Bapꢀsms 2nd Sunday of the month at 12.15pm. Bookings required. We began with a retreat in a religious house outside Rome, an important time of reflection upon our own ministry as Bishops, of prayer for the Church in Australia in these challenging times, and of renewal of our faith and hope in Christ Jesus. St Bede’s Church Our Ad Limina visit was framed by the Feast of Corpus Christi – where we reflected upon the hunger for the Eucharist in Australia, going back to colonial times – and the Feast of Sts Peter and Paul – when (today) we joined Sydney’s former auxiliary bishop, Peter Comensoli, as he received the pallium from Pope Francis as Metropolitan Archbishop of Melbourne. 43 Pyrmont Street, Pyrmont Sunday Mass Times 8am and 11am Bapꢀsms On Monday I prayed for you all at the tomb of St Peter. After celebrating Mass together there, we went to meet Peter’ successor, Pope Francis, at the apostolic palace. It was a deeply moving and very encouraging meeting and underlined for me the importance of the Petrine ministry. The Holy Father clearly understood our situation in Australia, taught, advised, challenged and encouraged us. This encounter was a real moment of grace. 3rd Sunday of the month at 12.00 noon. Bookings required. Compulsory Bapꢀsm Classes for all parishes held on the 1st Sunday of the Month at St James Hall from 3.30—4.30pm Each day the Bishops followed the same pattern of celebrating Mass together at one of the papal basilicas before or after our day of meetings. I had the privilege of leading our Mass at the Basilica of St Mary Major. At St Peter’s, St Paul’s, St Mary’s and yesterday at St John’s we prayed for the Church of Australia, for wisdom and courage for its leaders, and for fidelity and the joy of Christian life for its people.

St Benedicts: 104 Broadway, Chippendale St James Forest Lodge & St Bede’s Pyrmont Emails: [email protected] bapꢀ[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] The Congregation for Saints was very encouraging regarding the cause of Eileen O’Connor. The Diocesan phase is currently in process and the official opening of the Cause in Sydney will be scheduled for later this year. At several Congregations we received encouragement and helpful advice regarding the Plenary Council for Australia. I led the bishops’ delegations to the Congregation for Catholic Education and the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith. At our meeting with Catholic Education I updated the officials about the unique Catholic education system we have in Australia, its achievements in early childhood, primary, secondary and tertiary education, as well as the present challenges. There was good discussion on a number of these issues, including various threats to the freedom of our schools to continue to enrol, employ and teach according to our Catholic approach.

Parish Secretary: Ms Brooke Foye Email: [email protected] Sacramental &Safeguarding Co-Ordinator: Mrs Amanda Gardiner Email: [email protected] Overall, the Bishops of Australia had a very good experience of this ‘audit’ of Church life in our country, of the pilgrimage to the holy places, and of communion with the Pope and his collaborators. For all the negativity around the Church at present it gave us real cause for hope. We are grateful for your prayers for us and we have had you all in our thoughts and prayers throughout. St James School Principal: Mrs Enrica Bova Meanwhile I’ve been following from afar the Israel Folau matter – which illustrates some of the concerns we discussed with the Pope and Vatican departments. PTO…. Email: [email protected] Phone: 02 9692 0870 NOTICES, NOTICES, NOTICES, NOTICES, NOTICES, NOTICES, NOTIC- Letter from Archbishop Anthony Fisher cont… Much has been said and written about the Folau saga and no doubt there will be more to come. But it does seem to me that there has been a very heavy-handed targeting of Israel and Maria Folau for daring to express unfashionable religious views. In the background is a relentless campaign from some quarters to push religious beliefs and believers to the margins of society, and to confine faith to an ever-narrowing field of private life. You don’t have to agree with all Mr Folau says or the way he says it to be troubled by the determination of some to destroy him and his family, and also to be concerned about what this means for freedom of speech and belief for ordinary Australians. The Australia we all know and love has, for the most part, been good at giving people the space to believe different things, to express them in free speech, to try to persuade others of their beliefs, and to practice what they preach. But now we are seeing sporting organisations, airlines, websites, financial institutions and health insurers using their corporate power to narrow that space and punish those whose views they disapprove. No one should have to raise millions to vindicate their rights against such corporate power. Matters pertaining to the freedom of religion will no doubt be on the agenda of state and federal parliaments in the coming months. They shouldn’t be reduced to the Folau saga. But it’s important we all keep informing ourselves about, praying and advocating for respect for religious freedom in Australia. With my prayers and blessings from the Eternal city, The Holy Fathers Appeal is this weekend. The Holy Father’s Appeal supports Pope Francis’ charitable works around the world. Most Rev.

Your praise, O God, like your name, reaches the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with saving justice. the Father almighty, maker of heaven & earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, SECOND READING Galations 6:14-18 The only thing I can boast about is the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. It does not matter if a person is circumcised or not; what matters is for him to become an altogether new creature. Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, who form the Israel of God. GLORIA Light from Light, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, I want no more trouble from anybody after this; the marks on my body are those of Jesus.

For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Alleluia, alleluia! May the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, in the glory of God the Father.

GOSPEL Luke 10:1-12. 17-20 The Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them out ahead of him, in pairs, to all the towns and places he himself was to visit. He said to them, ‘The one God, for ever and ever. harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to his harvest. Start off now, but remember, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Carry no purse, no haversack, no sandals. Salute no one on the road. Whatever house you go into, let your first words be, “Peace to this house!” And if a man of peace lives there, your peace will go and rest on him; if not, it will come back to you. Stay in the same house, taking what food and drink they have to offer, for the labourer deserves his wages; do not move from house to house. Whenever you go into a town where they make you welcome, eat what is set before you. Cure those in it who are sick, and say, “The kingdom of God is very near to you.” But whenever you enter a town and they do not make you welcome, go out into its streets and say, “We wipe off the very dust of your town that clings to our feet, and leave it with you. Yet be sure of this: the I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Rejoice, rejoice for her, PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS May this oblation dedicated to your name purify us, O Lord, and day by day bring our conduct closer to the life of heaven. Through Christ our Lord. all you who mourned her! That you may be suckled, filled, from her consoling breast, that you may savour with delight her glorious breasts. For thus says the Lord: Now towards her I send flowing peace, like a river, and like a stream in spate the glory of the nations. MEMORIAL ACCLAMATION: We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again. At her breast will her nurslings be carried and fondled in her lap. COMMUNION ANTIPHON Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed the man who seeks refuge in him. Like a son comforted by his mother will I comfort you. And by Jerusalem you will be comforted.
