29th Sunday the Year 2009     B   MISSION SUNDAY 2009

Entry: 
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart,
naught be all else to me save that thou art;
thou my best thought in the day and night,
waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.

 Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word,
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord;
thou my great Father, and I thy true son;
thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.

 St Andrew Gloria :   

Reading I: Isaiah 53:10-11

 Psalm 32: He fills the earth with his love

 The word of the Lord is faithful, we trust him in all he does.
The Lord loves justice, justice and fairness, he fills the earth,
he fills the earth, he fills the earth with his love.
He fills the earth with his love.

 By his word the heav’ns were made; the breath of his mouth made the stars.  The Lord looks on those, those who revere him, on those who hope, on those who hope, on those who hope in his love.  He fills the earth with his love.

And so we await the Lord, the Lord is our help and shield. We trust that your love will be upon us, we place all our hope, we place all our hope, we place all our hope in you.   He fills the earth with his love.

 Reading II: Hebrews 4:14-16

To welcome the Gospel: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.  I am the way, the truth and the life.  No-one can come to the Father except through me.   Alleluia. . . . . . .

Short commentary on  today’s Reading I: Isaiah 53:10-11

This extract is particularly significant because it contains the key word “many”: “by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous.”

In later Judaism, the rabbies interpreted “many” here to mean, not some, but all—that is, the nations of the world—thus ascribing universal significance to the servant’s work (in rabbinic interpretation, the servant was not the Messiah but Israel).

In the Christian application of this prophecy to Christ, the universality of his redeeming work is expressed by the use of “many” from the servant song, as in the gospel reading for today (Mark 10:45).

October is the Church’s Mission Month and on Mission    Sunday, the second last Sunday in October, every parish in the   world takes up a special collection for the mission work of the   church. This is the principal funding for the A.P.F.

 This money is used to subsidise the new dioceses of the church in mission areas, build churches, schools and hospitals.   To Train and support Catechists   Provide care for refugees.Provide emergency aid.  Translate missals and bibles into local languages.   Open new missions.  Provide medium and long term support for development.

that you love one another
as I have loved you,
that you love one another,
as I have loved you.

 

By this shall all men know that you are my disciples –

if you have love one for another.

By this shall all men know that you are my disciples –

if you have love one for another.

Enjoying the BBQ

Firstly a very big thank you to the very many people who contributed in so many ways.  And to all those who attended; weren’t we lucky with the weather!  This is an account of how we did and what use is made of the funds raised.  The money raised (and more will come in as we continue to sell oplants on Sunday) is put into a “Special Projects Fund “.  In previous years this money has been used to pay for such projects as adapting the toilets for disabled use and emergency repairs necessitated by water getting in through the roof of the Sacristy.

The financial health of the parish would be considerably  strained without your generosity so thank you, once again.
