CHURCH REPAIR UPDATE: Our church roof repair is completed now. The whole roofs have been replaced with proper bolts. Painting inside the church roof needs to be

completed. I hope that Catholic Church Insurance will support us to cover some of the expenses. Parish has to spend $79200.00 dollars just to replace the roof. This amount is from our reserve and long term saving fund (emergency). Some parishioners so far have donated $3520.00 dollars. I like to thank all the parishioners who have generously donated. Church needs more ongoing support and it is all part of the maintenance. I encourage all parishioners to continue your donation and to consider to join in our Parish Planned giving Programme… Fr Paul.

FR JOHN REA’S HEALING CRUSADE 2019: Fr John Rea will be holding a Healing Crusade in Perth from Wednesday 18 September to Sunday 27 October. The

Healing Crusade will be held at different venues and times. Further info: mefirth@hotmail.com.

POPE FRANCIS: General Audience on 7 August 2019. St Peter’s Square - Vatican City. In his catechesis on the Acts of the Apostles, Pope Francis focused this week on the first account of healing in the Book of

Acts (Acts 3:3-6): Peter and John’s healing of the Paralytic. “In the Acts of the Apostles”, began Pope Francis, “the preaching of the Gospel does not only rely on words, but on concrete actions that bear witness to the truth of the proclamation”. These, said the Pope, are wonders and signs, which “confirm” the work of the Apostles, “showing that they act in the name of Christ.” Pope Francis explained that the beggar, in meeting the apostles, “does not find money, but the name that saves: Jesus Christ the Nazarene”. Peter then orders the paralytic to stand and, in taking his right hand, helps him up. Through this, said Pope Francis, Peter personifies the Church, who “sees those who are in difficulty, does not close her eyes, and knows how to look humanity in the face in order to create meaningful relationships, bridges of friendship and solidarity instead of barriers.” Pope Francis then continued his comparison, explaining that the apostles look at the beggar and say "look at us". They reach out to him, they lift him up and they heal him. This,

said the Pope, is what Jesus does with all of us. Through bad times, in moments of sin, in moments of sadness, “Jesus says to us ‘Look at me: I am here!'" Therefore, said the Pope, “Let us take the hand of Jesus and allow ourselves to be lifted up”. Finally, the Pope explained that Peter and John teach us not to trust in the means used to heal, which he said, “are also useful”. Rather, trust in “the true wealth that is the relationship with the Risen One.” "Let us not forget", concluded the Pope, "that it is Jesus' hand that through our own helps others to rise".

OUR LADY of MT CARMEL NOVENA God our Father, prompted by Your Spirit the order of Carmel has from the beginning dedicated itself to the Mother of Your Son. As she unites her prayers with ours, look with favour upon us and bless our families, keep each of us from harm And bring us to the joy of heaven. We ask this through Jesus the Lord. Amen.

SOULS in PURGATORY PRAYER Eternal Father, I offer You the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, for those in my own home, and in my family. Amen.

OUR LADY of ALL NATIONS PRAYER Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father, send now Your Spirit over the earth. Let the Holy Spirit live in the hearts of all nations, that they may be preserved from degeneration, disaster and war. May the Lady of All Nations, the Blessed Virgin Mary, be our Advocate. Amen.

ST THERESE’S DAILY PRAYER FOR PRIESTS O Jesus, Eternal Priest, Keep your priests within the shelter of Your Sacred Heart. Keep unstained their anointed hands, which daily touch Your Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips, daily purpled with Your Precious Blood. Keep pure and unearthly their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood. Let Your holy love surround them and shield them from the world’s contagion. May the souls to whom they minister be their joy and consolation, here and in heaven, their beautiful and everlasting crown. Amen.
