The Most Holy Trinity

THE NEW APOSTLES By: Fr. Marce Singson

Our Gospel reading this weekend comes the last chapter of St. Matthew

where Jesus brought his eleven apostles to a mountain in Galilee prior to

his ascension into heaven. The text says: “All authority in heaven and on

earth has been given to me. Go, therefore and make disciple to all nations;

baptise them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy

Spirit…..”

This passage is called the Great Commission. It is the final instructive

word from Jesus to His church. Jesus had just risen. The Jews had killed

Him and were equally ready to do away with His disciples. The Roman

empire was a strict ruler that didn't like people causing any problems. The

ruler of the land was Herod. There was a great tension between the Jewish

community and the Roman power system. The Jews wanted to be free

from Roman rule. The Romans wanted this small strange country called

Israel to be peaceful.

The dominant religion in the Roman Empire was emperor worship.

Tiberius Caesar was the ruler from A.D. 14-37. Next was Caligula (37-41),

Claudius (41-54), Nero who persecuted the Christians (54-68). In 70 A.D.,

Jerusalem was besieged by the Romans and the Temple was destroyed. It is

not Christian nation, but only have Christians in them. Its officials were

antagonistic to Christianity. And... it was into this world, that Jesus com-

missioned the disciples. Their commission was difficult....but the eleven

apostles must face it even to death.

The apostles had done their part. We are the new apostles of Jesus and he

wants us to finish what He began. He came to the disciples, taught them,

and worked with them. He then died on the cross and rose from the

dead. But, before He ascended into heaven, He gave them, and us, the

commission to convert the world. He will not ask us to do the impossible.

We need to know that our efforts to honor Christ by obeying His call to

make disciples of all nations is something that you can do. Do it where you

are, with those whom we meet, with those we work with, with those you go

to school with, etc., through our friendliness, kindness, humility, politeness,

patience and our being helpful to them. Let us be witnesses for Jesus in our

lives and when necessary, talk about Him, too.

St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal

Every year the SVDP Society organises a

Winter Appeal in every parish throughout

Australia to raise funds to provide the needs of the

poor and marginalised. It is hard to believe that in a

first world country, like Australia, there are over two

million people living below the poverty line, half a

million of whom are children. Sad to say this number

is increasing. Many people are losing their jobs due to

the increased use of technology. The greatest in the

Daisy Hill Community is for food, clothing and furni-

ture. Our conference provides food hampers; client

are given gift cards to purchase clothing at the Vin-

nies Shops and furniture is ordered for them at the

Meadowbrook Depot.

St Edward’s school is having the appeal for our con-

ference on the last three weeks of the school term

(11th June to 29th June). The parish appeal is being

held on the following two weekends: 16/17th June

and 23/24th June. At each of the Masses on these days

envelopes will be placed on the seats and we ask you

to put your donation in the

envelope and seal it. Dona-

tion over $2.00 is tax de-

ductable. We ask you to

give generously and come

prepared knowing that you

are living the Corporal

Works of Mercy; Feed the

hungry, Clothe the naked,

Harbour the homeless.
