First Reading Jer 20:10-13
A reading from the prophet Jeremiah
Jeremiah said:
‘I hear so many disparaging me,
“Terror from every side!
Denounce him! Let us denounce him!”
All those who used to be my friends
watched for my downfall,
“Perhaps he will be seduced into error.
Then we will master him
and take our revenge!”
But the Lord is at my side, a mighty hero;
my opponents will stumble, mastered,
confounded by their failure;
everlasting, unforgettable disgrace will be theirs.
But you, Lord of Hosts, you who probe with justice,
who scrutinise the loins and heart,
let me see the vengeance you will take on them,
for I have committed my cause to you.
Sing to the Lord,
praise the Lord,
for he has delivered the soul of the needy
from the hands of evil men.’
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm Ps 68:8-10. 14. 17. 33-35.
(R.) Lord, in your great love, answer me.
It is for you that I suffer taunts,
that shame covers my face,
that I have become a stranger to my brothers,
an alien to my own mother's sons.
I burn with zeal for your house
and taunts against you fall on me. (R.)
This is my prayer to you,
my prayer for your favour.
In your great love, answer me, O God,
with your help that never fails:
Lord, answer, for your love is kind;
in your compassion, turn towards me. (R.)
The poor when they see it will be glad
and God-seeking hearts will revive;
for the Lord listens to the needy
and does not spurn his servants in their chains.
Let the heavens and the earth give him praise,
the sea and all its living creatures. (R.)
Second Reading Rom 5:12-15
A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Romans
Sin entered the world through one man, and through sin
death, and thus death has spread through the whole
human race because everyone has sinned. Sin existed in
the world long before the Law was given. There was no
law and so no one could be accused of the sin of
‘law-breaking’, yet death reigned over all from Adam to
Moses, even though their sin, unlike that of Adam, was
not a matter of breaking a law.
Adam prefigured the One to come, but the gift itself
considerably outweighed the fall. If it is certain that
through one man’s fall so many died, it is even more
certain that divine grace, coming through the one man,
Jesus Christ, came to so many as an abundant free gift.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation
Alleluia, alleluia!
The Spirit of Truth will bear witness to me, says the
Lord,
and you also will be my witnesses .
Alleluia!
Gospel Mt 10:26-33
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew
Jesus instructed the Twelve as follows: ‘Do not be
afraid. For everything that is now covered will be
uncovered, and everything now hidden will be made
clear. What I say to you in the dark, tell in the daylight;
what you hear in whispers, proclaim from the
house-tops.
‘Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot
kill the soul; fear him rather who can destroy both body
and soul in hell. Can you not buy two sparrows for a
penny? And yet not one falls to the ground without
your Father knowing. Why, every hair on your head
has been counted. So there is no need to be afraid; you
are worth more than hundreds of sparrows.
‘So if anyone declares himself for me in the presence of
men, I will declare myself for him in the presence of my
Father in heaven. But the one who disowns me in the
presence of men, I will disown in the presence of my
Father in heaven.’
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.
Last weekend we celebrated the Feast of ‘Corpus Christi’, giving thanks to God for the great and wondrous gift he
has given us in Jesus His Son, who comes to share his Life and Love with us in the Mass, every Sunday being a
celebration of the Feast of ‘Corpus Christi’.
In our Parish Masses this weekend, we welcome the children who, along with their parents and families to support
them, come to present their Enrolment Form and share with us their desire to make their First Holy Communion.
In our welcoming, rejoicing and praying for them this weekend and in the weeks ahead, it is important for them,
and for ALL of us, to realize that as Catholics we are obliged to attend, participate and celebrate Mass every week-
end – Mass for Catholics is an obligation not an optional extra!
Here, gathered around the altar of the Lord, we are nourished and we are strengthened in faith and in life, so that
‘unafraid’ we can live our faith lives fully, knowing that God is in us and God is with us.

Euthanasia & Physician Assisted Suicide
– Why are we concerned? The refusal of overly burdensome or futile treatment is not euthanasia Every person has the right to refuse overly burdensome or futile treatment which does not correspond or is disproportionate to their needs. This is good medical care, not euthanasia and has always been part of Catholic moral teaching and health care. To find out more about the issue, contact the Life, Marriage & Family Office on 9287 5587 / [email protected] or visit: www.cam.org.au/euthanasia
