Gospel Reflection The question of every year, of every century , the question of the ages - Jesus asks His Disciples, and He asks each one of us - “Who do you say I am?” Don’t quibble, don’t hesitate, don’t pretend Can we answer as did Simon Peter - “You are the Christ, you are the Son of God.” If, we do, and I am sure we do, then our lives must reflect what we believe - in our home, in our Parish, in our work place in the wider community. The question challenges us at the very heart of our being. If we answer that He was just another human being - then He is just the same as us. But if we proclaim Him as our God and our Saviour, then surely we are under an obligation to commit ourselves to Him with all of our being. Let us all question ourselves - do our lives truly reflect what we belief? So what is my answer to His question- “WHO DO YOU SAY I AM?” Late Father John Langtry
SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already here,
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Safeguarding Sunday, 12 September 2021 This Sunday we reflect on how we can improve the ways we care for, protect and listen to the Children and Young People in our communities. To help us, the Safeguarding Office has de-veloped two new resources:
· Children’s Activity Book and A Guide for Young People to Better Understand their Wellbeing.
· Children and Young People’s Participation in Catholic Communities, a guide that promotes community aware-ness to support, engage, listen to and communicate with Children and Young People.
These resources can be accessed on the Safeguarding website: https://www.sydneycatholic.org/safeguarding-and-child-protection/
Write to your local NSW MP to stop pro-posed euthanasia laws in our state. Parishioners are encouraged to please con-tact your local NSW MP, expressing your opposition to the voluntary assisted dying bill, proposed by Independent MP Alex Greenwich.
The anti-euthanasia coalition, HOPE has developed an online tool that will allow you to send an email directly to your state MP and to all members of the NSW Upper House. https://www.noeuthanasia.org.au/petition_2108_ocp_nsw
