The Word of God for Today:

In the conclusion of his gospel Luke recaps some of his favourite themes. Luke had begun by calling his gospel 'a

narrative of the events that have been fulfilled among us' (1:1); he concludes by having Jesus indicate that his

suffering, death, and resurrection have fulfilled God's plan,

as 'it is written'. The fulfilment of past promises proves the reliability of his predictions for the future, namely, the

preaching of the gospel to all nations and the coming of the Holy Spirit.

Similarly, the ministry of John the Baptist began with his

'proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins' (Luke 3:3). Jesus continued this theme of John's

preaching ('I have not come to call the righteous to

repentance but sinners' 5:32) and now he sends his disciples to preach 'repentance for the forgiveness of

sins' (24:47).

The disciples' mission will proceed orderly: it will begin in Jerusalem and extend to all nations. This reflects Luke's

assurance that the promises of God to the Jews have not

been abandoned but fulfilled; and once fulfilled, the good news of salvation can reach out to others as well. (Taken

from Liturgia)

Offertory Giving. Your financial support of priest and parish is very important and appreciated. All who receive

an income are welcome to participate. If you would like to be one of this parish’s Planned Givers please contact the

parish office or mention it to me. Planned giving can be

done by using envelopes or by Direct Debit or Credit Card. Forms are available at our parish churches.

The Parish Feastival is not far away. The week, including

the solemnities of Holy Trinity and Corpus Christi (June 16—23), is set aside to celebrate the many facets of parish life,

in particular our multi-cultural identity. We begin and end

the octave with an acknowledgement of the multi-cultural nature of our parish congregations at Holy Trinity, Banyo

and Corpus Christi, Nundah. The acknowledgement takes the form of a Procession of the Nations at the beginning of

the 7.30 am Mass at Holy Trinity church on Holy Trinity Sunday (June 16) and at the beginning of the 9.30 am Mass

at Corpus Christi church on Corpus Christi Sunday (June

23). If you would like to take part in either or both of the processions would you put your name and country of origin

on the form at our churches so that an image of your flag can be prepared for the processions.

A Parish Leadership Development Day is to be held on

June 8th with the focus on the ‘Plenary Council – Themes

emerging from the Listening and Dialogue Encounters’. The day commences at 9am with a presentation from Lana

Turvey-Collins, the Plenary Council 2020 Facilitator;

Archbishop Mark Coleridge will also speak. The day finishes

at 3pm. The venue is The O’Shea Centre, Wilston – to register go to https://ebab.weebly.com/. This would be an

excellent way to follow up on the work many did in preparing the submissions that were submitted before Ash

Wednesday. It would be an excellent way for lay Catholics

to be part of shaping the future of our Australian Catholic Church.

RCIA Do you know someone who might be interested in

becoming a Catholic? There is an Information Night planned for Tuesday June 4 in Holy Trinity Church, Banyo

commencing at 7.00 pm.

Anglicans and Roman Catholics from Brisbane and Toowoomba gathered on Wednesday evening in St. John’s

Anglican Cathedral to celebrate a Service to Re-affirm our

ongoing commitment to the Tri-Diocesan Covenant of Understanding signed 10 years ago. “Rejoicing in the Holy

Spirit….” The signatories to the covenant 10 years ago were The Most Reverends Phillip Aspinall (Anglican), John

Bathersby (Brisbane), and William Morris (Toowoomba).

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity June 2-9. Find a

Christian friend and invite him or her to pray with you the Our Father.

Ordinations. Congratulations to Revs. Josh Whitehead

and Brendan Gormley who celebrated their presbyteral ordinations in the Cathedral of St. Stephen on Friday night.

Australian Catholic Bishops’ Conference News

Professional Standards and Safeguarding.

The Conference devoted a number of sessions of the Plenary Meeting to the issues of professional standards and

safeguarding. The Conference considered and approved the National Catholic Safeguarding Standards, which have

been developed by Catholic Professional Standards Ltd

(CPSL) in line with the Child Safe Standards recommended by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to

Child Sexual Abuse. It was noted that CPSL is due to conduct audits of a number of dioceses, in relation to those

Standards, in the coming months.

Plenary Council. The Bishops received an update on the

completion of the Listening and Dialogue phase of the Plenary Council, during which 17,457 submissions were

received on behalf of more than 222,000 people. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the submissions will

help inform the development of National Themes for

Discernment, to be announced at Pentecost (June 9). Every Easter Blessing,

Fr Bernie

The Holy Father’s Intentions for June Evangelization:

That priests, through the modesty and humility of their lives, commit themselves actively to a

solidarity with those who are most poor.

The month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of

Jesus.

Stewardship “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” (Revelations 22:13) This is a reminder of how we should live our lives 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – putting God first in all that we do. Not

only when I am at Mass and parish activities, but when I am in the world, at work or at school. Living gratefully and

generously is a lifestyle; it should influence how I make all

my daily decisions.

A Vocation View

A VOCATION VIEW: Our Spiritual Life is a

Journey - following the Call of the Master to "Go and teach all people my Gospel." Say "Yes" over

and over again.
