GOSPEL: Luke 16:19-31
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke During your life good things came your way just as bad things came the way of Lazarus. Now he is being comforted while you
are in agony.
Jesus said to the Pharisees: 'There was a rich man who used to dress in purple and fine linen
and feast magnificently every day. And at his gate there lay a poor man called Lazarus, covered with
sores, who longed to fill himself with the scraps that fell from the rich man's table. Dogs even came and
licked his sores. Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to the bosom of Abraham.
The rich man also died and was buried.
'In his torment in Hades he looked up and saw Abraham a long way off with Lazarus in his
bosom. So he cried out, "Father Abraham, pity me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water
and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in these flames." "My son," Abraham replied "remember that
during your life good things came your way, just as bad things came the way of Lazarus. Now he is
being comforted here while you are in agony. But that is not all: between us and you a great gulf has
been fixed, to stop anyone, if he wanted to, crossing from our side to yours, and to stop any crossing
from your side to ours."
'The rich man replied, "Father, I beg you then to send Lazarus to my father's house, since I have
five brothers, to give them warning so that they do not come to this place of torment too." "They have
Moses and the prophets," said Abraham, "let them listen to them." "Ah, no, father Abraham," said the
rich man "but if someone comes to them from the dead, they will repent." Then Abraham said to him,
"If they will not listen either to Moses or to the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone
should rise from the dead."'
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Funeral Details
A long time parishioner, Mr John (Jack) Lopez passed away last week. His funeral will be held in
the Church on Monday 30/9/19 commencing at 10am.
Talk with your children about some of the things that they have that can be shared with
others. Ask your children to describe a time when they had to share something that they had. Ask
if this was easy or difficult and why. Talk about some of ways in which your family shares your
possessions. Read together today's Gospel, Luke 16:19-31. Consider together some reasons why the
rich man may not have shared his riches with the poor man, Lazarus. Identify some reasons why we
might share our possessions with others. Make a commitment as a family to do something this week in
which you will choose to share your possessions with someone in need.

New Child Protection Resources
The Safeguarding & Ministerial Integrity Office of the Sydney Archdiocese have developed two
new Safeguarding resources for children. The Caring Code Journey is an interactive resource that
mimics the snakes & ladders game aimed at children aged btn 5-12yrs. It allows them to engage in
discussions with others about positive & challenging behaviours. The Behavioural Code for Young
People provides young people aged btn 13-17yrs who participate in ministries, a list of expected
behaviours. It also provides open & transparent steps & actions that a Youth Leader would follow if
inappropriate behaviour is displayed in an effort to resolve the issue. Both these resources can be
found in the Church foyer. We as a Parish continue to support the efforts of the Safeguarding Office to
ensure that our Parish environment is safe for children and young people. For more information and to
access these resources online visit https://www.sydneycatholic.org/safeguarding-and-child-protection/
