DIOCESAN PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS “There is nothing I cannot master with the help of the One who gives me strength.” In Mike Horn’s book, Conquering the Impossible, he recounts his incredible solo 12,000 mile journey around the globe at the Arctic Circle. He recalls perilous sailing journeys, treacherous hikes over ice, and hair-raising encounters with polar bears. It’s amazing how we humans can have the mental and physical toughness to conquer in such a way as this. Spiritually too, we have that capacity. In whatever way God is calling us to step out of our comfort zone and follow him, the grace to persevere is on offer. After all, as St Paul says, “We are more than conquerors through him who loved us”. If that’s the case then there really is nothing we cannot master for Jesus if he is the One who calls us to it. THE FIRST WEEKLY REFLECTION from our young people on the Eucharist. "When I come to a human heart in Holy Communion my hands are full of graces which I want to give the soul” (St Faustina's diary). Sooo many times out of routine, I have got up, received the Eucharist, sat down, and left Mass and carried on as if it was any normal day! But some days God reminds me that nothing is 'normal' when I have received Jesus in His Body and in His Blood. It always amazes me that we become a living tabernacle, carrying Jesus around where we live, work and study, and I think Jesus desires nothing more than for us to recognise Him in this way so that he can start to change our lives as he has done for me. :) WEEKLY GUIDE TO PRAYER On this Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time, we hear the story from Matthew about the King who gave a banquet for his son and invited many guests. It is a powerful story about rejecting Jesus' own invitation and about God's universal invitation to a new group of “Chosen” people. This week we end our look at the Letter to the Galatians and begin two weeks of Paul's Letter to the Ephesians. The letters emphasize the universal Church and the unity of this Church that brings together Gentiles and Jews. In Luke's Gospel this week, Jesus seems frustrated that some of the people will not listen to him. When a Pharisee invited Jesus for dinner, the fellow was shocked that Jesus did not do the required ritual washing of his hands. Jesus uses this as an opportunity to talk about real purity. He recommends they give money to the poor and tells the Pharisees, “You impose on people burdens hard to carry.” As Jesus continues to challenge the Pharisees, they hatch a plot to get rid of him. Jesus tells his disciples to beware of the “leaven” or “hypocrisy” of the Pharisees. “There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known.” Jesus wants us to acknowledge him, in the face of persecution. Even when we sin, we simply cannot give up on the work of the Spirit among us. It is the Spirit who will guide us in what to say or do. LITURGY OF THE WORD First Reading Responsorial Psalm Second Reading Gospel Acclamation Gospel A reading from the prophet Isaiah 25:6-10 The Lord will prepare a banquet, and will wipe away tears from every cheek. Ps 22 In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell for ever and ever. A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Philippians 4:12-14;19-20 There is nothing I cannot master with the help of the One who gives me strength. Alleluia, alleluia! The Word was made flesh and lived among us; to all who did accept him he gave power to become children of God. Alleluia!
