ASKING OF US IN AUSTRALIA
TODAY?”
Forms have been placed in the
foyer for those who do not have

complete the form and place it
in the box provided.
SOCIAL MEDIA VOLUNTEERS WANTED: to join our Making A Difference
Team for Abortion Grief Australia. Three free training sessions; Abortion
Trauma, including Impact on Men & Healing will be held to give insights into
the needs of those traumatised and those at risk.
FIRST READING Ecclesiasticus 27:4-7 In a shaken sieve the rubbish is left behind, so too the defects of a man appear in his talk. The kiln tests the work of the potter, the test of a man is in his conversation. The orchard where the tree grows is judged on the quality of its fruit, similarly a man’s words betray what he feels. Do not praise a man before he has spoken, since this is the test of men. The Word of the Lord. R. Thanks be to God. RESPONSORIAL PSALM Ps 91 R. cf. v. 2 R: Lord, it is good to give thanks to You. It is good to give thanks to the Lord to make music to Your name, O Most High, to proclaim Your love in the morning And Your truth in the watches of the night. R The just will flourish like the palm-tree and grow like a Lebanon cedar. R Planted in the house of the Lord they will flourish in the courts of our God still bearing sap when they are old, still full of sap, still green, to proclaim that the Lord is just. In Him, my rock, there is no wrong. R SECOND READING 1 Corinthians 15: 54-58
When this perishable nature has put on imperishability, and when this mortal nature has put on immortality, then the words of scripture will come true: Death is swallowed up in victory. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? Now the sting of death is sin, and sin gets its power from the Law. So let us thank God for giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Never give in then, my dear brothers, never admit defeat; keep on working at the Lord’s work always, knowing that, in the Lord, you cannot be labouring in vain. The Word of the Lord. R. Thanks be to God.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Phil 2:15-16
Alleluia, alleluia! Shine on the world like bright stars; you are offering it the word of life. Allelluia!
GOSPEL Luke 6: 39-45
Jesus told the parable to His disciples. ‘Can one
blind man guide another? Surely both will fall
into a pit? The disciple is not superior to his
teacher; the fully trained disciples will always be
like his teacher. Why do you observe the splinter
in your brother’s eye and never notice the plank
in your own? How can you say to your brother,
“Brother, let me take out the splinter that is in
your eye,” when you cannot see the plank in
your own? Hypocrite! Take the plank out of your
own eye first, and then you will see clearly
enough to take out the splinter that is in your
brother’s eye.
‘There is no sound tree that produces rotten
fruit, nor again a rotten tree that produces
sound fruit. For every tree can be told by its own
fruit; people do not pick figs from thorns, nor
gather grapes from brambles. A good man
draws what is good from the store of goodness
in his heart; a bad man draws what is bad from
the store of badness. For a man’s words flow out
of what fills his heart.’
The Gospel of the Lord.
R. Praise to You Lord Jesus Christ.
