your Son,

First Reading (EX 17:8-13)

A reading from the book of Exodus

The Amalekites came and attacked Israel at

Rephidim. Moses said to Joshua, „Pick out men for

yourself, and tomorrow morning march out to en-

gage Amalek. I, meanwhile, will stand on the hill-

top, the staff of God in my hand,‟ Joshua did as

Moses told him and marched out to engage

Amalek, while Moses and Aaron and Hur went up

to the top of the hill. As long as Moses kept his

arms raised, Israel had the advantage; when he let

his arms fall, the advantage went to Amalek. But

Moses‟ arms grew heavy, so they took a stone and

put it under him and on this he sat, Aaron and Hur

supporting his arms, one on one side, one on the

other; and his arms remained firm until sunset.

With the edge of the sword Joshua cut down

Amalek and his people.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Responsorial psalm R: Our help is in the name of the Lord

who made heaven and earth.

I lift up my eyes to the mountains:

from where shall my come my help?

My help shall come from the Lord

who made heaven and earth. (R.)

May he never allow you to stumble!

Let him sleep not, your guard.

No, he sleeps not nor slumbers,

Israel‟s guard. (R.)

The Lord is your guard and your shade;

at your right hand side he stands.

By day the sun shall not smite you

nor the moon in the night. (R.)

The Lord will guard you from evil,

he will guard your soul.

The Lord will guard your going and coming

both now and for ever. (R)

Second Reading (2 tm 3:14-4:2)

A reading from the second letter of St Paul to

Timothy.

You must keep to what you have been taught and

know to be true; remember who your teachers

were, and how, ever since you were a child, you

have known the holy scriptures– from these you

can learn the wisdom that leads to salvation

through faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is in-

spired by God and can profitably be used for

teaching, for refuting error, for guiding peoples

lives and teaching them to be holy. This is how the

man who is dedicated to God becomes fully

equipped and ready for any good work.

Before God and before Christ Jesus who is to be

the judge of the living and the dead, I put this duty

to you, in the name of his Appearing and of his

kingdom: proclaim the message and, welcome or

unwelcome, insist on it. Refute falsehood, correct

error, call to obedience-but do all with patience and

with the intention of teaching.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation Alleluia, alleluia.

May the father of our Lord Jesus Christ

enlighten the eyes of your mind,

so that we can see what hope his call holds for

us.

Alleluia.

Gospel A reading from the holy Gospel according to

Luke

Jesus told his disciples a parable about the need to

pray continually and never lose heart. ‟There was a

judge in a certain town‟ he said‟ who had neither

fear of God nor respect for man. In the same town

there was a widow who kept on coming to him

saying,” I want justice from you against my en-

emy!” For a long time he refused, but at last he

said to himself, “ Maybe I have neither fear of God

nor respect for man, but since she keeps pestering

me I must give this widow her just rights, or she will

persist in coming and worry me to death.” „

And the Lord said‟ you notice what the unjust has

to say?. Now will not God see justice done to his

chosen who cry to him day and night even when

he delays to help them?. I promise you, he will see

justice done to them, and done speedily. But when

the Son of Man comes, will he find any faith on

earth ?.

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Profession of Faith 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 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 suf-

fered 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

Hymns

Though we are many

Though we are many, we are one body,

we who come to share this living bread;

Cup of salvation, shared among all

Nations, nourishing us now and evermore.

We gather in this place

round the table of the Lord.

Christ‟s presence is revealed

in our communion and his Living Word.

Hail Queen of heaven

Hail, Queen of heaven, the ocean star,

Guide of the wanderer here below,

Thrown on life's surge, we claim thy care,

Save us from peril and from woe.

Mother of Christ, Star of the sea

Pray for the wanderer, pray for me.

O gentle, chaste, and spotless Maid,

We sinners make our prayers to thee;

Remind thy Son that He has paid

The price of our iniquity.

Virgin most pure, O star of the sea,

Pray for the sinner, pray for me.

You satisfy the hungry heart

You satisfy the hungry heart

with gift of finest wheat,

come give to us o saving Lord,

the bread of life to eat.

As when the shepherd calls his sheep,

they know and heed his voice;

that You should count us worthy Lord, to share this heavenly food.

October 2019: Extraordinary Month of Mission

Prayer Heavenly Father,

when your only begotten Son Jesus Christ rose from the dead,

He commissioned his followers to ‘go and make disciples of all nations’

and you remind us that through our Baptism we are made sharers in the mission of the church.

Empower us by the Gifts of the Holy Spirit to be courageous and zealous in bearing witness to the

Gospel, so that the mission Entrusted to the Church, which is still very far from completion,

may find new expressions that bring life and light to the world

Help us make it possible for all peoples

to experience the saving love and mercy of Jesus Christ, Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy

Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.

World Mission Sunday Together we are mission

Dear Friends, This year’s World Mission Sunday them ‘Together We Are Mission’, Is a message for everyone. As Pope Francis said in his World Mission Sunday Message, ‘I am a mission, always; you are a mission, always; every baptised man and woman is a mission.’ This goes to the heart of our baptismal call. It also challenges the idea that mission work is solely done by missionaries, by asking people to consider the part their own mission-ary hearts can play in changing the lives of others.

During this Extraordinary Month of Mission, World Mission Sunday will take place over the weekend of Sunday 20th October. Since its announcement in1926 by Pope Pius XI, the entire global Church comes to-gether during this time to support mission. Our church is a global community. We depend on one another, on our shared prayer, solidarity and generosity. This spe-cial papal celebration recognises this by calling every parish, in every corner of the world, to stand together and share what they can-no matter how little. Archbishop Kieran O’Reilly

Harvest Mass On Saturday Oct. 26th Harvest Masses will be cele-brated at 6.15pm in St. Mary of the Rosary and 7.30pm in St. John the Baptist. Anyone who would like to donate / loan produce of the land please con-tact the Parish Office on or before Friday 25th. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to thank God for the fruits of the earth. Thank you.
