The Catholic Parish of
St
Fourth Sunday of Advent
20 - 21 December 2014
Corner Perfection Ave and Bentwood Tce, Stanhope Gardens
Our Parish Mission
The parish of St John XXIII is a faith community with the Eucharist as its heart. Inspired by John XXIII’s prophetic opening
of the windows of the Church, we welcome the fresh air of the Holy Spirit, inviting every person to share in the
responsibility of enriching the life and faith of our community by sharing their gifts and talents.”
E VA N G E L I C U M
This Sunday’s Liturgy recalls that Christ’s Birth, Life and Death is “a mystery kept
secret for endless ages, but now so clear that it must be broadcast to pagans
everywhere to bring them to the obedience of faith”. In our Second Reading for
today, Paul highlights this fact, and reminds us that Scripture has predicted the
Coming of the Son.
Indeed, the prophecy of Nathan given to David about his descendants (the First
Reading) has been constantly interpreted by Christians as referring to David’s
descendant (the Messiah), Jesus. For it is Jesus who establishes the ‘kingdom’
forever!
Mary would have understood the angel’s words to be referring to the Messiah, and
she would have immediately realized that she was being asked to be the mother of
God’s Son. Mary could have exercised her free will and said ‘no’, but her ‘yes’, her
‘fiat’, allows God’s Plan for the salvation of all to come into play.
Mary’s willingness to be obedient challenges each and every one of us. As followers
of Jesus, we are called to live our lives in total obedience to God’s will for us. But
what happens? Often we listen, consenting to the words with our minds and hearts.
But ‘follow through’ doesn’t take place. We could have ‘walked the extra mile’ with
that person in need, but we didn’t. Our little ‘no’s’ in the ordinary events of life can
lead to the frustration of God’s Plan for ourselves and others. We need to take to
heart the lesson Mary gives us, and imitate her willing discipleship and obedience to
God.
For, in saying ‘yes’ to God, we too, like Mary, allow the Lord to become incarnate / to
become present in our lives, and, indeed, in the lives of others.
“I am the servant of the Lord; may His will for me be done!”

Fr John’s Corner
My thanks to all who helped in so many ways to make the Blessing of the Fr. Dave Hume’s Memorial Plaque
and the Wall of Remembrance last Sunday such a success. To Bart Sarlabus and all who worked on the
project, to Paul and Dave from the School Maintenance Team who attached the plaques on the Wall, and to
all who donated monies so that the plaques (and crosses to come) could be purchased – the Parish Community says ‘thank you’.
Please Note: some plaques have been removed, but I have them in my safekeeping, and once we can organize it, they will be returned to
the Wall.
Again, please note the Christmas Timetable in the Bulletin.
This will be the last ‘full’ bulletin until 23/24 January. Shorter versions will occur over the Holiday period.
Also, please note the Mass times for January and February. With Fr. Robert on Annual Leave from midJanuary until the end of February, there will necessarily be some masses cancelled. We are hoping to have a
Liturgy of the Word with Communion on Mondays at the normal time, but there will be no masses on Tuesday morning until Fr. Robert’s return. The normal Novena mass on Tuesday evening will continue. The first
full week of January is not affected.
Finally, please note the change to Office Hours over the Christmas New Year period: closed from 25/12 and
will reopen 2/1. Also, from January 2015 the NEW OFFICE HOURS will be: Tuesday to Friday, 8:30am
-4:00pm. However, Tanya will be taking some Annual leave in January, so the Office will be closed on
Thursdays until School resumes (27/1/15).

Fourth Sunday of Advent
First Reading
Isaiah 61:1-2. 10-11
The spirit of the Lord has been given to me,
for the Lord has anointed me.
He has sent me to bring good news to the poor,
to bind up hearts that are broken;
to proclaim liberty to captives,
freedom to those in prison;
to proclaim a year of favour from the Lord.
'I exult for joy in the Lord,
my soul rejoices in my God,
for he has clothed me in the garments of
salvation, he has wrapped me in the cloak of
integrity, like a bridegroom wearing his wreath,
like a bride adorned in her jewels.
'For as the earth makes fresh things grow,
as a garden makes seeds spring up,
so will the Lord make both integrity and praise
spring up in the sight of the nations.'
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm: Luke 1:46-50. 53-54
Second Reading
1 Thessalonians 5:16-24
Be happy at all times; pray constantly; and for all things
give thanks to God, because this is what God expects
you to do in Christ Jesus.
Never try to suppress the Spirit or treat the gift of
prophecy with contempt; think before you do anything hold on to what is good and avoid every form of evil.
May the God of peace make you perfect and holy; and
may you all be kept safe and blameless, spirit, soul and
body, for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. God has
called you and he will not fail you.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Gospel
John 1:6-8. 19-28
R. My soul rejoices in my God.
(Psalm read by Commentator or sung by Cantor)
My soul glorifies the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God, my Saviour.
He looks on his servant in her nothingness; henceforth
all ages will call me blessed.
My soul rejoices in my God.
The Almighty works marvels for me.
Holy his name!
His mercy is from age to age,
on those who fear him.
My soul rejoices in my God.
He fills the starving with good things,
sends the rich away empty.
He protects Israel, his servant,
remembering his mercy.
My soul rejoices in my God.
St John XXIII Catholic Church
A man came, sent by God. His name was John.
He came as a witness, as a witness to speak for the light,
so that everyone might believe through him.
He was not the light, only a witness to speak for the
light.
This is how John appeared as a witness. When the Jews
sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him,
'Who are you?' he not only declared, but he declared
quite openly, 'I am not the Christ.' 'Well then,' they
asked 'are you Elijah?' 'I am not' he said. 'Are you the
Prophet?' He answered, 'No.' So they said to him, 'Who
are you? We must take back an answer to those who
sent us. What have you to say about yourself?' So John
said, 'I am, as Isaiah prophesied: a voice that cries in the
wilderness: Make a straight way for the Lord.'
Now these men had been sent by the Pharisees, and
they put this further question to him, 'Why are you
baptising if you are not the Christ, and not Elijah, and
not the prophet?' John replied, 'I baptise with water; but
there stands among you unknown to you the one who
is coming after me; and I am not fit to undo his sandalstrap.' This happened at Bethany, on the far side of the
Jordan, where John was baptising.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of
heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten
Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God
from God, Light from Light, true God from true
God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the
Father; through him all things were made. For us men
and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and
by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he
suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the
third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right
hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to
judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will
have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with
the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who
has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and
I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the
life of the world to come. Amen.
Fr John, Fr. Robert, Tanya Gatt and Mila
Llamas would like to wish everyone a
Blessed and Holy Christmas and a
Happy New Year.
May the Christ-Child be born in you once
again; and may 2015 be a year of growth in
the Lord for each and every one of you.
Thank you for all you do in this marvellous

REFLECTION
Mass for Victims of Siege at Martin Place, Tuesday 16th December, 2014 - Homily of Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP
We are not used to hearing words like 'siege', 'terrorist', 'hostages' and 'security forces' associated with our city. Yet for the past day and night we were
subjected to pictures and sounds we tend to associate with alien lands. In a café only two blocks away from St Mary's Cathedral, only one block away
from the Supreme Court, even closer to the New South Wales Parliament, the Reserve Bank and the Channel 7 studio, hostages were pinned for hours
against the windows and forced to hold up a flag which blasphemously used the name of God as a threat. The distress was visible on their faces, as was
the relief of the first five to escape. We went to bed hoping to wake to good news. But despite patient efforts to maintain calm and negotiate there were, in
the early hours of this morning, flashes of gunfire, intervention by our police to save lives, merciful escapes, but finally death. Hell had touched us.
Only history will tell how much 16 December 2014 will affect our attitudes, behaviour, life-style. But today the heart of our city is broken by the deaths of
two innocent 'hostages' along with their tormentor, the injuries of four others and trauma to many more, the paralysis our city has experienced this day
past. One of the deceased was Katrina Dawson, a mother of three young children and gifted barrister, presumably on her way to chambers for another
day's service of her clients. The other, Tori Johnson, was the young manager of the café, likewise intent on serving his customers. And the third was
Sheik Man Haron Monis the perpetrator of this nightmare. Much is still unclear about him, his motivations and affiliations, and we must avoid too quickly
jumping to conclusions and pointing fingers.
We are used to living in a peaceful, tolerant, secure society in which people may enter a café and order a hot chocolate without fear: I've been a
customer at the Lindt Chocolat Café myself more than once. For such ease of living, such assumptions of safety, to be so radically challenged can be
disorienting and harden our hearts. The risk is that we become cautious, cynical, suspicious of our neighbours, or worse, that we turn on them. In the
process we undermine what we most love about our Australian way of life.
Christmas is around the corner and we have had a Christmas crib with well-lit Christmas trees, and a very beautiful laser light show projected upon the
façade of the cathedral every night. But last night it was in darkness. That is true to reality, as it often is, true to the Gospel. In the middle of all the
romance of Christmas, the astonishing Good News of God-made-man for us, the angels, shepherds and wise men adoring, the Gospels report that all
was not quite as it ought to be. There's suspicion about the pregnancy; the husband considers divorcing his wife; a mother nearing labour is required to
travel a great distance; there's no room at the motel for them; the child is delivered in the squalor of a cowshed; in the Temple the proud parents are
warned of trouble ahead; the family must flee as refugees to a strange land; meanwhile the King's men kill the rest of the little children…
So the backdrop to the Light who will dawn for us at Christmas is in fact darkness. The Way, the Truth and the Life comes to people who often lose their
way, to a civilisation sometimes more comfortable with lies than truth, to what is often a culture of death more than of life. The Christ is threatened from
the moment of His birth until the violence of this world finally catches up with Him on the cross. And our world today is every bit as mixed up as it was at
the first Christmas. There's plenty of talk of human rights, the dignity of the person, equal respect and care. We are replete with resources, technology
and know-how to help people through troubled times. Yet innocent people are threatened the world over and a little bit of what is commonplace in the
region of Christ's birth has even come to Martin Place. Christmas, we think, is supposed to be different - but in a sense it was always like this.
Yet we Christians believe that the Babe of Bethlehem is the Prince of peace, God-with-us, God-one-of-us, God-saving-us. So why, if the Prince of Peace
has come, do these terrible things keep happening? Perhaps the answer is in the first Christmas carol, when the angels sang "Glory to God in the highest
and peace on earth to those of good will." The God who saves still leaves men free. They choose whether to be of good will or not. The Christ-child
proposes peace, again and again; He gives us the wherewithal to be reconciled and live peaceably with our neighbours; but in the end we choose
whether to live in His kingdom, by His values.
Is the joy, love and peace of Christmas really possible? Or do we have to adopt a more 'realistic' posture, more cynical and self-protective? Do we have
to buy into the endless cycles of violence and recrimination? Do we have to take our own hostages? Reports have emerged this morning of the heroism
of the male victim of the siege. Apparently seeing an opportunity, Tori grabbed the gun. Tragically it went off killing him, but it triggered the response of
the police and eventual freedom for most of the hostages. Reports have also emerged that Katrina Dawson was shielding her pregnant friend from
gunfire. These heroes were willing to lay down their lives so others might live, imitating the sacrifice of Christ who said that there is no greater love than to
lay down one's life for each other (Jn 15:13). Now spontaneous tributes are appearing in Martin Place and on the internet. Leaders of all religious,
political and ethnic backgrounds are calling for calm, for prayer, for support for each other. Services are being offered for the victims, their families and
friends. The darkness need not overcome the light. Indeed, the Christmas-Easter-Christian message is: it cannot! There is something greater than hatred
and violence. There is Love, that humble, self-donative Love that comes in the shape of the Christmas Babe, the Prince of Peace. He can soften the
hardest hearts. He can convert the most hardened sinner. Come Prince of Peace. Come, O Come, Emmanuel.
