CURRENT PARISHIONERS Please remember to update

Today's Gospel passage, as well as Chapters 8 and 9, taken from Luke's Gospel is
concerned with Jesus' identity as the Messiah, one who is greater than a prophet. ..
Throughout the chapter Jesus has been
performing miracles similar to those done by Old
Testament prophets. When John the Baptist sent
some of his disciples to Jesus to ask who he was,
Jesus listed the miracles they had seen him
perform and then compared himself with John the
Baptist to show that he was greater than John.
In today's Gospel Jesus sits down to eat a meal at
the house of Simon, a Pharisee. A sinful woman
approaches him, falls to her knees, wets his feet with her tears, dries them with her hair,
and then anoints them with oil.
After telling the story [about the nature of true forgiveness], Jesus turns to the woman and
tells her that her sins are forgiven. In this scene we see that Jesus does more than heal
physical ailments, as prophets of the past had done. He also forgives sins. This leaves the
crowd to ask, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” This question is answered in Chapter 9
by Peter when he professes that Jesus is the Messiah and at the Transfiguration when the
voice from heaven declares, “This is my chosen Son.” (Loyola Press) ………………………………………………………………………………………
This woman symbolises all who sin and she shows us how to obtain forgiveness. It is readily
found at the feet of Christ. It demands a ready recognition of God’s immense love for
sinners. It implies that the only adequate response to this unmerited love is to return that
love in a personal, intimate and grateful manner. (Redemptorists 2013)
This little poem by an anonymous author seems to sum up this process:
Something beautiful, something good
In all my confusion, Christ understood.
All I had to offer him was brokenness and strife
And he made something beautiful of my life.
Liturgy of Lament and Hope - Our Lady of the Rosary Cathedral, Waitara On Friday 3 June, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, a Liturgy of Lament and Hope to
acknowledge publicly the pain and suffering of those who have been wounded by abuse in
the Catholic Church, was held in the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Rosary, Waitara.
Bishop Peter Comensoli, Bishop of Broken Bay, called upon his brother priests and the
Diocesan faith community to join him for this sacred event, with more than 200 braving the
wild Sydney weather to come together in prayer.
The LOUD fence initiative began in the community of Ballarat. Community members tied
ribbons to the fence of St Alipius Boys School where abuse took place. An organiser of the
initiative stated: “The idea is that it’s a LOUD fence and that’s because there’s just been too much silence.” (22 May 2015)

THIS WEEK’S READINGS and PRAYERS PARISH NEWS
Thankyou to all those involved in our farewell function for Fr Thomas last
Saturday evening. Despite the inclement weather, many came to
acknowledge the special person Fr Thomas has been in carrying out his four
and a half year ministry of pastoral care in our Parish. Well loved and
respected, he will be missed.
Again, we specially thank Rosemary and her team for their tireless efforts
catering and all parishioners for their contributions.
We wish you well, Father, in your ministry in Killara-Lindfield. God bless.
Senior Parish Choir will be singing at the parish
Mass of Anointing to be held at St Patrick's this Fri-
day, 17th June, at 11am. Anyone who would like to join
this friendly, musical group and sing for parish funerals
and other events, come along and join us at this Mass.
Children's Choir is singing this weekend at 10am
Mass at St Patrick's, and any singers who are available
will also be supporting the parish/school Family Mass
for Year 2 next weekend, 19th June, at 10am Mass.
One of the important works of Mercy is to make people feel welcome and that
is one of the things the Children's Choir does so well at our parish Masses,
providing beautiful music and creating a warm atmosphere that encourages
everyone to join in and participate. Children's Choir is open to any young per-
son in the parish from Year 3 and up. Come along to one of our practices on
Fridays during school terms at 4pm to 5pm at St Patrick's church.
Enquiries for both choirs please contact Patricia Smith 9482 7935
Vinnies Winter appeal, continuing
Your Parish Conferences of Vinnies
need your support
What a change of weather last weekend? Vinnies hopes that
you were not dealt a bad hand with the storm. While the last weekend’s
weather resulted in the Mass attendances being down, many were generous to
the Vinnies Winter Appeal. The helping hand is most encouraging.
If you were planning to give, but didn’t make one of those Masses, the poor
boxes at the back of the church will see that Vinnies gets your donation.
Envelopes can still be placed on the collection plates at Masses.
We will also pick up bagged clothing from the church after this week-end.
Parish support is essential to St Vincent de Paul success. We, in the Society,
appreciate your assistance and support of the Vinnies winter appeal.
Thank you. The St.Vincent de Paul Society

RCIA
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults Each year, there are people who enquire
about the Catholic faith and how they may
belong to our parish community.
The RCIA team meets with them over the
year to answer their questions and to help
them make decisions about their faith
life.
There are two inquiry nights to be held on
June 29th and 30th in our parish. If you
have friends or family whom you think
may be interested in exploring this,
please bring them to one of the inquiry
nights.

Come and meet and chat with our parish World Youth Day pilgrims after
the Youth mass on Sunday 19th as we will be having a
small sausage sizzle. So please bring a few gold

PROCLAIM 2016 - Registrations NOW OPEN!!!
1-3 September 2016 The Concourse, Chatswood
Proclaim—Who is it for?
This Conference is for people who are interested in the new
evangelisation in parishes. It is for those who are already actively
engaged and those who desire to be part of the new evangelisation. It is
for those who are passionate about sharing faith through witness,
proclamation and service to others.
PROCLAIM 2016 will bring together over 500 Catholics over a period of
three days in Sydney and is for clergy, religious, diocesan and parish
staff and volunteers in parish ministry, married and single people, young
and old—to discuss, exchange and learn fresh ways in which parishes
can become evangelising communities of the twenty-first century.
Held across three days from 1-3 September 2016 at The Concourse in
Chatswood, PROCLAIM 2016 will draw upon the inspiration of this
Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy and the ongoing missionary challenge of
Pope Francis’ Evangelii Gaudium.
Participants will gain invaluable support, ideas
and pastoral initiatives for their parish
communities from keynote speakers Cardinal
Donald Wuerl of the Archdiocese of
Washington, Bishop Nicholas Hudson of the
Archdiocese of Westminster; Dr Susan Timoney
(Washington) and Mr Daniel Ang Director,
Office for Evangelisation, Catholic Diocese of
Broken Bay.

Liturgy of Lament and Hope—
Our Lady of the Rosary
Cathedral, Waitara Opportunities for expressing lament
such as this are important – a time at
which people can give voice and shape
to shared feelings of sadness, regret
and solidarity for what has occurred in
our communities, and a time for the
Diocese as a family to pray for those
who have been wounded and turn
towards the Lord with hope for
healing.
The Liturgy begins a special week-long
focus in the Diocese of Broken Bay during which local faith communities
are invited to become more aware of all those who have been impacted
by the darkness of abuse within the Church.
During the week, the community of Broken Bay will also seek to become
more conscious of our shared responsibility to build a culture of
safeguarding for our children and those who are vulnerable.
A dedicated space at the Cathedral in Waitara, and in the Diocesan
Offices at Pennant Hills has been established, where anyone who wishes
can take time to pray for those who have been abused – those whom we
know and those who we do not know – and for each of us, who are
impacted by such evil.
A LOUD Fence has also been established at both sites, and workshops
are being offered for staff to explore the impact of working for the Church
in these times of the Royal Commission.
If you have any concerns about safeguarding or professional standards in
the Diocese of Broken Bay, please contact : [email protected] or
Anne Walker, Chancellor, on 9847 0430 or
Jodie Crisafulli, Manager — Safe-Guarding and Professional Standards
on 9847 0212.
A copy of the Liturgy of Lament and Hope booklet is available for download on our parish website.

Prayers and thoughts for those affected by the storms “Our Diocese of Broken Bay is blessed to have some of the most beautiful
beaches and waterways in the world. This recent devastating storm has
deeply affected many of our people from the Central Coast right through
to regions north Sydney, especially in Narrabeen and Collaroy.
Our prayers are with those impacted profoundly by this weather. I would
like to express my deep gratitude to the Police, NSW SES, NSW Fire and
Rescue and all who have worked tirelessly, as always, to assist those
affected and to ensure the ongoing safety of residents and families.
We keep in our prayers the many affected throughout the east coast of
Australia, especially the families and friends who have lost loved ones.”
