Child Protection Sunday In 2014, Pope Francis called for a new way forward, a new direction for the Church, born out of the betrayal and suffering caused by abuse in the Church. He said: families need to know that the church is making every effort to protect their children [and vulnerable adults]. This statement echoes the sentiment of the new commandment – through our care, concern and the protection of all people, especially children and vulnerable adults, the world will see that we are Jesus’ disciples. However, this too needs to be based on objective revealed truth - real, genuine and lived-out and not just words. In response to the Pope’s statement, Archbishop Mark initiated a new way forward, designating a Safeguarding Officer for the Archdiocese, creating the new Archdiocesan Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults policy and establishing a Safeguarding Advisory Committee to assist and guide him. However, addressing abuse in the Church and implementing the Safeguarding Policy throughout the Archdiocese is not just the responsibility of the Archbishop, or even just your Parish Priest – it requires a whole of church approach. This means that everyone one of us has a part to play. There would be very few of us in the community who could throw our hands up and say, ‘I don’t need to know this stuff!’ or “It doesn’t concern me.” You may have children or even grandchildren who attend this or another Parish, you may be elderly or have elderly relatives who are ministered to by volunteers from the Parish, anyone of us could be considered a vulnerable adult at anytime through illness, grief/loss, separation or financial stress or you may be a volunteer involved in one of a number of ministries within the Parish. No matter which scenario you relate too, I am positive that we all want to know that the church is making every effort to protect everyone in our Church, especially the most vulnerable. The Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults Policy includes important elements identified by the Cont’d overleaf…..

ever.

FIRST READING: Proverbs 3:27-34

RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps 14:2-5

Lord, who shall dwell on your holy mountain?

He who walks without fault;

he who acts with justice

and speaks the truth from his heart;

he who does not slander with his tongue.

He who does no wrong to his brother,

who casts no slur on his neighbour,

who holds the godless in disdain,

but honours those who fear the Lord.

He who keeps his pledge, come what may;

who takes no interest on a loan

and accepts no bribes against the innocent.

Such a man will stand firm for ever.

I have chosen the way of truth

with your decrees before me.

Train me to observe your law,

to keep it with my heart.

Guide me in the path of your commands;

for there is my delight.

I shall always keep your law

for ever and ever.


Blessed are they who hear the word of God

and keep it.

Alleluia!

others I will acknowledge before my

Year Of Mercy 18th September 2016 | 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time

“I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.” – Abraham Lincoln POPE FRANCIS' PRAYER INTENTIONS FOR SEPTEMBER Universal: Centrality of the Human Person That each may contribute to the common good and to the building of a society that places the human person at the center. Evangelization: Mission to Evangelize That by participating in the Sacraments and meditating on Scripture, Christians may become more aware of their mission to evangelize.

Cont’d …..Truth Justice and Healing Council:

A clear written policy statement

Safe recruitment and selection processes for both employees and volunteers

A code of ethical behaviour

Training and education in conducting safe activities for children

Responsible management of disclosure

Mandatory reporting of suspected criminal behaviour to the police The implementation of this policy here in the Parish is now part a Parish Compliance Audit. There will be matters/actions/procedures that the Father, Parish Staff and/or the Local Safeguarding Officers will need to implement and there will matters that will require your involvement and support. Implemented well, this will help to prevent abuse from occurring in our Church. Monitoring of parish practices in accordance with this policy and regular auditing for compliance are also recommendations from the Truth Justice and Healing Council. These we have implemented. The Parish will be internally audited each year and, starting this year Parishes undergo an independent, external audit, the results of which will be made public in the coming weeks. I will finish by quoting His Grace Archbishop Mark, in his statement on Safeguarding Children, “A policy is only as good as the people who implement it, or fail to implement it. May the Lord give us all the strength and compassion to do whatever needs to be done.” Troy Tornabene, Safeguarding Officer, ADS

O SAVING VICTIM O saving victim opening wide The gate of heaven to us below. Our foes press on from every side Thy strength supply, thine aid bestow. All praise and thanks to thee ascend For evermore blest three in one, O grant us life that shall not end In our true native land with thee AMEN.

HYMN OF ADORATION Down in adoration falling, This great sacrament we hail; Ancient types have long departed Newer rites of grace prevail Faith for all defects supplying Where the feeble senses fail.

Glory let us give and blessing To the Father and the Son, honour, might and praise addressing while eternal ages run; Equal praise to him confessing who proceeds from both as one. AMEN V. You have given them bread from heaven R. Having in itself all delight.

PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY Lord Jesus Christ at your last supper you prayed to the Father that all should be one. Send your Holy Spirit upon all who bear your name and seek to serve you. Strengthen our faith in you, and make us love one another in humility. May we, who have been reborn in one baptism, be united in one faith under one shepherd. Amen

Benediction Hymns

and

Prayer

GOD WITH HIDDEN MAJESTY (Gather Aust. 388) God with hidden majesty, lies in presence here,

I with deep devotion my true God revere:

Whom this outward shape and form secretly contains,

Christ in his divinity manhood still retains.

All my other senses, cannot now perceive,

But my hearing, taught by faith, always will believe:

I accept whatever God the Son has said:

Those who hear the word of God, by the truth are fed.

Blest reminder of the death suffered for the world,

Sacrament of living bread, health to every mind,

Let my soul approach you, live within your grace,

Let me taste the perfect joys time shall not efface.

them and teaching them to observe all that I

have commanded you, says the Lord.

The heavens proclaim the glory of God

and the firmament shows forth the work of his

hands.

Day unto day takes up the story

and night unto night makes known the message.

No speech, no word, no voice is heard

yet their span extends through all the earth,

their words to the utmost bounds of the world.


You are God: we praise you; you are the Lord:

we acclaim you; the glorious company of

apostles praise you.

Alleluia!

RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps 89:3-6. 12-14. 17

You turn men back into dust

and say: 'Go back, sons of men.'

To your eyes a thousand years

are like yesterday, come and gone,

no more than a watch in the night.

You sweep men away like a dream,

like grass which springs up in the morning.

In the morning it springs up and flowers:

by evening it withers and fades.

Make us know the shortness of our life

that we may gain wisdom of heart.

Lord, relent! Is your anger for ever?

Show pity to your servants.

In the morning, fill us with your love;

we shall exult and rejoice all our days.

Let the favour of the Lord be upon us:

give success to the work of our hands.

Lord; no one comes to the Father, except

through me.

whose life fades like a passing shadow?


The Son of Man came to serve

and to give his life as a ransom for all.

Alleluia!

You sweep men away like a dream,

keeping your statutes.

SATURDAY MORNING

Mercy Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us

that whoever sees you sees Him.

Show us your face and we will be saved.

Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the

adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things; made Peter weep

after his betrayal,

and assured Paradise to the repentant thief.

Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan

woman:

“If you knew the gift of God!”

You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all

by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and

glorified.

You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel

compassion for those in ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought

after, loved, and forgiven by God.

Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy

may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring

good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the

blind.

We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy, you who live and reign with

the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever.

Amen.
