in Ministries to develop our Parish focusing on our spiritual growth

21st Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B)

21st Sunday of the Ordinary Time – Year B

To whom shall we go?

We have many things to think about in life. We think about our health and we try

not to take junk foods that will result in high cholesterol or high blood or heart

problems. We think about our wealth and we hope that we will have enough savings

to enjoy a golden sunset. We also think about our relationships, and that will include

our marriage, our parents, our children and our loved ones.

And then on and off, we might think about the after-life. Strange that we think about

it only on and off. Because the after-life is about eternity, as compared to this life

which is only temporary. Peter answered on behalf of the other apostles and also on

our behalf, “To whom shall we go o Lord? You have the words of eternal life;" you

are the life for us, the real joy and peace, the true and unending happiness. We are a

called to choose this fundamental option of life: life in Jesus, for Jesus, and with

Jesus, the Word of Life, there is real life and joy in Him.

Parish Feast celebration

Our parish feast celebration on last Sunday was a great success in all levels. The

church was packed with the faithful from various parishes of the Peel Region. Rev.

Fr. Tony Chiera, the main celebrant of the mass was a big hit with his words of

wisdom and style. The Liturgy team and the Choir led by Geraldine Williams and

the Acolytes etc. deserve a big thanks.

Mount Carmel Adoration Chapel

It was a great dream of this parish to have an adoration chapel and our dream has

come true by blessing and dedicating Mount Carmel Adoration Chapel on last

Sunday. Let us thank God and our Lady of Assumption for this wonderful and

beautiful gift.

I take this occasion to thank a few people for the realization of this chapel. First of

all I gratefully remember and thank my predecessors Fr. Xavier Mathirapilly and Fr.

Theophane Nelliparambil who initiated this project years ago but couldn’t finish it

due to various reasons. Ever since I arrived last year, with the help of Finance

committee and Parish Pastoral Council, started planning on this project. I received a

good support from them and from our parishioners morally and financially and I

thank everyone for their great backing.

Let me state here a few names who helped to beautify our chapel to this present

condition. Mr. David Thomson and Mr. Cornelius Van Dyk, our maintenance group

of the Finance Committee for their constant planning, supervising, fixing the sacred

pictures, painting etc. They deserve our applause.

Mr. Winston Rennick deserves a special thanks for making a glass tabernacle

with the beautiful light arrangements around the monstrance. Mr. Bob

Fitzgerald also helped Winston to fix the tabernacle and re-positioned the red

carpet platform. I would like to thank Mrs. Mary Fitzgerald and Mrs. May

Rennick for stitching and giving 3 sets of tabernacle veils and borders. They

are beautiful and adorable.

I must acknowledge a few people for their generosity and good will for

donating a substantial amount for the completion of our adoration chapel. The

beautiful Monstrance was donated by our Carmelite Nuns in Gelorup. Mrs.

Trin Stewart for donating the cost of Iconic Cross in memory of her late

husband Dr. Neil Stewart; Carmelite Friars of our community for the cost of

Our Lady of Mount Carmel icon; Deacon Ernie, Mrs. Ann Forde, Mrs. Marie

Almond and Mrs. Lakhni Tivanka. May the Lord bless their generosity

abundantly!

Mandurah Catholic College and their contribution

Some of you have already visited our adoration chapel and the very moment

we enter this sacred space, there we feel a heavenly atmosphere and quiteness.

The mural is beautiful with the angels adoring the Lord and a stained glass

window presents the creation story and the ministry of Jesus are also very

attractive to our chapel. Who created them? It is the beautiful gift of our

Mandurah Catholic College (MCC). The students of MCC deserve a big

applause for their creativeness and artistic talents. I thank their principal Chris

Wallace, Torryl Blackwell – head of the Arts Department, Peter Martin – head

of the Visual Arts, Cairn Sander – Tech and Miles Carpenter, the artist who

fixed the paintings on the wall.

The two beautiful icons of St. Francis Assisi cross and Lady of Mount Carmel

are the creation of a renowned artist who was present with us last Sunday and

she is Mrs. Marice Saviola and she has done similar works for other churches

in Perth. She will be also remembered here in our church.

Special word of thanks to Cindy, Bebe and Melinda for the decoration of the

sanctuary and chapel and keeping flowers beautifully. Thanks to David and

Jean for sponsoring the flowers of last Sunday. A big applause to the 6 flower

girls for joining the Eucharistic procession. Finally I thank all the ministry

group representatives for joining the Blessed Sacrament procession to our

adoration chapel. It was a beautiful and lovely procession!

WELCOME! We welcome all friends, families, visitors and new parishioners to Our Lady’s Assumption Catholic Church. We are grateful of your presence here today. We hope that you will have a wonderful and uplifting time with us. God bless you all.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Ps 33:2–3,16–23 R. Taste and see the goodness of the Lord. I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise always on my lips; in the Lord my soul shall make its boast. The humble shall hear and be glad. R. The Lord turns his face against the wicked to destroy their remembrance from the earth. The Lord turns his eyes to the just and his ears to their appeal. R. They call and the Lord hears and rescues them in all their distress. The Lord is close to the broken-hearted; those whose spirit is crushed he will save. R. Many are the trials of the just man but from them all the Lord will rescue him. He will keep guard over all his bones, not one of his bones shall be broken. R. Evil brings death to the wicked; those who hate the good are doomed. The Lord ransoms the souls of his servants. Those who hide in him shall not be condemned. R.

First Reading

A reading from the book of Joshua 24:1–2, 15–18 Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel together at Shechem; then he called the elders, leaders, judges and scribes of Israel, and they presented themselves before God. Then Joshua said to all the people: 'If you will not serve the Lord, choose today whom you wish to serve, whether the gods that your ancestors served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are now living. As for me and my House, we will serve the Lord.' The people answered, 'We have no intention of deserting the Lord our God who brought us and our ancestors out of the land of Egypt, the house of slavery, who worked those great wonders before our eyes and preserved us all along the way we travelled and among all the peoples through whom we journeyed. We too will serve the Lord, for he is our God.' The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

SECOND READING

A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Ephesians 5:21–32 Give way to one another in obedience to Christ. Wives should regard their husbands as they regard the Lord, since as Christ is head of the Church and saves the whole body, so is a husband the head of his wife; and as the Church submits to Christ, so should wives submit to their husbands, in everything. Husbands should love their wives just as Christ loved the Church and sacrificed himself for her to make her holy. He made her clean by washing her in water with a form of words, so that when he took her to himself she would be glorious, with no speck or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and faultless. In the same way, husbands must love their wives as they love their own bodies; for a man to love his wife is for him to love himself. A man never hates his own body, but he feeds it and looks after it; and that is the way Christ treats the Church, because it is his body - and we are its living parts. For this reason, a man must leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one body. This mystery has many implications; but I am saying it applies to Christ and the Church. The Word of the Lord Thanks be to God.

Gospel acclamation

Alleluia, alleluia! Your words, Lord, are spirit and life: you have the words of everlasting life. Alleluia!

GOSPEL

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John 6:60–69 After hearing his doctrine many of the followers of Jesus said, 'This is intolerable language. How could anyone accept it?' Jesus was aware that his followers were complaining about it and said, 'Does this upset you? What if you should see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before? 'It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh has nothing to offer. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. 'But there are some of you who do not believe.' For Jesus knew from the outset those who did not believe, and who it was that would betray him. He went on, 'This is why I told you that no one could come to me unless the Father allows him.' After this, many of his disciples left him and stopped going with him.

Then Jesus said to the Twelve, 'What about you, do you want to go away too?' Simon Peter answered, 'Lord, who shall we go to? You have the message of eternal life, and we believe; we know that you are the Holy One of God.' The Gospel of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Table Fellowship – Youth Ministry Networking

This is an invitation to youth ministry leaders, coordinators, and teachers to come together for conversation, networking and mutual support. One of the major ways Jesus gathered and formed His community of disciples was to break bread with them, commonly referred to these days as ‘table fellowship’. Great things can happen when we gather committed and passionate people together to eat, talk and pray.

Bunbury Diocesan Office, 4th of September 2021. 12pm – 2pm.

RSVP Essential. Please RSVP via email to dioyouth@bunburycatholic.org.au

by the 28th of August 2021.

We would like to invite young people ages 12—18 to our Youth Social Night from 7pm to 9pm at the parish Centre. Peel Catholic Youth has a number of activities lined up for a fun night! We hope this will encourage the spirit of young people in our parish and give them the opportunity to discover new relationships. If you are interested, please register through the link provided on the poster shown above or scan the QR code.

Preparing to hear God’s word Think about the kinds of decisions you make each day. Perhaps you have to think about what to wear, and what you would like for breakfast. What other choices do you make?

The Gospel story Many people were finding it too hard to follow Jesus, and so they were turning away from him. In the gospel story we hear today, the disciples too were faced with the important choice of whether or not they were going to follow Jesus. Simon Peter declares that there is no one else that they can go to. He tells Jesus that the disciples have faith in him, because the words of Jesus give eternal life.

Reflecting on the Gospel

Will we follow Jesus, or will we choose to follow someone or something else? Who else or what else might people choose to follow? It may not always be easy to follow Jesus, but to whom can we go? Who else offers eternal life?

Pope Francis @ Pontifex “Let us remember those who cannot go on vacation. I think especially of the ill, the

elderly, the incarcerated, the unemployed, refugees and all those who are alone or in difficulty. May Mary extend her maternal protection over each one of you. “

Pope Francis’ Prayer Intention for August 2021

Evangelisation

The Church

Let us pray for the Church, that She may receive from the Holy Spirit the grace and strength

to reform herself in the light of the Gospel.

Prayer

Jesus Christ, master and head of the Church, who desires that she be faithful to you and

modelled after you, we ask you that, without delay, our Church may proclaim the joy of the

Gospel. Send your spirit over Her, making her obedient and available so that, through action,

prayer, and discernment, she may navigate the true path of conversion, deepening her

constant missionary vocation and reaching all places and all people with the light of the

Gospel and the comfort of the Father’s love.

St. Bartholomew- August 24

Saint Bartholomew is one of the Twelve Apostles, mentioned sixth in the three Gospel lists (Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:14), and seventh in the list of Acts (1:13). The name (Bartholomaios) means "son of Talmai" which was an ancient Hebrew name. Besides being listed as an Apostle, he is not otherwise mentioned in the New Testament, at least not under the name Bartholomew: many ancient writers, and Catholic tradition have

identified Bartholomew as Nathaniel in the Gospel of John (John 1:45-51, and 21:2). The Roman Martyrology says he preached in India and Greater Armenia, where he was flayed and beheaded by King Astyages. Tradition has the place as Abanopolis on the west coast of the Caspian Sea and that he also preached in Mesopotamia, Persia, and Egypt. The Gospel of Bartholomew is apocryphal and was condemned in the decree of Pseudo-Gelasius. St. Monica- August 27

One day before the feast of her son St. Augustine, the Catholic Church honours St. Monica, whose holy example and fervent intercession led to one of the most dramatic conversions in Church history. Monica was born into a Catholic family in 332, in the North African city of Tagaste located in present-day Algeria. She was raised by a maidservant who taught her the virtues of obedience and temperance. While still relatively young, she married Patricius, a Roman civil servant with a bad temper and a disdain for his wife's religion. Patricius' wife dealt patiently with his distressing behaviour, which included infidelity to their marriage vows. But she experienced a greater grief when he would not allow their three children – Augustine, Nagivius, and Perpetua – to receive Baptism. When Augustine, the oldest, became sick and was in danger of death, Patricius gave consent for his Baptism, but withdrew it when he recovered. Monica's long-suffering patience and prayers eventually helped Patricius to see the error of his ways, and he was baptized into the Church one year before his death in 371. Her oldest son, however, soon embraced a way of life that brought her further grief, as he fathered a child out of wedlock in 372. One year later, he began to practice the occult religion of Manichaeism. In her distress and grief, Monica initially shunned her oldest son. However, she experienced a mysterious dream that strengthened her hope for Augustine's soul, in which a messenger assured her: “Your son is with you.” After this experience, which took place around 377, she allowed him back into her home, and continued to beg God for his conversion. But this would not take place for another nine years. In the meantime, Monica sought the advice of local clergy, wondering what they might do to persuade her son away from the Manichean heresy. One bishop, who had once belonged to that sect himself, assured Monica that it was “impossible that the son of such tears should perish.” These tears and prayers intensified when Augustine, at age 29, abandoned Monica without warning as she passed the night praying in a chapel. Without saying goodbye to his mother, Augustine boarded a ship bound for Rome. Yet even this painful event would serve God's greater purpose, as Augustine left to become a teacher in the place where he was destined to become a Catholic. Under the influence of the bishop St. Ambrose of Milan, Augustine renounced the teaching of the Manicheans around 384. Monica followed her son to Milan, and drew encouragement from her son's growing interest in the saintly bishop's preaching. After three years of struggle against his own desires and perplexities, Augustine succumbed to God's grace and

was baptized in 387. Shortly before her death, Monica shared a profound mystical experience of God with Augustine, who chronicled the event in his “Confessions.” Finally, she told him: “Son, for myself I have no longer any pleasure in anything in this life. Now that my hopes in this world are satisfied, I do not know what more I want here or why I am here.” “The only thing I ask of you both,” she told Augustine and his brother Nagivius, “is that you make remembrance of me at the altar of the Lord wherever you are.” St. Monica died at age 56, in the year 387. In modern times, she has become the inspiration for the St. Monica Sodality, which encourages prayer and penance among Catholics whose children have left the faith. St. Augustine- August 28

St. Augustine was born at the town of Thagaste (now Souk-Ahras in modern day Algeria) on November 13, 354 and grew to become one the most significant and influential thinkers in the history of the Catholic Church. His teachings were the foundation of Christian doctrine for a millennium. The story of his life, up until his conversion, is written in the autobiographical Confessions, the most intimate and well-known glimpse into an individual's soul ever written, as well as a fascinating philosophical, theological, mystical, poetic and literary work. Augustine, though being brought up in early childhood as a Christian, lived a dissolute life of revelry and sin, and soon drifted away from the Church - thinking that he wasn't necessarily leaving Christ, of whose name he acknowledges "I kept it in the recesses of my heart; and all that presented itself to me without that Divine name, though it might be elegant, well written, and even replete with truth, did not altogether carry me away" (Confessions, I, iv). He went to study in Carthage and became well-known in the city for his brilliant mind and rhetorical skills and sought a career as an orator or lawyer. But he also discovered and fell in love with philosophy at the age of 19, a love he pursued with great vehemence. He was attracted to Manicheanism at this time, after its devotees had promised him that they had scientific answers to the mystery of nature, could disprove the Scriptures, and could explain the problem of evil. Augustine became a follower for nine years, learning all there was to learn in it before rejecting it as incoherent and fraudulent. He went to Rome and then Milan in 386 where he met Saint Ambrose, the bishop and Doctor of the Church, whose sermons inspired him to look for the truth he had always sought in the faith he had rejected. He received baptism and soon after, his mother, Saint Monica, died with the knowledge that all she had hoped for in this world had been fulfilled. He returned to Africa, to his hometown of Tagaste, "having now cast off from himself the cares of the world, he lived for God with those who accompanied him, in fasting, prayers, and good works, meditating on the law of the Lord by day and by night." On a visit to Hippo he was proclaimed priest and then bishop against his will. He later accepted it as the will of God and spent the rest of his life as the pastor of the North African town, where he spent much time refuting the writings of heretics. Augustine also wrote, The City of God, against the pagans who charged that the fall of the Roman Empire, which was taking place at the hands of the Vandals, was due to the spread of Christianity. On August 28, 430, as Hippo was under siege by the Vandals, Augustine died, at the age of 76. His legacy continues to deeply shape the face of the Church to this day. https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=390 https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-monica-572 https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-augustine-573
