PARISH OF ST MARY OF THE ASSUMPTION
The most holy trinity
ST. PAUL
‘To God through Christ in
the love which is poured
out through the Spirit.’
Entrance Antiphon:
Blessed be God the Father and
his only begotten Son and the
Holy Spirit: for he has shown
that he loves us.
1st Reading:
Proverbs 8:22-31
Psalms 8:4-9
Responsorial Psalm:
O Lord, our God, how
wonderful your name in all the
earth!
2nd Reading:
Romans 5:1-5
Gospel Acclamation:
Alleluia, alleluia!
Glory to the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit: to God who
is, who was, and who is to
come.
Alleluia!
Gospel:
John 16:12-15
Before Communion:
Lord our God, make these gifts
holy, and through them make
us a perfect offering to you.
Communion Antiphon:
You are the sons of God, so
God has given you the Spirit of
his Son to form your hearts
and make you cry out: Abba,
Father.
After Communion:
Lord God, we worship you, a
Trinity of Persons, one eternal
God. May our faith and the
sacrament we receive bring us
health of mind and body.
This Solemnity presents THE TRINITY as a mystery not to be
‘solved’ or ‘explained,’ but as a Trinity of Persons to be
encountered.
The readings today, reveal the high value God places on us human
beings.
Everything God our Father has, belongs also to the Son and
Spirit. All that God has, is given to us through Jesus who sends us
the SPIRIT.
The indwelling of the Spirit assures us of the Triune God’s working
within and through us:
The Father’s LOVE, The Son’s MISSION, The Spirit’s TRUTH.
Jesus’ Mission is a lofty one. Jesus’ Mission is not entirely on our
shoulders. It is GOD’S GRACE which enables us to be DISCIPLES.

We Care – Responding to the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act. From the earliest times, Christ’s followers have set themselves apart by their
care of the vulnerable (Acts 4:34). On 19 June 2019, the Voluntary Assisted
Dying Act (VAD) comes into effect. It legalises euthanasia and assisted suicide.
Despite what the law may say, our Christian tradition affirms that every life,
including those of the sick and suffering, is sacred. Euthanasia and assisted
suicide are never part of end of life care.
Pope Francis has encouraged ordinary Catholics everywhere to resist euthanasia
and to protect the old, the young and the vulnerable from being cast aside in a
“throw-away culture.” We are called to follow Christ by accompanying people with
compassion, sharing hope not fear.
The Bishops of the Catholic dioceses of Melbourne, Ballarat, Sale and
Sandhurst, echoing Pope Francis, have published a pastoral letter including
practical guidance on ways we can be conscientious objectors to euthanasia.
Copies of the letter are available in our parish and online:
www.cam.org.au/euthanasia
Please read and share it.

We are blessed to announce that this year
on Sunday the 23rd of June at the 5:30 p.m. Mass at
St Mary MacKillop Church, we will have four adult
candidates and one child, entering the Catholic Church
through the Sacrament of Baptism! For the four adult
candidates, they will also be receiving their Confirmation
and First Holy Communion. This will be a wonderful
moment in the life of our beautiful Parish.
The four candidates have been diligently preparing
through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).
They commenced this sacred journey on the 11th
of January, the Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes, and will
keep on preparing right up to their Initiation
Mass. Please pray for our RCIA Candidates; Kenan
Setoglu, Nancy Jonah, Julie Gerada and Rebecca
Santalucia who will be received into the Catholic Church,
and also Rebecca's 3 year old son Travis who will be
Baptised with them.
The Parish looks forward to sharing this most joyful
occasion together!

Second Sunday of easter The most holy trinity
Entrance:
Firmly I believe and truly
God is Three, and God is One;
And I next acknowledge duly
Manhood taken by the Son.
And I trust and hope most fully
In that Manhood crucified;
And each thought and deed unruly
Do to death, as He has died.
Simply to His grace and wholly
Light and life and strength belong,
And I love supremely, solely,
Him the holy, Him the strong.
And I hold in veneration,
For the love of Him alone,
Holy Church as His creation,
And her teachings as His own.
Responsorial Psalm:
All the earth proclaim the Lord
Sing your praise to God.
Gospel Acclamation:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
Glory to the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit;
To God who is, who was, and who is to come.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
Glory to the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit;
To God who is, who was, and who is to come.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
Offertory:
Father in my life I see
You are God who walks with me
You hold my life in your hands
Close beside you I will stand
I give all my life to you
Help me Father to be true.
Jesus in my life I see
You are God who walks with me
You hold my life in your hands
Close beside you I will stand
I give all my life to you
Help me Jesus to be true.
Spirit in my life I see
You are God who walks with me
You hold my life in your hands
Close beside you I will stand
I give all my life to you
Help me Spirit to be true.
Communion:
All hail, adored Trinity!
all hail, eternal Unity!
O God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, ever One.
Three Persons praise we evermore,
one only God our hearts adore;
in thy sure mercy ever kind
may we your strong protection find.
O Trinity! O Unity!
Be present as we worship thee;
and with the songs that angels sing
unite the hymns of praise we bring.
Recessional:
Holy God, we praise your name,
Lord of all, we bow before you;
All on earth your pow’r proclaim,
All in heaven above adore you;
Boundless is your vast domain,
Everlasting is your reign.
Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, Three we name you,
While in essence only one,
Undivided God we claim you,
And adoring bend the knee
While we own the mystery
HYMN TO ST ANTHONY OF PADUA
O, Anthony God’s chosen one
With mortal eyes you saw your Lord.
A solemn pledge of glorious life,
A foretaste of your own reward.
Sing joyful praises to the King.
A loyal soldier’s recompense
To Anthony, He grants this grace
His miracles through human word.
From Padua first, to east and west
Arose a hymn of praise and fame;
Through heaven’s grace, we still affirm
Unending honour to your name.
May glory to the father be
And to the Son eternally
The spirit too, in essence one,
In persons three, be honour done.
