Dear Parishioners,
1. Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
In the Gospel, some Greeks ask to see Jesus.
Jesus responds by saying that anyone who loves
his life will lose it; to gain your life, you have to be
like a grain of wheat which brings forth much fruit
only by falling into the earth and dying.
The Greeks must have been baffled. What has this speech of Jesus’
got to do with their request to see him?
But consider those Greeks. They accord Jesus rock-star status. They
don’t even ask to talk to the great man. They want only to see him. And
they don’t dare come to Jesus directly. They just approach one of his
friends, Philip, and they call Philip “Sir” - Kyrie. Even Lady Gaga’s
groupies wouldn’t call one of her friends, “Lord,” would they?

Jesus’ response helps those Greeks to see him - the true Lord, not the
rock-star the Greeks were looking for. The true Lord did not come to get
status and power. He came to lose his life, to fall and die, like a grain of
All Hallows’ Parish School wheat.

Sacramental Life
Eucharist:
Saturday - 9.00am & 5.30pm Vigil
Sunday - 8.30am
Sunday - 10am Children’s Liturgy
Sunday - 6.00pm Youth Mass
Monday - 9.00am
Tues - Wed - 8.00am
Thurs - Fri - 9.00am
Lauds (morning prayer) is prayed 20
minutes before morning mass daily.
All Welcome.
Reconciliation: Saturday
9.30 - 10am & 4.45 - 5.15pm
Anointing: First Friday of the
month at 9am mass. (except January).
The point is made emphatically at the end of Jesus’ response to the
Greeks. He ends with a prayer. “Father,” he prays, “glorify your
name.” Jesus, the true Lord and not the rock star, came to seek God’s
glory. He did not come to seek not his own glory.
The final part of the lesson for the Greeks and for us comes in God’s
response to Jesus’ prayer. God honors Jesus by answering his prayer
out loud: “I have glorified My name, and I will glorify it again!”
“This voice didn’t come for my sake, but for yours,” Jesus tells the awed
bystanders. God’s voice came to finish the lesson: God honors those
who seek to honor him.
True glory lies not in rock-star status, then, but, on the contrary, in being
willing to fall and die like a grain of wheat. It consists in being willing to
let go, to lose one’s life in this world in love for the glory of God’s name.
And so the Greeks do get what they asked for. In the response of Jesus
to them, they and we see the true Lord, and with the true Lord the
pattern for going for glory in our lives, too. Glory, glory, hallelujah!

All Hallows' Parish Fishing Trip
Last Saturday, twenty-three men from the Parish
including Father Greg and Father Salas left the
Thames Street Wharf at Balmain at 7am with high
hopes of catching plenty of fish. The eskies varied in
size which showed some were more optimistic than
others. Cruising out through the harbour was helped
with short black coffees supplied by Tony Geronimo.
From the moment we stopped the engines the fish
were on. The skipper said he'd never seen so many
King Fish caught. It was a fantastic day. Special
thanks to Joe Saija for coordinating the day.
We will keep you posted for the next event.
John Velluti - Parish Pastoral Council
