REFLECTION

Immediately after Peter’s confession of Jesus as the Messiah, Jesus

clarifies how his concept of Messiah includes suffering and the cross. Three insights can be drawn from the readings of today’s

liturgy. a) Suffering and cross precede glory and exaltation: The Lord will bless the house of Israel and the house of Judah. But this will happen only when the enemies have had their fill. b) In and through Baptism we share the passion, death and resurrection of

Jesus: St Paul tells the Galatians that all those who are baptised includes

both his suffering and glorification. c) One should have the right perception of Jesus as the Messiah:

The disciples had a limited and earthly perception of Jesus. This ignorance springs from a misconception about the Messiah.

What is my perception of Jesus as the Messiah? How does it affect my approach to moments of suffering and honour

in my life?

PARISH NEWS/EVENTS

La confessione di Pietro, l’annuncio della passione di Gesù e

l’invito a seguire il suo esempio costituiscono un’unità organi-

ca. Gesù è il Messia, ma non come quello di cui fantasticavano

gli uomini. Egli segue il cammino tracciato da Dio, che è il

cammino della croce. Chiunque vuole essere con lui, deve se-

guirlo in questo cammino. Rispetto agli altri evangelisti, Luca

introduce alcuni cambiamenti ed accenti caratteristici. Non

cita il luogo della conversazione di Gesù con i discepoli, lega

questa conversazione alla preghiera di Gesù e, soprattutto,

rivolge a tutti l’invito ad imitare Cristo. È un invito im-

portante, che non è rivolto solo agli eletti, ai santi e agli uomi-

ni pronti all’eroismo. Tutti i credenti sono discepoli di Cristo.

Egli non li tratta come mercenari, ma come amici, vuole che lo

accompagnino nel suo cammino e prendano parte alle sue

sofferenze. Il suo destino deve essere anche il loro. Che essi

portino ogni giorno la loro croce. Gesù non parla del martirio,

che può capitare una sola volta, ma delle sofferenze che

ognuno incontra nell’adempimento serio del proprio dovere e

delle difficoltà quotidiane che devono essere sopportate pa-

zientemente grazie all’amore per lui.

PARISH NEWS/EVENTS

Something to think about ….. When questioned by Jesus, Peter gives the right answer: “You are the Messiah of God” But this response is mainly head knowledge as yet. He will later deny that he even knows Jesus. But at the lake he shows that his heart is at least fully engaged when he responds to Jesus “ You know I love you “ Note that this event emerges from Jesus’ prayer. Luke thus gives us a hint that what Jesus says is of critical importance . Do I pray before important events, asking that I may be in tune with what God would wish ? The St Vincent de Paul WINTER

APPEAL 2016. This year the Society is focussing the

Winter Appeal on homelessness. The

Society President, Denis Walsh

announced as he launched this year's

Winter Appeal that "Women in

Australia are experiencing

homelessness at a rate of more than

double that of the UK. 59% of

Australians seeking help from specialist homelessness services

are women which is significantly higher rates than the UK's 26%

and the USA's 38%"

Members of St Kevin's and St John's regularly provide a hand up

to persons experience hardship and homelessness. This support is

only possible through your continued generous donations and

support throughout the year.

Homelessness affects young people, older people and couples

and families. It is said there sometimes are only 2 pay packets

between being in a home and being homelessness and loss of job,

or family tragedy can tip the scales in the short space if one

months Our members are seeing a continuing upward trend of

individuals and families who have no where to live and this

includes children. Thank you for your prayers, donations and

support. Brigid Martin on behalf of St Kevin's St Vincent de

Paul Society

Catholic Women’s League Members will meet at St. John’s on Monday 20th June after rosary in the church at 1.30pm. All welcome.

PROCLAIM 2016 early bird registration ends 27 June

This national conference on parish evangelisation

hosted by the Diocese of Broken Bay will run from 1-3

September at Chatswood. The theme, ‘On a Mission of

Mercy: Evangelising Parishes’, embraces the challenge

language and structures can be suitably channelled for

the evangelisation of today’s world (Evangelii

Gaudium 27). Keynote speakers include Cardinal

Donald Wuerl of Washington, Bishop Nicholas Hudson

of Westminster and Dr Susan Timoney from

Washington. Program details and early bird

registration at: www.proclaimconference.com.au

Domenica 26 giugno alla Messa Italiana delle ore 10.30 ci sarà anche uno speciale ricordo di San Giovanni Battista la cui solennità liturgica cade due giorni prima (24). Ci sono tra noi ancora molti devoti che ricorrono a lui e si fermano a pregare davanti alla sua statua collocata in fondo alla nostra chiesa. E’ giusto quindi non lasciar passare inosservata questa bella tradizione.

VENETIAN GLASS MOSAIC FOR ST KEVIN’S CHURCH Please view the flyer placed on the notice boards at both churches if you would like to see the pencil drawing of the proposed Venetian glass mosaic which is to be placed above the altar in St Kevin’s Church Dee Why. This design has been influenced by the glorious stained glass rose windows seen in the cathedrals of Europe. It has been designed and will also be created by Toni Byrne, one of Australia’s leading mosaic artists. Her work is represented in many churches, boardrooms and schools from The Rockefeller Centre in New York to St John’s at Narraweena.

Entrance Antiphon

The Lord is the strength of his people, a saving refuge for the one he has anointed. Save your people, Lord, and bless your heritage, and govern them for ever.

First Reading: Zechar iah 12:10-11; 13:1

A reading from the prophet Zechariah It is the Lord who speaks: 'Over the House of David and the citizens of Jerusalem I will pour out a spirit of kindness and prayer. They will look on the one whom they have pierced; they will mourn for him as for an only son, and weep for him as people weep for a first-born child. When that day comes, there will be great mourning in Judah, like the mourning of Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. When that day comes, a fountain will be opened for the House of David and the citizens of Jerusalem, for sin and impurity.'

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm: Ps 62:2-6. 8-9

R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.

O God, you are my God, for you I long; for you my soul is thirsting. My body pines for you like a dry, weary land without water. R.

So I gaze on you in the sanctuary to see your strength and your glory. For your love is better than life, my lips will speak your praise. R.

So I will bless you all my life, in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul shall be filled as with a banquet, my mouth shall praise you with joy. R.

For you have been my help; in the shadow of your wings I rejoice. My soul clings to you; your right hand holds me fast. R.

Second Reading: Galatians 3:26-29

A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Galatians You are, all of you, sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. All baptised in Christ, you have all clothed yourselves in Christ, and there are no more distinctions between Jew and Greek, slave and free, male and fe-male, but all of you are one in Christ Jesus. Merely by belonging to Christ you are the posterity of Abraham, the heirs he was promised.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation: John 10:27

Alleluia, alleluia! My sheep listen to my voice, says the Lord; I know them, and they follow me. Alleluia!

Gospel : Luke 9:18-24

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

One day when Jesus was praying alone in the presence of his disciples he put this question to them, 'Who do the crowds say I am?' And they answered, 'John the Baptist; others Elijah; and others say one of the ancient prophets come back to life.' 'But you,' he said, 'who do you say I am?' It was Peter who spoke up. 'The Christ of God,' he said. But he gave them strict orders not to tell anyone anything about this.

'The Son of Man', he said, 'is destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be put to death, and to be raised up on the third day.'

Then to all he said, 'If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross every day and follow me. For anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, that man will save it.'

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Communion Antiphon

The eyes of all look to you, Lord, And you give them their food in due season.
