Dea Dear r Par Parishi ishioner ners, s,

Arrangements are in full swing for the visit of the relics of St Therese, and her canonised parents Louis and Zelie Martin. They will arrive promptly at 10pm on the night of Friday February 7, and be transferred to the Cathedral at 10.30am Saturday February 8. Please see below for an outline of the program for the hours we will have the relics with us. We are still in need of a few more volunteer guardians to fill in some blanks in our guardians' roster. Please consider giving an hour (or possibly longer) to guarding the relics and the people who come to venerate them, and to ensure the security of the church. It would be greatly appreciated. Kindly contact the parish office to add your name to the roster. To co-ordinate the Friday Holy Hour closer to the arrival of the relics, we will begin the Eucharistic exposition at 8.45pm and conclude at 9.45pm. Confessions will be heard during that time . We will have the annual Little Kings Movement appeal this weekend. I encourage you to contribute to the wonderful work this movement undertake. Lastly, could anyone who is yet to get their Christmas offering in, please ensure that they do so as soon as possible. Thank you.

In n Christ, Fr hrist, Fr Sco Scot Antho t Anthony ny Arm Armstr strong ng

Our History

Fr Basil Bergin was instrumental in establishing St John Fisher Church and St Elizabeth’s Church and School. He was Parish Priest at Ekibin from 1951 until his death in October, 1969. He had an impact on many people including a prisoner from Boggo Road Gaol who painted an image of St Elizabeth of Hungary for him, which is now situated in the Chapel. St Elizabeth’s School also honours Fr Bergin with ‘Bergin House’ being named in his honour.

Refection

A most excellent means of learning how to pray, is to acknowledge ourselves unworthy of such a benefit, and to put ourselves entirely into the hands of the Lord. St Philip Neri The main occupation of your soul should be to moderate its movements. It is good to desire your spiritual advancement, but this desire must be calm, humble and submissive to the will of God. Everything that comes from grace is gentle, humble and moderate. Your particular effort should therefore consist in moderating the movements of your soul, keeping it calm, humble before God. Jacques Philippe, Searching For and Maintaining Peace (Sceptre, New York, 2002)

The Presentation of the Lord, 1st/2nd February, 2020

MASS READINGS First Reading: Malachi 3: 1-4 The Lord God says this: Look, I am going to send my messenger to prepare a way before me. And the Lord you are seeking will suddenly enter his Temple; and the angel

• f the covenant whom you are longing for, yes, he is

coming, says the Lord of Hosts. Who will be able to resist the day of his coming? Who will remain standing when he appears? For he is like the refiner’s fire and the fullers’

• alkali. He will take his seat as refiner and purifier; he will

purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and then they will make the offering to the Lord as it should be made. The offering of Judah and Jerusalem will then be welcomed by the Lord as in former days, as in the years of

• ld.

The Word of the Lord Response: Thanks be to God Responsorial Psalm 23 (Said by all) O gates, lift up your heads; Grow higher, ancient doors. Let him enter, the king of glory! Who is the king of glory? The Lord, the mighty, the valiant, The Lord, the valiant in war. O gates, lift high your heads; Grow higher, ancient doors Let him enter, the king of glory! Who is he, the king of glory? He, the Lord of armies, He is the king of glory. Second Reading: Hebrews 2: 14-18 Since all the children share the same blood and flesh, Christ too shared equally in it, so that by his death he could take away all the power of the devil, who had power over death, and set free all those who had been held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death. For it was not the angels that he took to himself; he took to himself descent from

• Abraham. It was essential that he should in this way

become completely like his brothers so that he could be a compassionate and trustworthy high priest of God’s religion, able to atone for human sins. That is, because he has himself been through temptation he is able to help

• thers who are tempted.

The Word of the Lord Response: Thanks be to God Gospel Acclamation: Alleluia alleluia! The light to enlighten the Gentiles and give glory to Israel, your people. Alleluia! Gospel: Luke 2: 22-40 When the day came for them to be purified as laid down by the Law of Moses, the parents of Jesus took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, – observing what stands written in the Law of the Lord: Every first-born male must be consecrated to the Lord – and also to offer in sacrifice, in accordance with what is said in the Law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons. Now in Jerusalem there was a man named Simeon. He was an upright and devout man; he looked forward to Israel’s comforting and the Holy Spirit rested on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death until he had set eyes on the Christ of the Lord. Prompted by the Spirit he came to the Temple and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the Law required, he took him into his arms and blessed God; and he said: ‘Now, Master, you can let your servant go in peace, just as you promised; because my eyes have seen the salvation which you have prepared for all the nations to see, a light to enlighten the pagans and the glory of your people Israel.’ As the child’s father and mother stood there wondering at the things that were being said about him, Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, ‘You see this child: he is destined for the fall and for the rising of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is rejected – and a sword will pierce your own soul too – so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.’ There was a prophetess also, Anna the daughter of Phanuel,

• f the tribe of Asher. She was well on in years. Her days of

girlhood over, she had been married for seven years before becoming a widow. She was now eighty-four years old and never left the Temple, serving God night and day with fasting and prayer. She came by just at that moment and began to praise God; and she spoke of the child to all who looked forward to the deliverance of Jerusalem. When they had done everything the Law of the Lord required, they went back to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. Meanwhile the child grew to maturity, and he was filled with wisdom; and God’s favour was with him. The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. Memorial Acclamation: Number One We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.
