Dear Parishioners, A reminder that this coming Wednesday 19 September our safeguarding training session for parish volunteers is to be held at the Marymac Centre from 6.30-9pm. Those for whom this

training is a requirement have been notified of the need for registration, and have either received their ticket (via email or hard copy), or will do so very shortly. Thank you to everyone for your understanding and patience with these safeguarding measures. We do need to ensure that our parish is a safe place for children and vulnerable adults, and, to that end, that our compliance with safeguarding procedures is complete.

On Sunday evening we have our third Oratorio for the year. St Philip Neri, founder of the Oratory in Rome in the 1500's, would arrange for concerts of sacred music which lifts the mind and heart to God. The focus of this Oratorio is music written in honour of Mary, Mother of God.

in Christ, Fr Scot Anthony Armstrong

Reflection

We should not be quick at correcting others, but rather to think of ourselves first.

St Philip Neri

“Unrest in the face of making decisions: Faced with an important decision, one of the errors to avoid is that of being excessively hurried or precipitous. A certain deliberation is often necessary in order properly to consider things and allow our hearts to orient themselves peaceably and gently toward a good solution. St Vincent de Paul made decisions that were presented to him after mature deliberation, and above all prayer, in such a way that some people who were close to him found him too slow to decide. But, one judges a tree by its fruit.”

see Searching For and Maintaining Peace, J. Philippe (Sceptre, New York, 2002)

Tuesday Rosary: On all Tuesdays in September, the Holy Rosary is recited for 'those who are humble; they will receive what God has promised!' And for the Pope, the Bishops and the Priests, through the intercession of Our Lady of Grace. It begins 10

minutes after the 7am Mass in Mary Immaculate Church. All welcome. Enquiries: Legion of Mary on O421 258 418 (Bill).

MASS READINGS

First Reading: Isaiah 50:5-9

The Lord has opened my ear. For my part, I made no resistance, neither did I turn away. I offered my back to those who struck me, my cheeks to those who tore at my beard; I did not cover my face against insult and spittle.

The Lord comes to my help, so that I am untouched by the insults. So, too, I set my face like flint; I know I shall not be shamed. My vindicator is here at hand. Does anyone start proceedings against me? Then let us go to court together. Who thinks he has a case against me? Let him approach me. The Lord is coming to my help, who dare condemn me?

The Word of the Lord

Response: Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm 114 (Said by all)

I love the Lord for he has heard the cry of my appeal; for he turned his ear to me in the day when I called him. They surrounded me, the snares of death, with the anguish of the tomb; they caught me, sorrow and distress. I called on the Lord's name. O Lord my god, deliver me! How gracious is the Lord, and just; our God has compassion. The Lord protects the simple hearts; I was helpless so he saved me. He has kept my soul from death, my eyes from tears and my feet from stumbling. I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living.

Second Reading: James 2:14-18

Take the case, my brothers, of someone who has never done a single good act but claims that he has faith. Will that faith save him?

If one of the brothers or one of the sisters is in need of clothes and has not enough food to live on, and one of you says to them, "I wish you well; keep yourself warm and eat plenty." without giving them these bare necessities of life, then what good is that? Faith is like that: if good works do not go with it, it is quite dead. This is the way to talk to people of that kind: "You say you have faith and I have good deeds; I will prove to you that I have faith by showing you my good deeds - now you prove to me that you have faith without any good deeds to show."

The Word of the Lord

Response: Thanks be to God

Gospel Acclamation:

Alleluia, alleluia! My only glory is the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, which crucifies the world to me and me to the world. Alleluia.

Gospel: Mark 8:27-35

Jesus and his disciples left for the villages round Caesarea Philippi. On the way he put this question to his disciples, "Who do people say I am?" And they told him. "John the Baptist," they said "others Elijah; others again, one of the prophets." "But you," he asked "who do you say I am?" Peter spoke up and said to him, "You are the Christ." And he gave them strict orders not to tell anyone about him. And he began to teach them that the Son of Man was destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and to be put to death, and after three days to rise again; and he said all this quite openly. Then, taking him aside, Peter started to remonstrate with him. But, turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said to him, "Get behind me, Satan! Because the way you think is not God's way but man's." He called the people and his disciples to him and said, "If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me. For anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it."

The Gospel of the Lord

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ
