From the Parish Priest Dear Parishioners

As we celebrate Pentecost Sunday today let’s especially pray earnestly and with deep longing that the Holy Spirit will be poured out anew into our lives and families and indeed the whole Church. It is only the Holy Spirit of God who can authentically transform, heal and renew our lives into true images of Jesus Christ to give light and life to the world today.

In our Newsletter today, below, is an introduction by Br Shawn to a new guide you will find at the back of Mary Immaculate church, about posture and

singing at the Traditional Latin Mass. This will now indicate the standard postures for the lay faithful during the Extraordinary Form Masses at Mary Immaculate church. Thank you for your co-operation as we implement this new standardized practice for the Traditional Latin Mass so that it can quickly become natural and unifying for everyone attending these Masses.

Finally, Our Lady’s College has alerted me to the fact that we are still having a problem with parishioners parking their cars in front of the gates leading into the College grounds, next to the Parish Office in Ferndale Street. Access is required through these gates 24/7 and this is clearly marked. Please do not park in front of these gates when you are coming to Mass either on weekends or week days. Thank you.

Our Reflection for this week appears on Page 2 and is from a homily by Pope Francis for Pentecost 2016

Fr Andrew Wise

When to Stand and Sit at the Extraordinary Form of Mass

Instructional sheets on posture and when to sing during the Extraordinary Form Mass

are available at the back of the church.

The Church exhorts us to participate in Mass actively. Above all, this means uniting ourselves

interiorly to the priest’s offering of the sacrifice of the Mass, which should then overflow into

our responses and gestures. It is the congregation’s privilege and responsibility to express

itself to God through the singing or saying the parts of the Mass proper to it and by standing,

kneeling or sitting before God at the appropriate times. We have published instructional sheets

to assist you in achieving this.

At Mass we bring ourselves before the presence of God. We kneel in a spirit of penitence,

seeking God’s loving mercy and humbling ourselves in His presence. We sit to receive

instruction from the priest, Christ’s representative. And we stand in order to present ourselves

to the Lord as we are, praising him and recognising His majesty.

It is in connection with this that we stand whenever we sing. Aside from clearing our vocal

chords, standing is an expression of our standing before the throne of God, like the angels

mentioned in every Preface, with whose voices we join ours in singing Sanctus, Sanctus,

Sanctus...

There are various local customs concerning how we ought to comport ourselves during Mass.

Each church follows a slight different set of rules. This is mainly because the Church has not

officially published exact rubrics for the laity at Mass.

Various popes, however, have at different times given strong exhortations to the laity to

participate well at Mass. Pope Pius X exhorts us not just to pray at Mass, but to pray the Mass.

At Mass the faithful “should not be merely detached and silent spectators, but, filled with a

deep sense of the beauty of the Liturgy, they should sing alternately with the clergy or the

choir” teaches Pope Pius XI. The Second Vatican Council teaches: “Mother Church earnestly

desires that all the faithful should be led to that fully conscious, and active participation in

liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very nature of the liturgy.”

Therefore, please stand and sit as instructed, not as an empty gesture, but as a channel for the

loving worship of God. Sing those parts that belong to you such as the Asperges Me, Kyrie,

Sanctus and Agnus Dei because singing belongs to one who loves. Unite yourself to the

prayers of the Mass because God doesn’t merely want your physical presence at Mass; He

wants you. Listen to or follow devoutly the Gospel, receiving Christ in the Word in order to

prepare yourself to receive him in the Eucharist. Above all, remember that you are in the

presence of God at Mass

St. Vincent de Paul Society , Mary Immaculate Conference

Together we can do Heroic Things: This is the theme of the

2017 Winter Appeal. We will launch the 2017

Winter Appeal in Mary Immaculate Church on the weekend

of 10 – 11 June. You will find a SVDP Winter Appeal

Envelope on the pews from 10 June or at the back of the church. Over

the past year Mary Immaculate Conference have responded to calls for

assistance from more than 1000 residents of Annerley. The St Vincent

de Paul Society Winter Appeal continues to challenge the notion that

ordinary people are able to make an extraordinary difference in the

communities they live. The inspiration to do what matters is all around

us. The spirit to feed, heal, shelter, nurture, inspire – the power to

change lives – is in everyone. This winter your commitment to helping

those experiencing disadvantage, poverty and homelessness is still

very much needed and appreciated. And may we continue to be open

to that same Spirit, responding in love to those we serve, living in hope

of providing ordinary things of life extraordinarily well. We thank you

sincerely for your very generous past and ongoing support for the poor

in this parish. We would be grateful if you could place your donation in

the appeal envelopes on the pews and at the back of the church over

the next few weekends. You can place the envelopes in the collection

plates, give them to one of the conference members at the door at the

end of Mass, or, alternatively you may mail the pre paid envelope with

your donation. Thank you again for your generous donations which

assist our conference help those in most need in this parish.

WINTER IS HERE and the colder months

bring increased suffering to many of our less

fortunate brothers and sisters. In conjunction

with the Annual Vinnies Winter Appeal the

St Elizabeth’s Conference is conducting a Soup & Hot

Meals Drive. Please leave your donations at

St John Fisher Church. St Elizabeth’s Conference also

welcomes cash donations at any time during their

weekend leaving collections at St John Fisher Church.

Please give generously and help our Vinnies help

those most in need this winter. Thank you!

Reflection: I will not leave you orphans. (John 4:18)

The central purpose of Jesus mission, which culminated in the gift of the Holy Spirit, was to renew our relationship with the Father, a relationship severed by sin, to take us from our state of being orphaned children and to restore us as his sons and daughters. …

The Spirit is given to us by the Father and leads us back to the Father. The entire work of salvation is one of “re-generation”, in which the fatherhood of God, through the gift of the Son and the Holy Spirit, frees us from the condition of being orphans into which we had fallen. In our own day also, we see various signs of our being orphans: in the interior loneliness which we feel even when we are surrounded by people...; in the attempt to be free of God, even if accompanied by a desire for his presence; in the all-too-common spiritual illiteracy which renders us incapable of prayer; in the difficulty in grasping the truth and reality of eternal life as that fullness of communion which begins on earth and reaches full flower after death; in the effort to see others as “brothers” and “sisters”, since we are children of the same Father.... Being children of God runs contrary to all this and is our primordial vocation. We were made to be God’s children, it is in our DNA. But this filial relationship was ruined and required the sacrifice of God’s only-begotten Son in order to be restored. From the immense gift of love which is Jesus’ death on the cross, the Holy Spirit has been poured out upon humanity like a vast torrent of grace. Those who by faith are immersed into this mystery of regeneration are reborn to the fullness of filial life.

“I will not leave you orphans”. Today, on the feast of Pentecost, Jesus’ words remind us also of the maternal presence of Mary in the Upper Room. The Mother of Jesus is with the community of disciples gathered in prayer: she is the living remembrance of the Son and the living invocation of the Holy Spirit. She is the Mother of the Church. We entrust to her intercession, in a particular way, all Christians, families and communities that at this moment are most in need of the Spirit, the Paraclete, the Defender and Comforter, the Spirit of truth, freedom and peace.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SPARE WOOL? Nursing homes really appreciate receiving knitted knee rugs for their residents during this

cold weather. If you have any spare wool, please leave it at the back of the Church or contact Marie Melski on 3848 0338.

Pentecost Sunday - Year A: 3rd/4th June, 2017

MASS READINGS First Reading: Acts 2:1-11 When Pentecost day came round, the apostles had all met in one room, when suddenly they heard what sounded like a powerful wind from heaven, the noise of which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and something appeared to them that seemed like tongues of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak foreign languages as the Spirit gave them the gift of speech. Now there were devout men living in Jerusalem from every nation under heaven, and at this sound they all assembled, each one bewildered to hear these men speaking his own language. They were amazed and astonished. `Surely' they said `all these men speaking are Galileans? How does it happen that each of us hears them in his own native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; people from Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya round Cyrene; as well as visitors from Rome - Jews and proselytes alike - Cretans and Arabs; we hear them preaching in our own language about the marvels of God.'

The Word of the Lord

Response: Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm 103 (Said by all)

Bless the Lord, my soul! Lord God, how great you are, How many are your works, O Lord! The earth is full of your riches.

You take back your spirit, they die, returning to the dust from which they came.

You send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the earth. May the glory of the Lord last for ever!

May the Lord rejoice in his works! May my thoughts be pleasing to him. I find my joy in the Lord.

Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 12: 3-7, 12-13 No one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord’ unless he is under the influence of the Holy Spirit. There is a variety of gifts but always the same Spirit; there are all sorts of service to be done, but always to the same Lord; working in all sorts of different ways in different people, it is the same God who is working in all of them. The particular way in which the Spirit is given to each person is for a good purpose. Just as the human body, though it is made up of many parts, is a single unit because all these parts, though many, make one body, so it is with Christ. In the one Spirit we were all baptised, Jews as well as Greeks, slaves as well as citizens, and one Spirit was given us all to drink.

The Word of the Lord

Response: Thanks be to God

Gospel Acclamation: Alleluia, alleluia! Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in

them the fire of your love. Alleluia!

Gospel: John 20: 19-23

In the evening of the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them, ‘Peace be with you,’ and showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy when they saw the Lord, and he said to them again, ‘Peace be with you.’

As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.’ After saying this he breathed on them and said: ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.

For those whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven;

For those whose sins you retain, they are retained.’

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ

Memorial Acclamation: Number Two When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim your Death, O Lord, until you come again.
