Andrew Oberthur Jason Swemmer Anthony Vassallo Brendan Bartlett Leanne Chappell Geoff Fisher RESPONSORIAL PSALM: I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, LORD, MY STRENGTH. I love you. Lord, my strength, my rock, my fortress, my saviour. My God is the rock where I take refuge; my shield, my mighty help, my stronghold. The Lord is worthy of all praise: when I call I am saved from my foes. R. Long life to the Lord, my rock! Praised be the God who saves me. He has given great victories to his king and shown his love for his anointed. R. Loving as God Loves Today is the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time and just as we enter into the final phase of the Ordinary Time, the Scripture Readings of today remind us of what is most important. It is the commandment to love. The First Reading from the Book of Exodus assures us of the Lord’s compassionate stance for the needy and vulnerable. He cares for the foreigners, the widows and orphans, and the poor. He defends them because of his merciful nature as God. Just as the Lord is kind and merciful to the poor and needy among us, so must we be. The Second Reading from St Paul's 1st Letter to the Thessalonians illustrates the dynamics of love at work in the early Christian community in Thessalonica. Having Penny Carroll Stephen Tomlin Sarah Warner David Todd (Chair) experienced the saving love of Christ preached and witnessed to them by St. Paul and his companions, they opened their hearts to the Gospel and imitated their Christian example. Moreover, the life that they lived by the power of the Holy Spirit enabled them to spread their loving faith in God to surrounding places. In the Gospel Reading from St. Matthew, Jesus is asked for the greatest of the commandments. He does not say that it is 'love of God' alone, but adds 'love of neighbour' to it. Jesus gives them both. He is asked for one commandment and answers with two. Perhaps an indication that He saw them as one and the same thing. To love God is to love one's neighbour. One cannot claim to love God and not care for others. By radically connecting the love of God with the love of neighbour, Jesus brings in a new teaching. It is God who first loves us and that makes us able to love ourselves and therefore to be grateful for the gift of ourselves. This awareness of life as gift is what we mean by loving God. We cannot love ourselves without being grateful to God, and it is this gratitude to God that sets us free really to love other people. Too often the value that we place upon others is tied up with what they can do for us - 'What is their value to me?' Truly loving one's neighbour entails valuing them as gifts of God. Not only are we gifts of God, and our neighbours gifts of God, but the love with which we love ourselves and others is the expression of our love for God.

We are the young— our lives are a mystery we are the old— who yearn for your face, we have been sung throughout all of history, called to be light to the whole human race.

How Can I Keep From Singing My life flows on in endless song Above Earth's lamentation I hear the real though far-off hymn That hails a new creation Refrain: No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that rock I'm clinging Since love is Lord of heaven and earth How can I keep from singing Above the tumult and the strife I hear its music ringing It sounds an echo in my soul How can I keep from singing R DISMISSAL: On Eagle’s Wings M. Joncas (c) NDM 1. You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, who abide in his shadow for life, say to the Lord: “My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!”R And he will raise you up on eagle’s wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of his hand. 2. The snare of the fowler will never capture you, and famine will bring you no fear: under his wings your refuge, his faithfulness your shield. R 3. You need not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day; though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come.
