Praise the Lord, my soul!
It is the Lord who keeps faith forever
who is just to those who are oppressed.
It is he who gives bread to the hungry,
the Lord who sets prisoners free.
Right:It is the Lord who gives sight to the
blind, who raises up those who are
bowed down.
It is the Lord who loves the just,
the Lord who protects the stranger.

but thwarts the path of the wicked.
The Lord will reign for ever,
Zion’s God, from age to age.

for them, whatever the circumstances of their
lives.

O Lord of the Harvest,
Bless with courage and spirit those who serve

Open the minds and hearts of many more to
accept the challenge to build your Kingdom.
Amen
Mary Help of Christians, pray for us.

 Our Multi Cultural
Christmas Gathering:
Claim the day 12/13 Dec.
A planning group is underway, to Celebrate
preparing for Christmas in all our Nationalities.
It is wonderful to sit around a meeting table
with ideas from everyone.
Reflect on a time when you were the recipient of a
generous gesture by another. What was revealed
about the giver in this gesture? How did you respond?
Reflect on occasions when we have been generous
as a nation. When have we been less than generous?
How did that make you feel as an individual citizen?
We welcome the Philippine Ambassador.
Together with the Couples for Christ in
Canberra will Celebrate Mass 8th Nov. at
10.00am. They would like to meet and greet
everyone and invite all to have lunch with
them, at St Brigid’s.

Parishioners to afternoon tea on Thursday 12
Nov. 2pm in the Parish Meeting Room, at the

Reflection
Jesus is scathing in this text in his comments about
people who parade their religiosity while living at the
expense of the poor. Merely making a show is not
how God wants to be honoured. Even the wealthy
who contribute so generously to the Temple treasury
are only giving of their excess; from what they do not
need. Instead it is the poor widow, who is under no
obligation to contribute to the Temple treasury, who
puts all she has at the service of God. With nothing
left
MINISTRY ROSTER: available from back of church.
Emails have been sent to all who have listed an email
address. Will be posted on website
CONCERT Musica da Camera
(string orchestra) Sunday November 15,
2:30 pm St Peter & Paul's (Door collection)
The Archdiocesan Commission for Women invites
you to their Annual Open Morning and this year our
guest speaker is Sally Fitzgerald who has been
involved officially with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander community since 2012. It is her desire to
bring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and
their culture back into the Catholic Church. Please
join us on Saturday 14 November, at 9:30am at the
Rheinberger Centre Yarralumla. Men and women are
invited to attend. A $5 donation would be appreciated
to cover costs. Enquiries to Margaret 0417 418 838.
This gospel refers to the Temple treasury. Jesus is not
critical of the collection of funds per se; he reserves
his scorn for those who exploit the poor and those
who are less than generous.
The collection of funds and the support of those in
need has always been a part of the traditional of the
Church. The letters of Paul, the earliest of Paul, the
earliest of the Christian writings, often refer to
collections made on behalf of some Christian
communities which were struggling. In the Acts of the
Apostles the sharing of material goods so that none
went without was part of the normal life of the first
Christians.
The giving of money to support
the Church and its works is still a
part of the life of every parish.
Caritas Australia is the official aid
and development agency of the
Church. During Lent, Caritas
runs Project Compassion which collects funds to be
used in other parts of the world to assist in authentic
human development for people who have little. Each
parish relies on contributions from the congregation
for the upkeep and running of parish programs and
buildings.
