From the Parish Priest Dear Parishioners,

There are a number of special events taking place in the Parish in August and I would like to take this opportunity to highlight them for you now.

On Sunday 7th Aug we have our “Thank you evening” for all the many and generous supporters and benefactors of the Brisbane Oratory in Formation (see page 2 for details). On Monday 8th Aug we celebrate the solemn feast day of “Australia’s Saint” - St Mary of the Cross MacKillop. Mass will be at 6am at St Elizabeth’s Chapel and there will be a Missa Cantata (sung Mass) in the extraordinary form at 7pm that evening. On Tues 9th Aug at 10am we have an Anointing Mass for our sick and infirm parishioners. Morning Tea will follow Mass—please phone the parish office for further details. Monday 15th Aug is the Solemnity of Our Lady’s Assumption of body and soul into heaven. Masses that day will be at 7am (SJF) and 9am (MI). There will also be a special highlight of a Solemn High Mass in

the Extraordinary Form at 7pm that evening.

Please note that the Assumption is a Holy Day of Obligation

We will now continue with another reflection from Archbishop Fulton Sheen. I know that these reflections from the saintly late, great Archbishop are proving popular with many.

Fr Andrew Wise

Our Reflection from Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen continues:

THE SACRAMENTS: A Divine Sense of Humour

Baptism and the Life of Christ

Under the Old Law people believed in, or yearned for, a Messias who was to come. Abraham believed and his faith was accounted to him as justice, and he received circumcision as a sign of faith. What was the faith, therefore, that justified Abraham, who was the father of the Jews? It was the faith in the Messias, or the Christ Who was to come. There is no salutary faith except in Christ. The Jews believed in the Christ Who was to come; we believe in Christ Who has come. The times have changed, but the reality of faith has not changed. There is only one faith. The faith that saves all men, making them pass from carnal generation to spiritual birth. The reason Our Lord was baptized was because it was part of the whole process of emptying, of humiliation, of the Incarnation. How could He be poor with us, if He did not in some way conform to our poverty? How could He come among sinful men to redeem them, if He did not also reveal the necessity of being purged from sin? There was no need of Our Blessed Mother to submit to the rite of purification, as there was no need of Our Lord to submit to the rite of Baptism by John. He had no need personally of having sins remitted, but He assumed a nature which was related to sinful humanity. Though He was without sin, He appeared to all men as a sinner, as He did on the cross. That was why He walked into the Jordan with all the rest of the sinners to demand the baptism of penance "in remission of sins."

In a very special way, Baptism is related to the death and Resurrection of Christ. In order to be saved, we have to recapitulate in our own lives the Death and the Resurrection of Christ. What He went through, we have to go through. He is the pattern, and we have to be modelled after Him. He is the die, we are the coins that have to be stamped with His image. In all of the sacraments, the virtue of the Passion and Resurrection of Christ is in some way applied to us. In Baptism, there is a very close relationship between the burial and the resurrection. The catechumen is plunged into the water as Christ was plunged into death. We say plunged into death because of the words of Our Lord: "There is a baptism I must be baptized with, and how impatient am I for its accomplishment" (Luke 12:50). Baptism not only incorporates us to the death of that which is evil in us, but also to the Resurrection of Christ, and therefore, to a new life. …. Cont pg 2

Thank you from a grateful Parish

From pg 1 ……

There was recently found an inscription on a baptistry erected in the time of Constantine in the beginning of the fourth century, and it reads: "The waters received an old man, but brought forth a new man." St. Paul speaks of this: "It follows, in fact, that when a man becomes a new creature in Christ, his old life has disappeared, everything has become new about him (II Corinth. 5:17).

Thank you for your generous support of the Catholic Mission Church Appeal

women, educate seminarians…the list goes on. However you donated during the appeal last weekend, please know that you have made an

immediate difference. Your generosity reflects the sentiment in the second reading, where you showed a willingness to “look for the things

that are above”. This is where the true richness in life lies.

SUNDAY MASS READINGS

First Reading: Ecclesiastes 1:2, 2:21-23

Vanity of vanities, the Preacher says. Vanity of vanities. All is vanity! For so it is that a man who has laboured wisely, skilfully and successfully must leave what is his own to someone who has not toiled for it at all. This, too, is vanity and great injustice; for what does he gain for all the toil and strain that he has undergone under the sun? What of all his laborious days, his cares of office, his restless nights? This, too, is vanity.

The Word of the Lord

Response: Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm 89

(Said by all)

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.

Second Reading: Colossians 3: 1-5, 9-11

Since you have been brought back to true life with Christ, you must look for the things that are in heaven, where Christ is, sitting at God's right hand. Let your thoughts be on heavenly things, not on the things that are on the earth, because you have died, and now the life you have is hidden with Christ in God. But when Christ is revealed – and he is your life – you too will be revealed in all your glory with him. That is why you must kill everything in you that belongs only to earthly life: fornication, impurity, guilty passion, evil desires and especially greed, which is the same thing as worshipping a false god; and never tell each other lies. You have stripped off your old behaviour with your old self, and you have put on a new self which will progress towards true knowledge the more it is renewed in the image of its creator; and in that image there is no room for distinction between Greek and Jew, between the circumcised or the uncircum-cised, or between barbarian and Scythian, slave and free man.

There is only Christ: he is everything and he is in everything.

The Word of the Lord

Response: Thanks be to God

Gospel Acclamation:

Alleluia, alleluia! Happy the poor in spirit; the

kingdom of heaven is theirs! Alleluia!

Gospel: Luke 12: 13-21

A man in the crowd said to Jesus, `Master, tell my brother to give me a share of our inheritance’. `My friend,' he replied `who appointed me your judge, or the arbitrator of your claims?' Then he said to them, `Watch, and be on your guard against avarice of any kind, for a man's life is not made secure by what he owns, even when he has more than he needs'. Then he told them a parable: `There once was a rich man who, having had a good harvest from his land, thought to himself, "What am I to do? I have not enough room to store my crops." Then he said, "This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in them, and I will say to my soul: My soul, you have plenty of good things laid by for many years to come; take things easy, eat, drink, have a good time". But God said to him, "Fool! This very night the demand will be made for your soul; and this hoard of yours, whose will it be then?" So it is when a man stores up treasure for himself in place of making himself rich in the sight of God.'

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
