6th Sunday of Easter

Served by the Discalced Carmelite Friars

6th Sunday of Easter

Friends of Jesus In John’s Gospel we read, “I no longer call you servants, instead I call you friends” ( Jn 15:15). When the disciples brought the news of Lazarus' death, Jesus says to his disciples: "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep but I am going to wake him up" (John 11:11). Faced with the sorrow of the two sisters he also breaks down and weeps, so much so that those who are present exclaim: "See how much he loved him!" (John 11:13).

Losing someone is never easy, but for many families and older people the pandemic has made things much more difficult. Jesus also weeps for the people who are losing their life in this pandemic time. They are also Jesus’ friends. Thousands are dying every day and ten thousands are falling into the sick bay! So it's normal, it's cross-cultural, it's universal and it's timeless. It is heart breaking to know that some countries like India are suffering at the moment heavily and let Jesus our friend comfort them, heal and raise them up from this critical time.

Mother’s Day This week end we take an opportunity to celebrate our Mother’s Day. Down through the ages of humanity, in the midst of famines and in the face of our changing institutions, the figure of a mother holding and protecting her child remains an arresting picture that always causes us to stop and reflect.

Our mothers, out of love for us, wanted to give us not only natural life but they wanted to share with us eternal life. They have taught us to love so that we would be saints. They have brought us to the baptismal font so that we can get to Heaven. They teach us by word and by example what it means to follow the commandment of love. They are the ones who teach us the love of God and love of neighbour in human form.

Mother’s Day has a deep spiritual dimension. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the greatest of all mothers. Motherhood has always been a sacred and noble vocation, but Mary raised it to even greater stature when she became the Mother of God. As the mother who is “blessed among women” (Lk 1:42), Mary gives us the clearest and most inspiring picture of what the ideal mother should look like, and every Christian mother would be wise to take her cues from the one who excelled at motherhood like none other. Happy Mother’s day!

St. Joseph’s video and Novena prayer We will be showing a video on St. Joseph in all the masses for the coming week end. We are also starting a ‘Prayer to St. Joseph” in our daily masses from next week onwards. You are probably aware that Pope Francis has a special devotion to St Joseph. “I have great love for Saint Joseph, because he is a man of silence and strength. On my table I have a statue of Saint Joseph sleeping. Even when he is asleep, he is taking care of the Church! So when I have a problem, a difficulty, I write a little note and I put it underneath Saint Joseph, so that he can dream about it! In other words I tell him: pray for this problem!” Being the year of St. Joseph, let us cultivate a filial devotion to him and place him as the head and model of our family life. Have a beautiful week end.

Fr. Johny Arattukulam, O.C.D.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Ps 97:1–4 R. The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power. or R. Alleluia. Sing a new song to the Lord for he has worked wonders. His right hand and his holy arm have brought salvation. R. The Lord has made known his salvation; has shown his justice to the nations. He has remembered his truth and love for the house of Israel. R. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Shout to the Lord all the earth, ring out your joy. R.

First Reading

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 10:25–26, 34–35, 44–48

As Peter reached the house Cornelius went out to meet him, knelt at his feet and prostrated himself. But Peter helped him up. 'Stand up', he said 'I am only a man after all!' Then Peter addressed them: 'The truth I have now come to realise' he said 'is that God does not have favourites, but that anybody of any nationality who fears God and does what is right is acceptable to him.' While Peter was still speaking the Holy Spirit came down on all the listeners. Jewish believers who had accompanied Peter were all astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit should be poured out on the pagans too, since they could hear them speaking strange languages and proclaiming the greatness of God. Peter himself then said, 'Could anyone refuse the water of baptism to these people, now they have received the Holy Spirit just as much as we have?' He then gave orders for them to be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ. Afterwards they begged him to stay on for some days.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

SECOND READING

A reading from the first letter of St John 4:7–10 My dear people, let us love one another since love comes from God and everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. Anyone who fails to love can never have known God, because God is love. God's love for us was revealed when God sent into the world his only Son so that we could have life through him; this is the love I mean: not our love for God, but God's love for us when he sent his Son to be the sacrifice that takes our sins away. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Gospel acclamation

Alleluia, alleluia! All who love me will keep my words, and my Father will love them and we will come to them, Alleluia!

GOSPEL

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John 15:9–17 Jesus said to his disciples: 'As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my own joy may be in you and your joy be complete. This is my commandment: love one another, as I have loved you. A man can have no greater love than to lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do what I command you. I shall not call you servants any more, because a servant does not know his master's business; I call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have learnt from my Father. You did not choose me, no, I chose you; and I commissioned you to go out and to bear fruit, fruit that will last; and then the Father will give you anything you ask in my name. What I command you is to love one another.' The Gospel of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

MESSAGE FROM THE BISHOP

Dear Brothers and Sisters

We are all too aware of the great suffering of people in other countries under the scourge

of Covid-19. Our hearts go out to all victims.

However, we need to remember too the suffering of the sons, daughters, brothers and

sisters, family members and friends of victims who are caught in Australia, particularly

those in our Diocese. Unable to leave our shores, many are grieving the deaths of parents

to whom they could neither say goodbye nor get some sort of closure by attending their

funerals.

Many are experiencing great anxiety too for family members who have contracted Covid,

counting the days when the isolation period will be over.

Others wake up in the morning, wondering if they will get bad news over the coming day.

Then, for some, there is a sense of guilt that they are relatively safe in this country while

loved ones are at great risk overseas.

There is the worry too about the loneliness and mental health of loved ones who are

experiencing prolonged lockdowns.

I have met some too who have been separated from their spouses and children, having

come to Australia to work but then not being able to return home since March last year.

Many in our Diocese are providing the only financial support their families currently

have for food in their home countries where all income has been lost due to the collapse

of their places of employment or their own sources of income and there is no government

assistance.

Many too are feeling frustrated and hopeless as the virus surges in their home countries

and nothing can be done but wait to see if loved ones are going to be touched.

These are our brothers and sisters. They are in our parishes, schools and local

communities.

We think at present of those in our Diocese from India and the Philippines, where there

are terrible surges. But there are others also suffering in our Diocese from African,

Northern and Southern American, Slavic, European and other countries, worrying about

loved ones overseas.

At this time, we need to pray in solidarity with all who are suffering directly or indirectly

from Covid.

Prayer COVID-19 Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of good health and peace that we have enjoyed for so many years. As we find ourselves in this time of crisis today, we ask for your divine intervention and mercy to be upon each of us.

We pray for the healthcare workers that are standing in the front line of this battle. Father, we thank you for their hearts of service, putting the needs of society before their own, generously responding to the cry of Your people. We ask that You will grant them strength and protection. As they give of themselves in selfless service, may You fill them with your Holy Spirit as they work to be Your healing hands and feet!

Father, we also surrender to You all those who have been afflicted with the virus. Grant them Your healing grace, merciful Father, so that they may recover swiftly and continue to be witnesses of Your love in their lives.

Mother Mary, we ask for your intercession in this great time of need. Cover each of us with your blue mantle of protection, so that we may be preserved in good health to continue to glorify your son, Jesus Christ. We make this prayer through Christ, our Saviour and Redeemer. Amen. (source: https://popefrancisdaily.com)

I appeal, therefore, to each one of you to join me in saying a daily Rosary during the whole

month of May, praying for four intentions.

• The first is for the eradication of Covid itself and the discovery of secure medications to

treat it.

• Second, let us pray for those who have died of Covid.

• Third, let us pray for those suffering from Covid currently and the safety of doctors,

nurses and other medical staff caring for them. We think too of contact tracers, police,

military, border and other personnel who are working for the safety of the community.

• Fourth, let us pray for the support and consolation of family members in our Diocese

who are going through a terrible time grieving for loved ones who have died; suffering

anxiety for loved ones who are Covid victims currently; worrying for the safety of loved

ones who have not as yet caught the coronavirus; and struggling to provide income for

parents and family members to eat and have basic necessities.

I realise that there will be those unaccustomed to praying the Rosary and who may prefer

to dedicate a similar time period to pray in other ways.

However, I am suggesting that all consider at least praying the Rosary in this Month of

Mary because, at least in my experience, it is a prayer which brings extraordinary

blessings. The power of this prayer has been demonstrated on many occasions in history.

God bless each of you

Bishop Gerard

The Importance of Mothers Day It is easy to be cynical about Mothers Day. Many older people grew up seeing it as a foreign import, introduced by big businesses in the United States to fill their own pockets. That view might gain support from the way in which Mothers Day is marketed. But it is an important day because it offers an opportunity to reflect on and celebrate the lives of people who are often forgotten.

Underlying this neglect is the human reality of self-centredness. We all stand at the centre of our relationships to people and our world. It takes effort and training to see other people as their own centres rather than by reference to ourselves. We see waiters and doctors as just waiters and doctors, not as persons with their own wives or husbands, their own children, their own enthusiasms. In the same way it is also easy to see our mothers only as mothers and not as persons with their personal lives and other connections. Mothers Day reminds us of the many and varied shapes of relationships that make up women’s lives. It honours their work in business, in music and other creative fields, their contribution to public life through committees and political allegiances, their sporting interests and all the trying, achieving, relaxing, enjoying and grieving that make each person’s life distinctive.

By definition, of course, the Day focuses on women as persons who are mothers. In doing so it also honours all the relationships which through their motherhood shape their lives. These include the relationships to their children as babies, children, adolescents as adults, moving from relationships of dependence to mentoring and to equal friendship, and perhaps towards the end of their lives to accepting care and mentoring from their children. Associated with these relationships, too, are those made through their children with other mothers in kindergartens and schools and so with their families, and the relationships they

form through their workplaces and care of the household budget, and in the local campaigns to demand a more just society. Mothers Day celebrates the ways in which women grow as persons through their relationships as mothers.

As with all relationships those of motherhood make their own demands and these demands are primarily of love, moving from the protective and all-embracing love of very young children, to the mentoring love of older children and the freeing love of adolescents. Each stage of love involves sacrifice. The personal sacrifice of the gradual separation of the child into an independent adult, and the sacrifice of other possibilities that they might relinquish when taking on commitments in the home. The maternal love celebrated on Mothers Day is not automatic or cost-free.

Ultimately, however, the significance of Mothers Day is not confined to women’s lives as mothers but extends to the persons who are mothers and to the gift they are in themselves and with all their other gifts. It reminds us and pays tribute to the commitments that women make in their professional life, their interests and in their commitments to public life. It invites us to see our mothers’ lives not just in their relationship to ourselves as their children, but in all the wider relationships in which they are the centre.

Mothers Day is worth celebrating. It may be best celebrated by spending time in exploring the larger world of our mothers from their own perspective.

Mother’s Day Jokes (compiled by Fr Johny) “Mom, are bugs good to eat?” asked the boy. “Let’s not talk about such things at the

dinner table, son,” his mother replied. After dinner the mother inquired, “Now, baby, what did you want to ask me?” “Oh, nothing,” the boy said. “There was a bug in your soup, but now it’s gone.”

An 80 year-old woman was recently married to her 4th husband. A reporter questioned the occupation of her newly acquired husband. She replied that he owned a funeral home. Curious about the other husbands, the reporter also asked about their occupations. The woman paused for a while and stated that her first husband was a banker. The second one she was madly in love with and he was a circus master. The third one was a Pastor. Puzzled by her answers, he replied, “None of these people have anything in common! Why did you marry these?” She stated that she married number one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go.

Son: When is Mother’s Day Dad? Dad wearily unplugging the vacuum, “Every day son, every day.”

Chris: Why is a computer so smart? Mom: It listens to its motherboard. Why don’t they have Mother’s Day sales? Because Mothers are priceless. What’s the difference between Superman and Mothers?

Superman’s just a superhero now and then. Mums are superheroes all the time.

Our Lady of Fatima- May 13 Between May 13 and October 13, 1917, three Portuguese children–Francisco and Jacinta Marto and their cousin Lucia dos Santos–received apparitions of Our Lady at Cova da Iria near Fatima, a city 110 miles north of Lisbon. Mary asked the children to pray the rosary for world peace, for the end of World War I, for sinners, and for the conversion of Russia. Mary gave the children three secrets. Following the deaths of Francisco and Jacinta in 1919 and 1920 respectively, Lucia revealed the first secret in 1927. It concerned devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The second secret was a vision of hell. When Lucia grew up she

became a Carmelite nun and died in 2005 at the age of 97. Pope John Paul II directed the Holy See’s Secretary of State to reveal the third secret in 2000; it spoke of a “bishop in white” who was shot by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows into him. Many people linked this vision to the assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II in St. Peter’s Square on May 13, 1981.The feast of Our Lady of Fatima was approved by the local bishop in 1930; it was added to the Church’s worldwide calendar in 2002. St. Matthias- May 14 Matthias, whose name means “gift of God”, was the disciple chosen to replace Judas as one of the twelve Apostles. The Acts of the Apostles state that he was also one of the 72 disciples that the Lord Jesus sent out to preach the good news. Matthias was with the Lord since His Baptism, and was “a witness to Christ’s Resurrection,” according to St. Peter in Acts. He remained with Jesus until His Ascension. According to various traditions, Matthias preached in Cappadocia, Jerusalem, the shores of the Caspian Sea (in modern day Turkey) and Ethiopia. He is said to have met his death by crucifixion in Colchis or by stoning in Jerusalem. There is evidence cited in some of the early Church fathers that there was a Gospel according to Matthias in circulation, but it has since been lost, and was declared apocryphal by Pope Gelasius. https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-of-the-day/our-lady-of-fatima

“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,

as God in Christ forgave you.” -Ephesians 4:32

I wish to thank the Parish for their prayers and best wishes during my recent hospitalization. It was very much appreciated and reassuring to Judy and me. I am pleased to say that I have fully recovered. - Colin Purcell

Preparing to hear God’s word. How do you show someone that you love them? Sometimes it isn’t easy! Your parents show you they love you by taking care of you even when they are tired.

the Gospel story There is a clear message in today’s gospel story – Jesus asks us to love one another just as God loves us! Jesus loved us so much that he died on the cross for us. Jesus tells us that when we love others, we will be completely happy.

Reflecting on the Gospel John's gospel says 'The greatest way to show love for friends is to die for them'. Realistically, few of us will ever be asked to literally die for another. But love and friendship are sometimes demanding and not always easy. At times we need to put others first and put ourselves second. Can you think of an example in your own life?
