From Fr. Bernie:
The Season of Lent. During Lent our Sunday Masses will
commence with the Entrance Hymn “Come Now, O Word of God” which is new to us but easy to learn. There will be no
Recessional Hymn or music; instead we will depart in
silence.
The Stations of the Cross during Lent will be held at Banyo 6pm commencing on this Wednesday March 13th; at
Nundah 6pm they commenced on Friday March 8th.
The Lenten Program sessions have commenced. There
are parish group sessions after the Wednesday morning Mass and evening Stations of the Cross at Banyo and after
the Friday morning Mass at Nundah.
The Word of God for Today: The temptations
Luke organises the temptations of Jesus to showcase some of the major themes. For Luke the ministry of Jesus fulfils
God's promises to Israel. Thus, Luke is very respectful of Jewish traditions, institutions, and Scriptures. For this
reason Luke places a special emphasis on the Temple, the visible sign of God's presence to the people. Luke begins
the gospel with Zechariah in the Temple (1:8ff); he ends it
with the disciples in the Temple praising God (24:52); the only episode from Jesus' youth, and the last story before his
appearance as an adult, takes place in the Temple (2:46-52). In this Sunday's episode Luke puts the temptation at
the Temple in the third and climactic position (Matthew
4:5-7 has it second). Here, at the Temple in Jerusalem, the devil tempts Jesus to have God preserve him from death.
Jesus' refusal to yield to this temptation foreshadows the time when Jesus comes again to Jerusalem to face his
death. Then, he will lay down his life rather than throw it
away.
Jesus responds to each of the three temptations of the devil using only words from Scripture - he speaks no words of his
own to the devil. Jesus quotes - and fulfils - Scripture. This highlights the centrality of God's word. It also attests to the
power of Scripture which can be used to resist the power of
the devil. Which brings us to the next point.
Before Jesus begins his ministry, he confronts the devil, the most powerful of his adversaries. This confrontation is
merely 'the first round', as it were. Every time Jesus
exorcises demons, heals the sick, and restores the handicapped, he is attacking and subduing the power of the
devil. The devil departs for a time, only to return when he induces Judas to betray Jesus (22:3); similarly, the
proceedings that lead to Jesus' death are the time for the power of darkness (22:53). These temptations are the first
salvo in a struggle that will last throughout the gospel.
They reveal Jesus as 'the Son of God' (4:3, 9) who
demonstrates sonship not in power but in fidelity. (Taken
from Brisbane Liturgy’s ‘Liturgia’)
Plenary Council 2020. Thanks to all who took part in the Plenary Council Preparatory Session which concluded on
Ash Wednesday – those who prepared submissions, those
who attended meetings and those who have been keeping the Council in their prayers. Submissions closed on
Wednesday March 6th and our parish submission has been received. Copies of the document sent are available at
Masses this Sunday. Below is the reply received from the Plenary Council Facilitation Team:
Dear Fr Bernie, Thank you to you and your parish community sincerely for your submission to the Plenary Council. We have received this and it will be included for analysis in coming months. It will help to shape the National themes for discernment, and then contribute to the Plenary Council agenda. God bless you, Kind regards, Facilitation Team Plenary Council 2020 World Youth Day summary from Joachim Thetadig
Proud to represent Australia and Samoa at WYD2019
Joachim shared that he was overcome by a feeling of
being able to openly worship.
He’s come back and is invigorated to “wake up” the
Parish to have more of an essence/energy both inside
and outside mass.
Goal as the Youth coordinator: empower our
youth and give them the invitation to release their energy openly in a more vibrant praise and worship.
Focus with the youth group: This year the Banyo-
Nundah youth group has an inward focus on
increasing the knowledge of what is happening in the
Mass; by helping members to better understand the Mass more fully and actively participate.
Joachim is open to ideas and suggestions from the
PPC members.
Joachim has reached out to the Missionaries of
Charity to see what outreach the youth group can be
involved with once a month.
Every Blessing,
Fr Bernie

The Holy Father’s Intentions for March Evangelization: That Christian communities, especially those who
are persecuted, feel that they are close to Christ
and have their rights respected. The month of March is dedicated to Saint Joseph.
Stewardship “I have now brought you the first fruits of the products of the soil which you, O Lord, have given to me.” (Deuteronomy 26:10) This line from the Old Testament offers two challenges.
First, do you give to God from your “first fruits”, the best that you have to offer, or do you give from what is leftover?
Second, do you recognize that everything you have has
been given to you by God? Ask God for a grateful and generous heart, every day, in all circumstances.
A Vocation View
A VOCATION VIEW: The world tempts us to grab all
we can. Even food becomes more when it is given
than when it is taken. Follow Jesus: be a giver. Be with me Lord when I am in trouble.

First Sunday of Lent 10
th March 2019
Thandolwayo, a 12-year-old girl in Zimbabwe, would walk seven kilometres each day to collect contaminated water for her family. She then went to school exhausted from hours fetching and carrying water. It looked like she would never realise her hope of finishing her education and becoming a nurse, until a Caritas Australia supported project created access to clean water helping Thandolwayo to stay at
school and achieve a future full of hope.
Please donate to Project Compassion 2019 to provide clean water and a future full of hope for vulnerable communities in Zimbabwe.
Lives change when we all give 100%. You can donate through Parish boxes and envelopes, by visiting www.caritas.org.au/projectcompassion or phoning 1800 024 413.
