Entrance Antiphon My eyes are always on the Lord, for he rescues my feet from the snare. Turn to me and have mercy on me, for I am alone and poor.
First Reading Book of Exodus (20:1-3, 7-8, 12-17) God spoke all these words. He said, ‘I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.’ ‘You shall have no gods except me. ‘You shall not make yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything in heaven or earth beneath or in the waters under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I, the Lord your God am a jealous God and I punish the father’s fault in the sons, the grandsons, and the great-grandsons of those who hate me; but I show kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not utter the name of the Lord your God to misuse it, for the Lord will not leave unpunished the man who utters his name to misuse it. Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. For six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath for the Lord your God. You shall do no work on that day, neither you nor your animals nor the stranger who lives with you. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that these hold, but on the seventh day he rested; that is why the Lord has blessed the Sabbath day and made it sacred. Honour your father and your mother so that you may have a long life in the land that the Lord your God has given to you. You shall not kill. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour. You shall not covet your neighbour’s house. You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or his servant, man or woman, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is his.’
Responsorial Psalm Psalm 18 R. Lord, you have the words of everlasting life.
The law of the Lord is perfect, it revives the soul. The rule of the Lord is to be trusted, it gives wisdom to the simple. (R)
The precepts of the Lord are right, they gladden the heart. The command of the Lord is clear, it gives light to the eyes. (R)
The fear of the Lord is holy, abiding for ever. The decrees of the Lord are truth and all of them just. (R) They are more to be desired than gold, than the purest of gold and sweeter are they than honey, than honey
from the comb. (R)
Second Reading First letter of St Paul to the Corinthians (1:22-25) While the Jews demand miracles and the Greeks look for wisdom, here are we preaching a crucified Christ; to the Jews an obstacle that they cannot get over, to the pagans madness, but to those who have been called, whether they are Jews or Greeks, a Christ who is the power and the wisdom of God. For God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength.
Gospel Acclamation Glory and praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ, king of endless glory!
God loved the world so much, he gave us his only Son, that all who believe in him might have eternal life.
Glory and praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ, king of endless glory!
Gospel John (2:13-25) Just before the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and in the Temple he found people selling cattle and sheep and pigeons, and the money changers sitting at their counters there. Making a whip out of some cord, he drove them all out of the Temple, cattle and sheep as well, scattered the money changers’ coins, knocked their tables over and said to the pigeon-sellers, ‘Take all this out of here and stop turning my Father’s house into a market.’ Then his disciples remembered the words of scripture: Zeal for your house will devour me. The Jews intervened and said, ‘What sign can you show us to justify what you have done?’ Jesus answered, ‘Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.’ The Jews replied, ‘It has taken forty-six years to build this sanctu-ary: are you going to raise it up in three days?’ But he was speaking of the sanctuary that was his body, and when Jesus rose from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the words he had said. During his stay in Jerusalem for the Passover many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he gave, but Jesus knew them all and did not trust himself to them; he never needed evidence about any man; he could tell what a man had in him.
The Memorial Acclamation We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.
Communion Antiphon The sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for her young; by your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. Blessed are they who dwell in your house, for ever singing your praise.

Pastoral Corner
In this Week’s Gospel, the cleansing of the temple, which Jesus recognises as God’s house, was a chal-lenge to the religious leaders and political system of Jesus’ day. It was one of the key reasons for his death on the Cross.
Jesus made it clear that he was replacing temple worship. From now on, the Centre of God’s presence among the people would be his risen body. The body of the risen Lord would include all those who be-lieve in him and accept his spirit. Together they would become the temple of God on earth.

Lenten Reflection on the EASTER TRIDUUM The Sacred Paschal Tridu-um or Easter Triduum of the Passion and Resurrection of the Lord is the culmination of the Liturgical Year. It begins with the Thursday evening of the Lord's Supper, through the Good Friday of the Passion of the Lord, culminating in the Easter Vigil of the Holy Night and closes with Vespers on Sunday of the Resurrection. This short 3-session pro-gram will take you briefly through the Paschal Mystery by recounting, through the Passion and Resurrection Narratives in the Gospels (of Jn and Mk), of the last three days of Jesus’ life on earth. It is offered as a Lenten Reflection as we approach Easter with the focus that the Triduum though chronologically three days, is liturgically one, thus un-folding for us the unity of Christ’s Paschal Mystery. FREE. 3 Wednes-days, 21 Feb – 7 Mar 2018, 7 – 9pm, St Emilie Meeting Hall. Registra-tion: Helen Ng [email protected] Mob: 0438926463.

Church Workers Safeguarding Training: The Catholic Archdiocese of Perth’s Safeguarding Program is child focused and is committed to the principle that children have an absolute right to physical, spiritual and psychological safety at all times and that the Church as a Christian in-stitution should now, and into the future, be in the forefront of efforts to make this a reality. The Safeguarding Program has been included as a key element of the Archbishop’s Archdiocesan Plan. The Archdio-cese is offering this training session at three venues namely, the Ca-thedral, in Mt Hawthorn and Applecross in March, June and October respectively. However, for the convenience of our Parish volunteers, a special training program will be conducted by Andrea Musulin, Direc-tor Safeguarding, Archdiocese of Perth for all those involved in church work on Thursday, 15 March 2018 from 6:30 - 8:00PM at the Sacred Heart Parish Thornlie in the Foley Centre. As a volunteer/church worker within the Archdiocese, it is paramount that you are familiar with the Safeguarding Program and how it impacts on your role in the Parish. Please contact Amanda Pereira, MOB: 042 339 6822 or Terry Ryan, MOB: 0427 429 278 or register your name on the list provided in the foyer. Coffee, tea and biscuits will be provided.
