Blessing for Pentecost May the enthusiasm of Spirit leap incessantly within you
and help you to live a vibrant life.
May the warmth of Spirit’s fire be extended through your concern and care for all those who need your love.
May the blaze of Spirit’s courage enable you to speak the truth and to stand up for respect, dignity, and justice.
May the undying embers of Spirit’s faithfulness suppor t you when you feel spiritually dry and empty.
May the strength of Spirit’s love sustain your hope as you enter into the pain of our world.
May the clear light of Spirit’s guidance be a source of effective discernment and decision-making for you.
May Spirit’s patient endurance be yours while you wait for what is unknown to be revealed.
May the steady flame of Spirit’s goodness within you convince you every day of the power of your presence with others.
May the joyful fire of Spirit dance within you and set happiness ablaze in your life.
May the spark of your relationship with Spirit catch afire in the hear ts of those with whom you live and work.
May you be mindful of the Eternal Flame within you. May you rely on this Source of Love
to be your constant ally and steady guide. from ‘Out of the Ordinary’ by Joyce Rupp

Chaplaincy Sunday 2016 Chaplaincy Sunday Appeal This Weekend
The Melbourne Catholic Archbishop’s Fund is con-
ducting an Appeal in parishes to support the vital work
of Catholic Chaplains in our community this weekend.
Chaplaincy Sunday, in this Year of Mercy, is an oppor-
tunity for all of us to commit ourselves to the words
of Pope Francis, “it must be a place of mercy where eve-
ryone can feel welcomed, loved, forgiven and encouraged
to live the good life of the Gospel”.
The presence of Catholic Chaplains is a crucial witness
to our faith, a crucial dimension of our service of love,
and a vital testimony to the value of life in all of its
stages.
Donations will go towards supporting Chaplains who
work with:
Patients and their families in public hospitals
People living with HIV/AIDS
Men and women in Prisons
Young people in youth justice facilities
Seafarers
Envelopes are available on the seats, if required. Col-
lection will be taken up as a leaving collection.

More of What’s Happening Here…. Support the Infant Viability Bill -
Action Needed Now On May, 25th the Victorian Legislative Council will
debate the Infant Viability Bill introduced to the par-
liament by Dr Rachael Carling Jenkins in October last
year. This bill is the first formal attempt at pro-life leg-
islation in Victoria in decades, and the first legislative
attempt to remedy, at least in part, the ultra permis-
sive Victorian abortion law reforms of 2008 currently
allowing late term abortion up to 9 months gestation,
and no requirement to offer support or counselling to
pregnant women.
Under this new bill—
Abortions would no longer be allowed from the
24th week of pregnancy.
Infant viability will be promoted and supported
(all infants born alive from the 24th week of
pregnancy onwards, including as the result of a
medical emergency, must be cared for with the
intent to save the infant’s life if at all possible)
Mothers who are at least 24 weeks pregnant,
who present in distress to their doctor must be
offered practical support, for example a referral
to a pregnancy support service offering holistic
care (counselling, social and practical support).
Penalties will be introduced for physicians who
breach the new laws and for medical facilities in
which the laws are breached. Mothers will not
be criminalised or face penalties.
How you can help: The success of the Infant Viability
Bill relies heavily on the support it receives from the
public. Please seriously consider supporting this bill in
both the following ways:
1. Write to your Victorian State members (both
MLC and MLA) in support of the Infant Viability
Bill.
2. Support the Bill with your presence at the Infant
Viability Rally in Saturday, 21st May on the
steps of Parliament House, Spring Street,
beginning at 2pm.
