TRANSCRIPT
Last Saturday I was invited to join the Filipino community for lunch and a little farewell. Thank you
Rose and Claire and all those who helped organise the event. They sang a lovely farewell song, called,
“May the Good Lord, Bless and Keep You”, and presented me with two new Albs. Thank you for your
kindness and thoughtfulness. We are blessed with lovely people in our community. Thank you all for
your parish and community involvement over these years, it is much appreciated by many.
Indoor Bowls & Cards is being held at the Parish Centre every second Monday. The next gathering will take place
on Monday, 14th of May, from 9:30-12:00. Come along
and enjoy a morning of fun and fellowship.

Introduction
The more profound things are, the simpler they seem to be. The essence of the Gospel and this season coalesces in
today’s focus on God’s love for us and the commandment to love one another. This may seem far too simple; but the reality is
amazing and a little terrifying. If we are honest, we know both the impact and the cost of this kind of love from our personal
experience.
First Reading Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48
God’s presence is available to all.
Responsorial Psalm The Lord has revealed to the nations his
saving power.
Second Reading 1 John 4:7-10
God is made known to us through love.
ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA! All who love me will keep my words, and
my Father will love them and we will come to them
ALLELUIA!
Gospel John 15:9-17
“This I command you: love one another”
Prayers of the Faithful
For the church: that it may be a visible sign of God’s unending love for the whole human
race … we pray,
For those who are witnesses to love in the most difficult situations and at great personal
risk … we pray,
For Fr. Hermi as he continues his ministry in this place, may it be a time of joy and
fulfillment… we pray,
For Pope Francis — for length of days in service to God’s people as he embraces the
commission to preach the kingdom … we pray,
For hearts and minds open to knowing Christ in this community; and for all among us who
need the healing of this relationship, especially the sick, the dying and all who
suffer ... we pray,
Together we pray….
God of love, you have shown yourself to us through Jesus and in whatever
love we have experienced in our lives. Help us to love others with the same generosity with which you have loved us. We humbly ask this in the name of
your Son, whose love is without bounds. Amen.
