Be prepared to put our life

on the line

The   “sending”   was   a   going   in   the   place   and   name   of   Jesus.   The   first                    instruction  seems  very  harsh.  Take  a  good  walking  stick  and  sandals  –  no  

food,   money,   collecting   bag   or   no        extra  coat. What  does  this  say  about  the  correct  attitude   for   a   disciple?   It   means   a      putting   of   one’s   life   on   the   line.  We  are   disciples   by   virtue   of   what   we  bring   to   the   role   but   by   the   call   of  God.  The  journey  is  to  be  taken  in  the  name   of   God.   God   will   provide  through  the  generosity  of  the  hearers  of  the  Word.  The  disciple  is  a  channel  between  God  and  God’s  people.   The   second   instruction   is   also   clear.  When  invited  to  stay,  stay  put  for  the  duration  of  the  visit.  There  seemed  to  be   some   warning   about   ‘shopping  around’,   perhaps   for   better                                accommodation;   perhaps   because  the  hospitality  of  poorer  people  was  ignored  in  favour  of  the  rich.   Later,   some   would   take   this   to   the  extreme,   and   some   itinerant                      missionaries   were   difficult   to                          

dislodge,  so  an  extended  stay  came  to  be  read  as  a  sign  of  a  false  prophet.

(From  a  reflection  on  the  Gospel  from  the  Sisters  of  St  Joseph  of  the  Sacred  Heart)

IHS Monogram

The Pastor’s Pen After   Mass   last   Sunday   I   was   chatting   with   a   parishioner,   she   marvelled   over   the   numbers   of              Augustinian  Priests  who  had  served  in  the  Cairns  Diocese  over  the  years.  No  doubt,  having  viewed  the  names  of  deceased  Augustinian’s  in  each  Sunday’s  Bulletin  had  sparked  off  her  thinking!  I  am  also  aware  of   the  extraordinary  contribution  made  by   the  Augustinian’s,   the  challenges  and   the  hardships   they   encountered   and   I   am   reminded   that   most   served   here   in   their   youth,   while                      offering  energy  and  missionary  zeal  to  the  spread  of  the  gospel.

Those   sentiments   could   well   be   expressed   for   all   Religious   Members   of   Congregations   having  served  in  our  Diocese.

It  would  seem  that  Pope  Francis’  thinking   is  along  those  lines  when  for  the  universal  Church  he  has  called  this  to  be  a  Year  of  Consecrated  Life.   In  his  message  Pope  Francis  outlines  the  three  aims   for   the   Year:   to   look   to   the   past   with   gratitude;   to   live   the   present   with   passion;   and   to                embrace   the   future   with   hope.   “It   calls   for   following   in   the   footsteps  of  past  generations   in            order  to  grasp  the  high  ideals,  and  the  vision  and  values  which  inspired  them.” Bishop  James  Foley  and  the  Priests  of   the  Diocese  gathered   last  Friday  at  St  Monica’s  Cathedral  with  Religious  and  Laity  for  Mass  followed  by  a  Dinner,  to  say  ‘thank  you’  to  all  religious  for  their  labours  in  the  Diocese  in  the  past  and  present.

Liturgical Notes

‘The   function   of   proclaiming   the   readings   is   by          tradition  not  presidential  but  ministerial.    Therefore  the   readings   are   to   be   read   by   a   reader,   but   the            gospel  by  the  Deacon  or,  in  his  absence,  by  another  Priest.    If,  however,  a  Deacon  or  another  Priest  is  not  present,   the   Priest   Celebrant   himself   should   read  the   gospel’   (General  Instruction  of  the  Roman  Missal   59).     The   Church   does   not   expect   the              ministers   of   the   Word   to   read   the   text—they   are  called   to   proclaim   the   text.     The   assembly’s   role        during   this   proclamation   is   to   listen   to   the                      proclamation—even   the   presider   shares   this   role  with  the  assembly,  as  he  is  not  expected  to  proclaim.    Nowadays,  many   in   the   assembly   actually   read   the  text;  this  certainly  is  not  expected—we  are  all  called  to  listen  with  the  ear  of  our  heart  so  that  we  may  be  touched   by   God’s  Word.     Our   reading   of   the   text  should  be  done  before  the  celebration  as  our  way  of  preparing   for  Mass.    WE   can   them   come   ready   to      listen.    ‘Your  merciful  love,  O  God,  we  have  received  in   the  midst   of   your   temple.     Your   praise,  O  God,  like  your  name,  reaches  the  ends  of  the  earth;  your  right   hand   is   filled   with   saving   justice.’   (Entrance  Antiphon)

If  you  cannot  do  a  kind  deed,  speak  a  kind  word.
