From Fr. Bernie:
A farewell to our long-serving Parish Secretary
Pauline O’Donnell is being organized to take place on
Friday March 1st commencing at 6pm (at a venue TBD). It is important, indeed imperative, for catering purposes to
have an idea of how many intend to attend. Please RSVP before February 24 by phone or email to either Julie Kelly
on (0411 023 304 or 3633 0270; [email protected])
or Cath van Dongen on (0417 077 484 or 3267 1539; [email protected]).
The Word of God for Today: (Taken from Brisbane
Liturgy’s ‘Liturgia’)
Good news for Gentiles. This Sunday's gospel repeats
the last verse of last Sunday's gospel and then continues the episode. It is important to remember that in Luke's
gospel we are still reading about the first public preaching of Jesus. He began with a quote from Isaiah which
summarises his entire ministry. After an initial response of
enthusiasm the people quickly move to hostile rejection. This episode is reported by Mark and Matthew only much
later in the gospel and provides a context for such hostility. But in Luke this is his first public appearance. By Luke
including it in the very first episode of Jesus' public ministry
he is clearly indicating both the fickleness of the crowd that will dog Jesus' ministry and the rejection that will culminate
in his death. Jesus' prophetic words, 'no prophet is accepted in his own native place' (4:24) are tragically
fulfilled by the end of this passage when his townsfolk 'drove him out of the town'. (Note, too, how this episode
fulfils the prophecy of Simeon in 2:34 - 'this child is
destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted'.)
Why the hostility? The crowd was enthusiastic enough
when Jesus announced the 'gracious words' of liberty,
recovery, freedom, and a year of favour; they thought these blessings would be theirs, just as this prophet was
apparently one of their own. But Jesus, in claiming to be a prophet, refers to two episodes in which Elijah and Elisha
performed powerful deeds for the benefit of Gentiles. Readers of the gospel have been told of Jesus' mission of
universal salvation: Simeon prophesied that Jesus would be
'a light for revelation to the Gentiles' (2:32) and Luke had
quoted Isaiah 3:6 to describe John's ministry: 'all flesh shall see the salvation of God' (Luke 3:6). But this is the first
time anyone in Jesus' audience hears this word. The hometown crowd is angered to hear that Jesus will share
their blessings with Gentiles. Apparently, they took this
'good news' for others as bad news for themselves.
School’s In. It is always a joy to see and hear our parish students as they arrive at school for a
new year of growing in knowledge and love. On
behalf of the parish I offer a special welcome to all who are new. All our parish students have a
right to receive information and example that will lead them to the knowledge and love of God and of His Son Jesus
Christ. The parish wants to assist parents, ‘the first teachers of their children in the ways of the faith’, in the
handing on of faith. This takes place in our parish schools
of St. Joseph and St. Pius V and through the good work of the State School catechists and their helpers. I ask God’s
blessing on all in our parish who are involved in the ministry of Catholic Education.
A New Parish Secretary has been chosen and commenced work on Tuesday. On your behalf I welcome
Ms. Madonna Riggall to the position.
Plenary Council 2020. I have had a couple of offers from people who are interested in being part of a Writing
Group to prepare the submissions for the Plenary Council
Preparatory Committee. There is not long to go before final submissions are due on March 6th, Ash Wednesday. Anyone
interested in meeting to discuss the Plenary Council question “What do you think God is asking of us in Australia
at this time?” can attend sessions being held after the
6.30pm Mass in Holy Trinity church on Thursday February 7, 14 and 28.
Christmas Greetings were received from Fred and Olivia
Bartholomeusz, Sri Lanka. They are grateful for our financial support for their ministry.
A Centenary Project (Parish Centre) Control Group
Meeting is to be held at the Presbytery on Wednesday February 6th at 12 noon.
Thought for the Week

The Holy Father’s Intentions for February Universal: For a generous welcome of the victims of human
trafficking, of enforced prostitution, and of violence. The month of February is dedicated to the Holy
Family
Stewardship “Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, it is not pompous.” (1 Corinthians 13:4)
Do you get jealous? Do you focus more on the things that other people have than on the gifts that God has given to
you? Are you pompous? Do you acquire more possessions to impress others? At times we are all guilty of these things.
Pray for more humility. Pray to become less “self-centered” and become more “God-centered”.

Continued from Page 1 Lenten Program. Each year some find the weekly
meeting to pray, learn and discuss to be a helpful way to do something extra for Lent. The Lenten Program is prepared
by the archdiocese. This year the program is called
‘Compassion – Reflecting, Sharing and Living the Good News’. The Gospel Reflections have been written by
Fr John Chalmers whom many of you know. Fr John is Director of Mission and Formation, Centacare, Brisbane, and
has extensive experience in parish ministry, hospital chaplaincy, teaching and has given presentations across
Australia. The opening and closing prayers have been
written by Sophy Morley, Diocesan Coordinator for Liturgy, Diocese of Sale.
If you would like to be a participant please fill out the form
available at Mass today so that the ordering of the resource
can be made. The Program can be a private, family or group experience. Parish Group sessions will be held at
Nundah after the Friday 9am Mass and at Banyo on Wednesday after the Stations of the Cross. You might like
to form your own group. The Lenten Program will
commence in the week beginning March 3rd as each session is based on the Gospel reading for the Sundays of Lent.
Completed forms can be placed on the collection plates or into the Pastoral Council Suggestion Box.
Every Blessing,
Fr Bernie

SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE
ADULTS
As parish ministries, committees and support groups reconvene for the 2019 year, it is a good time to remind
conveners and volunteers of their responsibilities under the Archdiocesan Safeguarding Policy.
All volunteers must have completed:
Archdiocesan Volunteer Form and depending on your
volunteer role to also have completed
Archdiocesan Blue Card Application Form and/or a
Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check
If you have completed these forms in previous years the above documents will still be current for 2019. I would ask
that volunteers check the expiry date of their Blue Cards and submit new forms well before the expiry date.
Any new volunteers must complete these forms as per the
Archdiocesan policy. Further details can be obtained from the parish Safeguarding representative (Catherine Byrnes
3267 5222) or the Parish Office.
Thank you to everyone for your co-operation regarding this
important matter.

Safeguarding Policy
The Archdiocese of Brisbane holds that children, young people and vulnerable adults are a gift from God with an
intrinsic right to dignity of life, respect and security from physical and emotional harm.
They are to be treasured, nurtured and safeguarded by all.
This means that everyone in the church must ensure that the fundamental rights of children, young people and
vulnerable adults are respected. © Dianne Bergant CSA
Call to Discipleship
In the readings for this week we see the reaction of those who hear the word of God. Jeremiah was told that he had been called to be a prophet even before he was born. Yet he had to fight against the people to whom he was sent. Those who heard Jesus were first amazed at his words and then later sought to throw him off a cliff. We too are often quite resistant to the word of God.
Neither Jeremiah nor Jesus recoiled from the implications of their call, regardless of the resistance they experienced. Instead, they entered even more deeply into the call to love. Lest he brood over his injuries, Jeremiah is reassured of God’s protection. And, without aggressively demonstrating his strength when he was threatened with harm, Jesus exhibited patience and kindness. Both men bore and endured their bitter misfortunes. This is the image that is placed before us as an example for us to follow.
The call to discipleship is a call to live in the eschatological age of fulfilment inaugurated by Jesus. We can say with certainty that God calls us to a new way of living. We may chafe under the suffering that it could cause us, but we will not be left alone in our distress. As God was with Jeremiah so we can depend upon God to be with us in our need. We must remember that, however we do react, our response must be born out of love.
