Lord and my God
MARRIAGE
We congratulate Meng Qui (one of our organist at St Bede’s) and Thomas Tuena who
