4th Sunday of Easter; ANZAC Day

Served by the Discalced Carmelite Friars

(Jn 10:14-15)

ANZAC Day 2021

On 25th April we celebrate Anzac Day! We pause to pray and we honour the men

and women who went to war for us and for our nation. What a beautiful season to

celebrate ANZAC Day: when death is made more meaningful and significant by

the Lord’s Resurrection. We honour these men and women who served in the

Armed Forces: not only because they offered their lives as a sacrifice but because

they defined before the world who we are and what we Australians. We bow our

heads with respect as we enthrone them as heroes in our hearts. Let us enjoy this

most sacred day and we remember them in a special way during this Sunday mass

time.

“No greater love has a man that to lay down his life for others.” (Jn 15:13)

Fourth Easter of Sunday

Jesus the Good Shepherd

On 23rd March 2020 I received my appointment letter as Parish Priest from our

Bishop Gerard: “With this letter I appoint you Parish Priest of Mandurah for six

years entrusting all Catholics in the parish to your pastoral care with the

responsibilities of Parish Administrator in accordance with Canon 540”. It was a

two and half pages document stating the role and responsibility of a good shepherd. I

would like to highlight some of the areas where Bishop wanted me to look into it and

they are:

“In accordance with Canon 529, I ask you to lead in love those entrusted to your

pastoral care by visiting their homes, sharing their cares and anxieties and

comforting them in times of sorrow, helping the sick, showing spiritual love to the

dying, seeking out the poor, the suffering, the lonely, refugees and those burdened by

special difficulties, supporting those who are married and families.”

The above paragraph speaks a lot about the duty of a good shepherd and pastor. The

primary plan of God is to take care of his flock through human beings whom He

places over it as shepherds. However, experience shows that oftentimes the

shepherds have failed in feeding, protecting and caring for the flock.

Jesus became a shepherd to the people who were harassed and helpless. He prepared

other shepherds for them. Today also man is harassed and helpless to the face of all

the powers and problems that confront him. Problems like poverty, unemployment,

lack of basic necessities, diseases, wars, terrorism, etc. The world needs shepherd

who are ready to lay down their lives for their sheep. This is not a special calling to

be priests and nuns. Every Christian is called to be a shepherd in his own small fold,

his family, his neighbourhood, his community. Together then we can celebrate the

fullness of life and fruit of our efforts.

Queen of May

May devotions to the blessed Virgin Mary is a holy tradition that we keep up

in our parish. We invite all to gather at the Grotto of our church at 9am on

2nd May 2021 (Sunday) for the procession and rosary around the church and

the crowning of Our Lady. Kindly bring flowers to be placed at her sanctuary.

Have a beautiful ANZAC Day! Fr Johny Arattukulam, OCD

To support the celebration of the Year of St Joseph, we will have the Votive Mass of St Joseph on the first Wednesday of each month

at 7:30 am and 5pm. The next Mass will be on 5 May.

Everyone is welcome.

Saturday, 1st May at 7:30 am Mass followed by Eucharistic Adoration with Prayers

for Parents and their Unborn concluding with Benediction.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Ps 117:1, 8–9, 21-23, 26, 28-29 R. The stone rejected by the builders has become the corner stone. or R. Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, for his love has no end. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in men: it is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. R. I will thank you for you have given answer and you are my saviour. The stone which the builders rejected has become the corner stone. This is the work of the Lord, a marvel in our eyes. R. Blessed in the name of the Lord is he who comes. We bless you from the house of the Lord; I will thank you for you have given answer and you are my saviour. Give thanks to the Lord for he is good; for his love has no end. R.

First Reading

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 4:8–12 Filled with the Holy Spirit, Peter said: 'Rulers of the people, and elders! If you are questioning us today about an act of kindness to a cripple, and asking us how he was healed, then I am glad to tell you all, and would indeed be glad to tell the whole people of Israel, that it was by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, the one you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by this name and by no other that this man is able to stand up perfectly healthy, here in your presence today. This is the stone rejected by you the builders, but which has proved to be the keystone. For of all the names in the world given to men, this is the only one by which we can be saved.'

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

SECOND READING

A reading from the first letter of St John 3:1–2

Think of the love that the Father has lavished on us, by letting us be called God’s children; and that is what we are. Because the world refused to acknowledge him, therefore it does not acknowledge us. My dear people, we are already the children of God but what we are to be in the future has not yet been revealed; all we know is, that when it is revealed we shall be like him because we shall see him as he really is. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Gospel acclamation

Alleluia, alleluia! I am the good shepherd, says the Lord;

I know my sheep, and mine know me. Alleluia!

GOSPEL

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John 10:11–18

Jesus said: 'I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd is one who lays down his life for his sheep. The hired man, since he is not the shepherd and the sheep do not belong to him, abandons the sheep and runs away as soon as he sees a wolf coming, and then the wolf attacks and scatters the sheep; this is because he is only a hired man and has no concern for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for my sheep. And there are other sheep I have that are not of this fold, and these I have to lead as well. They too will listen to my voice, and there will be only one flock and one shepherd. The Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from me; I lay it down of my own free will, and as it is in my power to lay it down, so it is in my power to take it up again; and this is the command I have been given by my Father.' The Gospel of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

joined by an inseparable bond to the saving work of her Son. In

her the Church holds up and admires the most excellent effect of

the redemption and joyfully contemplates, as in a flawless

image, that which the Church itself desires and hopes wholly to

be. Ordo 2021 SC 102,103

ANZAC Prayer God of love and liberty, we bring our thanks this day

for the peace and security we enjoy, which was won for us through the courage and devotion

of those who gave their lives in time of war. We pray that their labour and sacrifice may not be in vain,

but that their spirit may live on in us and in generations to come. That the liberty, truth and justice which they sought to preserve

may be seen and known in all the nations upon earth. This we pray in the name of the one who gave his life for the sake of the

world, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

prayerful wishes to Fr Albin

on his special day.

Preparing to hear God’s word. Shepherds looks after their sheep and keep them safe from danger. Who protects you and makes you feel safe?

the Gospel story In today’s gospel, Jesus tells the disciples that he is like a good shepherd who cares for his sheep. The good shepherd does not run away when trouble comes, but protects the sheep, even giving his life for them. The sheep know the good shepherd and they follow his voice. In the story, we are the sheep and Jesus is the good shepherd.

Commentaries The fourth Sunday of Easter is known as Good Shepherd Sunday. Every year the gospel reading is taken from one part or another of Jesus’ discourse on this theme in the tenth chapter of John. Lest we rob the image of its power by contenting ourselves with sentimental representations, the opening prayer of the Mass reminds us of what is at stake. It speaks of the “brave Shepherd (who) has gone before”. For all of its romantic appeal, naming Jesus as our good shepherd implicates us in his unconditional self -sacrifice. It was the courage with which he entered the dark mystery of death that enabled him to break through to the realm of life for us. At the very heart of the Easter season we retrace the path of love that led Jesus to the cross and beyond. This is the path we are challenged to take, fired with the Spirit to live the paschal mystery in the freedom that is ours as the children of God.

Prayers of the people: Ultimate power of love

The coincidence of Anzac Day and Good Shepherd Sunday brings Psalm 23 to mind, though it’s not the psalm for Mass today.

Who knows what strength this ancient prayer gave to those subjected to the horror of the Great War? They walked “in the valley of the shadow of death” and too many more have done so since. In defiance of war’s brutal inhumanity, the psalm affirms God’s shepherding presence in our lives and promises us God’s eternal hospitality.

For Christian believers it gathers force from Jesus’ willingness to absorb the violence of his executioners without retaliation. Refusing to betray his faith in the ultimate power of love, he has disarmed the forces of fear and hate. Dare we believe it?

THE WEEK’S PRAYER FOCUS

For all envoys of peace and agents of reconciliation, that they will defuse conflict and make the world safe for the whole of humanity.

Dear friends, on this Anzac Day and Good Shepherd Sunday, we look to Jesus, our leader in faith. Let us pray in his name for the needs of our wounded world.

Jokes of the Week Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, 'My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50.' The second boy says, 'That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100.' The third boy says, 'Well – better that that!. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon and it takes eight people to collect all the money!'

~~~~~~~~~~~~ An elderly woman died last month. Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial service, she wrote, 'They wouldn't take me out while I was alive, I don't want them to take me out when I'm dead.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~ At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs. Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and she said, 'Johnny, what is the matter?' Little Johnny responded, 'I have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife.'

St. Mark- April 25 Much of what we know about St. Mark, the author of the Second Gospel, comes largely from the New Testament and early Christian traditions. Mark the Evangelist is believed to be the 'John Mark' referred to in the Acts of the Apostles, the history of the early Church found in the Canon of the New Testament. He was the son of Mary of Jerusalem (Acts 12:12) whose home became a meeting place for the apostles. He is also the cousin of St. Barnabas (Colossians 4:10), a Levite and a Cypriot. Mark joined St. Paul and

St. Barnabas on their first missionary journey to Antioch in 44 A.D. When the group reached Cyprus, Christian tradition holds that Mark left them and returned to Jerusalem, possibly because he was missing his home (Acts 13:13). This incident may have caused Paul to question whether Mark could be a reliable missionary. This created a disagreement between Paul and Barnabas and led Paul to refuse Mark's accompaniment on their second journey to the churches of Cilicia and the rest of Asia Minor. However, it can be assumed the troubles between Paul and Mark did not last long, because when Paul was first imprisoned, Mark, who was at the time in Rome with plans of visiting Asia Minor, visited him as one of his trusted companions (Col 4:10). According to Christian tradition, Mark also held a close relationship with St. Peter, who referred to Mark has 'his son' in his letter addressed to a number of churches in Asia Minor (1 Peter 5:13). Like another Gospel writer Luke, Mark was not one of the 12 apostles. We cannot be certain whether he knew Jesus personally. Some scholars feel that the evangelist is speaking of himself when describing the arrest of Jesus in Gethsemane: “Now a young man followed him wearing nothing but a linen cloth about his body. They seized him, but he left the cloth behind and ran off naked” (Mark 14:51-52).St. Mark lived for years in Alexandria, where he died as a martyr while being dragged through the streets St. Peter Chanel – April 28 St. Peter Chanel was born on July 12, 1803 in Cuet, France. As a boy his piety and intelligence attracted the attention of the local priest in Cuet, and he was put into a Church-sponsored education program after which he began training in the seminary and was ordained in 1827. In 1831 Peter joined the Marists, who were entrusted with the evangelization of Oceania. Peter served as a professor at the Seminary of Belley for five years and in 1836 was made the superior of a band of Marist missionaries headed for the South West Pacific. They set out on December 24, 1836, accompanied by Bishop Jean Baptiste Pompallier who was to become the first bishop of New Zealand. The bishop accompanying the missionaries left Peter and a brother on Futuna Island northeast of Fiji, promising to return in six months. He was gone five years. Meanwhile, Peter struggled with this new language and mastered it, making the difficult adjustment to life with whalers, traders, and warring natives. Despite little apparent success and severe want, he maintained a serene and gentle spirit, plus endless patience and courage. A few natives had been baptized, a few more were being instructed. When the chieftain’s son asked to be baptized, persecution by the chieftain reached a climax. Father Chanel was clubbed to death. Within two years after his death, the whole island became Catholic and has remained so. He was canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1954. Peter Chanel is the first martyr of Oceania and its patron.

Expressions of interest are invited from Parishioners who are set up for caravan touring, to participate in an Escorted Monsignor John Hawes Trail exploration. This trip will visit most of the magnificent Architect/Priest’s churches within the mid-west of WA, including the Geraldton Cathedral and tiny outposts like Yalgoo, to see the legacy that this man left to the history of WA and to the tradition of Catholicism in our state in the period between the two world wars. The Escorted Tour is a fund-raising activity for Caritas Australia, emanating from the Diocesan Office in Bunbury. As such, a participation fee in the form of a donation to Caritas, of $500.00 per vehicle will apply. In addition, participants will be responsible for their fuel and accommodation costs at Caravan Parks which are pre-booked by the organizers of the trip. There will also be a farewell dinner at the end of the trip, at a grand old country pub, which will be payable by each participant. An interesting, good-fun journey, in good company, and led by a knowledgeable trip guide, its

planned to commence on Sunday August 22nd, and have a duration of 12 to 14 days. Interested

people can respond by email to caritas@bunburycatholic.org.au or by phoning 0428 954 224.

St. Catherine of Siena- April 29 St. Catherine of Siena was born during the outbreak of the plague in Siena, Italy on March 25, 1347. She was the 25th child born to her mother, although half of her brothers and sisters did not survive childhood. Catherine herself was a twin, but her sister did not survive infancy. Her mother was 40 when she was born. Her father was a cloth

dyer. At the age of 16, Catherine's sister, Bonaventura, died, leaving her husband as a widower. Catherine's parents proposed that he marry Catherine as a replacement, but Catherine opposed this. She began fasting and cut her hair short to mar her appearance. Her parents attempted to resist this move, to avoid marriage, but they were unsuccessful. Her fasting and her devotion to her family convinced them to relent and allow her to live as she pleased. She entered the Dominican Third Order at 18 and spent the next three years in seclusion, prayer, and austerity. Gradually, a group of followers gathered around her—men and women, priests and religious. An active public apostolate grew out of her contemplative life. Her letters, mostly for spiritual instruction and encouragement of her followers, began to take more and more note of public affairs. Opposition and slander resulted from her mixing fearlessly with the world and speaking with the candor and authority of one completely committed to Christ. She was cleared of all charges at the Dominican General Chapter of 1374. Her public influence reached great heights because of her evident holiness, her membership in the Dominican Third Order, and the deep impression she made on the pope. She worked tirelessly for the crusade against the Turks and for peace between Florence and the pope. In 1378, the Great Schism began, splitting the allegiance of Christendom between two, then three, popes and putting even saints on opposing sides. Catherine spent the last two years of her life in Rome, in prayer and pleading on behalf of the cause of Pope Urban VI and the unity of the Church. She offered herself as a victim for the Church in its agony. She died surrounded by her “children” and was canonized in 1461. https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-of-the-day/saint-peter-chanel https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-catherine-of-siena-451 https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=305
