Dear Parish Family,

I really like families to have pets. There is something about a pet for kids particularly. If we are right in owning a pet our children learn so many lessons about care and commitment. Dogs and cats particularly can be great fun and they can be also demanding like all of us; they need to be fed, housed, walked, groomed, and engaged with. They live long and happy lives with us. Are great companions, good company.

I like some of the pets to be short lifers though. Goldfish, budgies, and lizards are perfect short life pets. They have a life, are active and need care but it can be a short life. Perfect for teaching grief and loss to the younger members of the family. I’ve attended many, many, many goldfish funerals over the years. They are beautiful and moving.

These little life lessons help build in us a capacity to be resilient, to pick our selves up and keep going. Like all our losses really, they show us that whilst it is heartbreaking, gut wrenching even we can get through it, and we can keep going. The loss of a loved one heartbreaking and it doesn’t matter how old you are or how old they are the loss hits hard. And whilst I am in no way comparing the loss of a goldfish to the loss of a beloved family member, in one sense, the loss of the goldfish does help us learn how to suffer our losses and to grieve.

We sometimes forget that there are other losses in our lives including the loss of job, a home, mobility, friends, hometowns, value and worth. Some how our identity can be tied to the place we live, the people we are friends with and the job we do and when they are removed or lost, we can grieve their passing in much the same way we grieve the loss of a loved one. We wonder why we are sad, down, crying or feeling aimless and alone when we move away from friends or have a falling out with friends or loose our job. All signs of the grieving the pro-cess.

Life’s lessons, maybe the loss of that goldfish, have taught us that we can get through, we know how to be resil-ient, and we’ve learnt the vital steps for rebuilding and going on. And as we know grieving sometimes takes a short period of time and other times takes years to work through. Each one of us does it differently and in our own time and way. Not only do we need to be kind and gentle with others in the process but also with our-selves.

As a faith community we have many traditions and rituals that sustain and support us in our grieving. It is ‘funny’ to think you might have funeral for the loss of a job, but we do take great comfort from the rituals that acknowledge the passing and the new beginning that something such as a funeral does celebrate. We are ritual people. The ritual helps identify even in the loss of a job that we have lost something important to us, sense of value maybe or identity and that life is going to be different as a result.

I really love the line in preface 1 of the funeral Mass ‘our life is changed but not ended’ referring to our earthly vessel having died. In all our losses there is a change in our relationship with others and in the case of the loss of a job a change in our relationship with ourselves. Life is changed but not ended.

I am grateful to the many goldfish who come into our lives and teach us so many of the important lessons of life.

Have a great week everyone,

Greg Parish Priest

Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship:

Many of us are keen on recycling and spend a lot of time making sure we lodged our items in the right bins on collection night.

Two extra opportunities: when you take the plastic cap off your bottles put then to one side and when you come to Mass drop them in the box provided as they can be turned into prosthetics; and for those of you who drink from coffee machines with pods save the pods and drops them to the church too and I will ensure they go to the right recycling point.

An opportunity exists for a volunteer or volunteers who are keen on sustainability to help our parish be more sustainable. If you are interested let me know via email or phone the parish office.

LITURGY OF THE WORD

Entrance Antiphon (Cf. Ps 16:6,8) To you I call; for you will surely heed me, O God; turn your ear to me; hear my words. Guard me as the apple of your eye; in the shadow of your wings protect me.

First Reading (53:10-11)

A reading from the prophet Isai-ah The Lord has been pleased to crush his servant with suffering. If he offers his life in atonement, he shall see his heirs, he shall have a long life and through him what the Lord wishes will be done. His soul's anguish over he shall see the light and be content. By his sufferings shall my servant justify many, taking their faults on himself.

Responsorial Psalm

(Ps 32:4-5. 18-20. 22. R. v.22)

(R.) Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you. 1. The word of the Lord is faith-ful and all his works to be trust-ed. The Lord loves justice and right and fills the earth with his love. (R.) 2. The Lord looks on those who revere him, on those who hope in his love. To rescue their souls from death, to keep them alive in famine. (R.) 3. Our soul is waiting for the Lord. The Lord is our help and our shield. May your love be up-on us, O Lord, as we place all our hope in you. (R.)

Second Reading (4:14-16)

A reading from the letter to the Hebrews Since in Jesus, the Son of God, we have the supreme high priest who has gone through to the highest heaven, we must never let go of the faith that we have professed. For it is not as if we had a high priest who was inca-pable of feeling our weaknesses with us; but we have one who has been tempted in every way that we are, though he is without sin. Let us be confident, then, in ap-proaching the throne of grace, that we shall have mercy from him and find grace when we are in need of help. Gospel Acclamation

(Mk 10:45) Alleluia, alleluia! The Son of Man came to serve and to give his life as a ransom for all. Alleluia! Gospel (10:35-45)

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approached Jesus. ‘Master,’ they said to him, ‘we want you to do us a favour.’ He said to them, ‘What is it you want me to do for you?’ They said to him, ‘Allow us to sit one at your right hand and the other at your left in your glory.’ ‘You do not know what you are asking’ Jesus said to them. ‘Can you drink the cup that I must drink, or be baptised with the baptism with which I must be baptised?’ They replied, ‘We can.’ Jesus said to them, ‘The cup that I must drink you shall drink, and with the baptism with which I

must be baptised you shall be baptised, but as for seats at my right hand or my left, these are not mine to grant; they belong to those to whom they have been allotted.’ When the other ten heard this they began to feel indignant with James and John, so Jesus called them to him and said to them: ‘You know that among the pa-gans their so-called rulers lord it over them, and their great men make their authority felt. This is not to happen among you. No; anyone who wants to become great among you must be your servant, and anyone who wants to be first among you must be slave to all. For the Son of Man himself did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.’

PASTORAL MINISTRY IN TIME OF COVID AND BEYOND Dear Parishioners, The Maitland-Newcastle Central Clergy Fund (MCCF) has always relied on your generosity by means of the First Collection at Mass along with Stole Fees donated for Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals, in order to pay our active Clergy a monthly salary along with a sustenance (food) allowance. These funds are deposited into a banking account from which a payment each month is allocated to the working priests of our Diocese. Up until the beginning of the Pandemic, your weekly generosity has ensured that this could be done. Now, for the first time in the Fund’s history, be-cause of the Virus and its consequence lock-downs, there are insufficient funds to do so. This letter to you is in the hope that you will con-tinue to support the priests in your parishes as best you can. The Board members fully under-stand that these are hard times. We hope to en-sure that every parish can support its priest. While thanking you for past generosity, we are asking directly for financial help so that our funds are there to meet our obligations. We have reduced the monthly stipend(salary) of clergy by 2/3s at this difficult time. Donations may be made directly to the First Col-lection of your Parish as per the bulletin details. We thank you in anticipation. MCCF Board

LATEST NEWS FROM OUR SAFEGUARDING PROMOTERS

The Promoters of Safeguarding continue to endorse a culture of safeguarding within the Parish by en-hancing knowledge and awareness of the risks of harm to children. In common with the misconcep-tions about Domestic Family Violence that was ad-dressed last week, sexual abuse of children is more frequent than is commonly believed.

Statistics show that:-

• Children are mostly abused by someone they know – even relatives and family members.

• Child sexual abuse happens in all cultures and all types of families.

• Girls and boys of all ages are at risk.

Abusers go to great lengths to win the trust of chil-dren. They often target vulnerable children. A nor-mal friendly relationship develops into a sexual one, with either the abuser persuading or coercing a child to cooperate. Then, abusers often use threats that something terrible happen in order to stop the child telling. Many abusers make children keep their abuse a secret – often using threats. Children need to know the difference between safe and unsafe se-crets. Teach them that the only OK secrets are those which gives someone a pleasant surprise.

It is important to teach children that they can refuse to do anything with an adult or another child that they feel is wrong or makes them feel frightened or uneasy. You cannot, however, expect a child to say “No!” Encourage them to tell you whenever the are worried about what adults of other children want them to do. ALWAYS LISTEN CAREFULLY to a child’s fears and concerns. Stop what you are doing and really pay attention.

Teach your children how to stay safe from sexual abuse just as you would talk to them about road, fire, water and internet safety. Even little children know the difference between touching that is OK or not OK. Explain to them that no-one has the right to touch them in places and ways that makes them feel scared or uncomfortable.

Families can help keep children safe by knowing about their daily world:-

• Where they are

• Where they play

• The activities in which they become involved

• How they use information technology – inter-net, websites, chat rooms, emails, videos, CDs and DVDs

• Who you, as a parent/carer, trust to look after them when you are not there

• Work out with children which key people they can trust to ask for help if they are frightened and you aren’t there

At the conclusion of this weekend’s Gospel, we hear

Jesus make a statement that is at the heart of all

missionary endeavours: “…the Son of Man did not

come to be served but to serve.” For missionaries

like Sr Chalaad, this is the call that compels her and

other Good Shepherd Sisters to operate programs

like a kindergarten and a mother and children’s

home in Thailand. Through such endeavours, they

reach out and bring life – the Catholic Mission mis-

sion statement – to some of the most vulnerable

and needy people in the world. On the eve of the

Church celebrating World Mission Sunday (October

24), let us turn our hearts, minds and even our fi-

nancial affairs, to such missionaries and their gift of

service. During this month, please consider your

capacity to donate, to offer a major gift, or to leave

an eternal legacy, through a gift in your will.

ACU Centre for Liturgy | Ritual Bodies as ‘Reasonable Worship’: Putting Liturgy in Proper Ethical Perspective Bruce T Morrill SJ will present on Ritual Bodies as 'Reasonable Worship': Putting liturgy in proper ethical perspective. In our current Synod process we hear a longing for more formation opportuni-ties so this lecture is an opportunity not to be missed. It will explore the challenges of theologi-cal rhetoric for 21st century Catholics, and how those challenges can illuminate the connection between liturgy and ethical living.

Building Bridges: Reaching out to our LGBTQUIA+ community with James Mar-tin SJ Globally, people who are LGBTQIA+ are at in-creased risk of depression, suicide, and verbal, physical and sexual harassment and abuse. James recognised a lack of Church advocacy on these issues following the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting in the USA, noticing that few Catholic Bishops publicly spoke out about the massacre. This prompted him to consider how the Church could better minister to LGBTQIA+ Catholics, discussed in his book, Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Com-passion, and Sensitivity (2017). Join this online conversation with James to ex-plore how the Church in Australia can do more to welcome and truly respect and enhance the digni-ty of all, honouring the diversity in humanity.

"Amoris Laetitia Family Year “ 19 March 2021- 26 June 2022 The “Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love) Family Year” is an initiative of Pope Francis, which aims to reach every family around the world through several spiritual, pastoral and cultural proposals that can be implemented within parishes, dioces-es, universities, ecclesial movements and family associations. Over the course of ten monthly episodes, hear the Holy Father talk about each of the chapters of the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, along with the testimonies of different families who will share some aspects of their daily lives. This initiative is a joint collaboration between the Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life and Vati-can News, and aims to facilitate the reading of the Apostolic Exhortation, with the aid of down-loadable material prepared for personal and com-munity reflection.

Advent is edging closer and sales are ramping up for our Blessed—Daily Advent and Christmas Reflections 2021 book including discount pricing for bulk orders as well as a GST free option for Australian Catholic Religious Groups!

This year has been a rollercoaster of emotions and challenges, especially in light of the pan-demic. As we hopefully ease back into the routines of our lives from the advent of lockdown, may we see how our re-emergence into new life mirrors the Advent season as we await the birth of the Saviour. God chose Mary to give birth to Jesus, and Christ has chosen us as his dwelling when we meditate on his Word and receive him in the Eucharist.

As we countdown the days to Christmas, we pray that by meditating on God’s Word in these daily Advent and Christmas re-flections, you may be graced with moments of silence to ponder in your heart (cf. Lk 2:19) the many “blessings” in your life—inspiring you in your call to “blessedness” (that is, "holiness") where true happiness is gained (cf. Pope Francis, Gaudete et exsultate, 64).

Blessed is a 92-page pocket-size book containing short spiritually rich, yet accessible, daily reflections from the be-ginning of Advent (28 November 2021) through to the Baptism of the Lord (9 January 2022).

Blessed also features beautiful religious artworks from the Masters such as Murillo, Strozzi, Jouvenet, Botticelli and Reni with enlightening “Artwork Spotlight” reflections written by the popular Monsignor Graham Schmitzer.

Many of your favourite contributors are back with us this year including: Mother Hilda Scott OSB, Fr Antony Jukes OFM, Sr Anastasia Reeves OP, Fr Christopher G Sarkis, Sr Elena Marie Piteo OP, Fr Sean Cullen, Therese Mills MGL, Peter Gilmore, Trish McCarthy, Fr Mark De Battista, Fr Dan Serratore MGL, Sr Magdalen Mather OSB, Matthew Okinga, Sr Mary Helen Hill OP, Fr Richard Green OSPPE, Michelle Vass, Jude Hennessy, Darren McDowell, Seth Harsh and Ken Bryant. We also have some brilliant new contributors this year including: Katherine Stone MGL, Br Lewis Harwood DLS and Bernadette Toohey MGL. We are excited to bring you the wisdom and spiritual direction of these wonderful contributors, so don’t delay in purchasing your copies before they all sell out. Many customers buy bulk copies of the book for family and friends as an alternative to Christmas cards. We have included a page in the book for you to write your Christmas gift message.

Pricing

To purchase you copies, just select whether you are purchasing as an individual or on behalf of a GST free Catholic Religious Group and you will see the discounted bulk pricing rates.
