Acknowledgement of Country.
We, the parishioners of the Banyo Nundah Catholic Parish, acknowledge the Turrbal people, the Traditional Custodians
who have walked upon and cared for this land for thousands of years. We acknowledge the continued deep
spiritual attachment and relationship of Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander Peoples to this country and commit ourselves to the ongoing journey of Reconciliation.
We pay our respects to any first nation peoples who are
present among us. “……MAY THEY ALL BE ONE” (John 17:20)
Plenary Council 2020 Prayer.
Come, Holy Spirit of Pentecost. Come, Holy Spirit of the great South Land. O God, bless
and unite all your people in Australia and guide us on the pilgrim way of the Plenary
Council. Give us the grace to see your face in one another and to recognise Jesus, our
companion on the road. Give us the
courage to tell our stories and to speak boldly of your truth. Give us ears to listen
humbly to each other and a discerning heart to hear what you are saying. Lead your Church into a hope-filled future, that we may live
the joy of the Gospel. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, bread for the journey from age to age. Amen. Our Lady Help of Christians, pray
for us. St Mary MacKillop, pray for us.
From Fr. Bernie:
The Word of God (Gospel) for Today:
In each year in our three-year lectionary cycle John the
Baptist appears on this Sunday in the gospel reading as the voice crying “Prepare a way for the Lord”. This
year we read more of John’s message than in the other
years, and it sounds severe, even frightening, as he talks of a coming retribution. Some people may
read today’s passage (Matt 3:1-12) as supporting that penitential, quasi-Lenten view of Advent to which I objected
last Sunday. Those thoroughly familiar with the book of Isaiah, as first century Christians were, should recognize
that the quote “A voice cries…” (Isaiah 40:3) that is used in
all four gospels belongs to a passage joyfully proclaiming to the Babylonian exiles the imminence of God’s
saving intervention – it does not announce a damning retribution. The lectionary itself reminds us of this context
as each year the first reading chosen to accompany this
account of John the Baptist is a passage of hopeful expectation, from Isaiah in years A and B,
and from Baruch in year C. The Lectionary devisers chose not to use the close parallel in Malachi (3:1) that heads a
negative message. (From Liturgia by Rev Dr Barry Craig)
May Advent be a time of joyful hope as we prepare for
Christmas.
School Holidays. Most of our parish students have commenced the summer holidays. As always my usual wish
for all our students is that, during the break, they be happy, healthy and holy in themselves and bring happiness to
others.
Christmas 2019. The Mass and Sacrament of Penance
times are published for your information and for sharing with fellow parish Catholics especially those who have lost
contact with the Church. At Christmas time the grace of belonging is in focus. We believe that by becoming one of
us God revealed His desire to belong to us so that we might
belong to God and to one another.
Every Advent Blessing,
Fr. Bernie.
Our Mission is to be a united, sharing and inclusive Catholic Parish.
Our aim is to be open, welcoming and responsive
to the diverse needs within our parish and the community.

The Holy Father’s Intentions for December Universal:
That every country determine to take the necessary measures to make the future of the
very young, especially those who suffer, a priority.
The month of December is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Stewardship “Therefore, every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” MATTHEW 3:10 Do you bear good fruit for Christ? Or, do you spend your time, talent and treasure constantly acquiring more toys,
clutter and junk. Our time, our talent and our treasure are gifts that God has given us. What we do with them is our
gift back to God. What gifts are you planning to give to the
Lord during this upcoming Christmas season?
A Vocation View
A VOCATION VIEW: Isaiah says: "The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord." Who
taught you knowledge of the Lord, and who are you teaching today?

altar. Your generous contributions will assist us in
delivering approximately 50 to 55 hampers across the area. Cash donations which can be placed in the box near the
