Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi(The year of St. Francis)

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we a

Lord Jesus Christ, The Holy Land is once again struck by vio- lence, hatred, and death. Lord, look with mercy upon the land that was your earthly home. Receive the diseased into your presence.

REFLECTIONS
Today, our Gospel invites us to reflect on the generosity of God. The landowner represents the loving heart of God towards each one of us. There are two things in particular that might catch our attention in this passage. Firstly, God wants everyone to work in his vineyard. Secondly, in the end, each will receive the same reward. Perhaps, like some of the workers in the parable, we may feel that the landowner is being unjust: How is it that the last receive the same pay as th

Please Observe Silence
Respecful Preparation: Arriving early and remaining quiet before the mass starts allows everyone to transit from the noise of daily life into an encounter with God. Shared silence unites the congregation in a collective pause, preventing the church from becoming a social hall or distracting environment. Let us observe silence and spend time in prayer preparation as we celebrate the Holy Mass.

Grounded in our faith, we are committed to safeguarding everyone involved in our activities, ministries and services, and to upholding the highest moral, legal and ethical standard in creating a community where harm is neither ignored nor tolerated ~ The Most Reverend George Kolodziej SDS DD~Bishop of Bunbury
SAFEGUARDING PRAYER
Gracious God Help us to learn from Jesus. How to love, nurture and keep our children and vulnerable adults safe in a welcoming and empowering environment. Help us to seek healing for those who have been harmed and pray for justice for all. Keep us active in your service to safeguard our children and vulnerable brothers and sisters in communities that are connected in faith. St Joseph, Protector of the Church, Pray for us Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us Amen
