1ST READING: Jb 7:1-4. 6-7

RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Praise the Lord who heals the broken-

hearted.

Praise the Lord for he is good;

sing to our God for he is loving: to him our praise is due.

The Lord builds up Jerusalem and brings back Israel’s exiles, he heals the broken-hearted, he binds up all their wounds. He fixes the number of the stars;

he calls each one by its name.

Our Lord is great and almighty; his wisdom can never be measured. The Lord raises the lowly;

he humbles the wicked to the dust

Praise the Lord who heals the broken-hearted.

2ND READING: 1 Cor 9:16-19. 22-23

ACCLAMATION:

Alleluia, alleluia! He bore our sickness, and endured our suffering.

Alleluia!

Acknowledgment of Country: As we gather as a community, we think of the traditional custodians of this land, the Pangerang People of the Yorta Yorta Nation. We would also like to pay respect to elders past and present. As it was along the banks of the Ovens and King Rivers that Pangerang People lived harmoniously for

thousands of years. We continue to walk towards Reconciliation and recognise the continuing connection to Country of the Aboriginal people.

Humour

A farmer named Muldoon lived

alone in the countryside with a wee

dog that he loved and doted on.

After many long years of faithful

companionship, the dog finally died,

so Muldoon went to the parish

priest:

"Father, my dear old dog is dead.

Could you be saying a Mass for

him?"

Father Patrick replied, "I am so very

sorry to hear about your dog's death.

But, unfortunately, I can't say Mass

for the poor creature..."

Muldoon said, "I understand,

Father, I do. I guess I'll go to this

new denomination down the road;

no tellin' what they believe... Do you

think $500 is enough to donate for

the service?" Father Patrick: "Why didn't you tell

me your wee dog was Catholic?!"
