FIRST READING: Daniel 7:13-14
A reading from the prophet Daniel
His sovereignty is eternal.
I gazed into the visions of the night.
And I saw, coming on the clouds of heaven,
one like a son of man.
He came to the one of great age
and was led into his presence.
On him was conferred sovereignty,
glory and kingship,
and men of all peoples, nations and languages
became his servants.
His sovereignty is an eternal sovereignty
which shall never pass away,
nor will his empire be destroyed.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps 92:1-2. 5

he has girded himself with power.
Response.
The world you made firm, not to be moved;
your throne has stood firm from of old.
From all eternity, O Lord, you are.
Response.
Truly your decrees are to be trusted.
Holiness is fitting to your house,
O Lord, until the end of time.

us and has washed away our sins with his blood, and
made us a line of kings, priests to serve his God and
Father; to him, then, be glory and power for ever and
ever. Amen. It is he who is coming on the clouds;
everyone will see him, even those who pierced him,
and all the races of the earth will mourn over him.

PARISH NEWS & NOTICES: Please remember in your prayers all who have died recently especially Marcia ATKINS, Mary Iris OWEN and Jean HARMAN. We also pray for all who have anniversaries at this time. May the Lord grant eternal rest to all.
Ken Harman & his family wish to express their sincere thanks for the prayers and excellent support from parishioners following the recent passing of Jean.
CHARITABLE WORKS FUND (CWF) APPEAL is on THIS weekend – it’s the last one
for the year! So please be generous as your donation will make a real difference in helping the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney fulfil its mission in our local communities.
NEW SIGN FOR THE CHURCH:
The Parish Council and I think it is important that we make our community more visible in an effort to reach other brothers and sisters within the community. A great way to do that is with a clear beautiful sign for our Church which we have commissioned this week. The sign will cost us almost $14,000. One parishioner generously gave a contribution for this sign but we would appreciate more donations. If you would like to contribute to this special work please see me.
Many thanks, Fr Roberto.
