FIRST READING Ezekiel 34: 11-12. 15-17 The Lord says this: I am going to look after my flock myself and keep all of it in view. As a shepherd keeps all his flock in view when he stands up in the middle of his scattered sheep, so shall I keep my sheep in view. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered during the mist and darkness. I myself will pasture my sheep, I myself will show them where to rest - it is the Lord who speaks. I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the wounded and make the weak strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a true shepherd to them. As for you, my sheep, the Lord says this: I will judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and he-goats. The Word of the Lord. RESPONSORIAL PSALM R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. 1. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. Fresh and green pastures where he gives me repose. R. 2. Near restful waters he leads me, to revive my drooping spirit. He guides me along the right path; he is true to his name. R. 3. You have prepared a banquet for me in the sight of my foes. My head you have anointed with oil; my cup is overflowing. R. 4. Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life. In the Lord's own house shall I dwell for ever and ever. R. SECOND READING Corinthians 15:20-26.28 Christ has been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. Death came through one man and in the same way the resurrection of the dead has come through one man. Just as all men die in Adam, so all men will be brought to life in Christ; but all of them in their proper order: Christ as the first-fruits and then, after the coming of Christ, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, having done away with every sovereignty, authority and power. For he must be king until he has put all his enemies under his feet and the last of the enemies to be destroyed is death. And when everything is subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subject in his turn to the One who subjected all things to him, so that God may be all in all. The Word of the Lord. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Alleluia, alleluia! Blessings on him who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessings on the coming kingdom of our father David! Alleluia! GOSPEL Matthew 25:31-46 Jesus said to his disciples: `When the Son of Man comes in his glory, escorted by all the angels, then he will take his seat on his throne of glory. All the nations will be assembled before him and he will separate men one from another as the shepherd separates sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left. Then the King will say to those on his right hand, "Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take for your heritage the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you made me welcome; naked and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to se me." Then the virtuous will say to him in reply. "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you; or thirsty and give you a drink? When did we see you a stranger and make you welcome, naked and clothe you; sick or in prison and go to see you?" And the King will answer, "I tell you solemnly, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me." Next he will say to those on his left hand, "Go away from me, with your curse upon you, to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you never gave me food; I was thirsty and you never gave me anything to drink; I was a stranger and you never made me welcome, naked and you never clothed me, sick and in prison and you never visited me." Then it will be their turn to ask, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty, a stranger or naked, sick or in prison, and did not come to your help?" Then he will answer, "I tell you solemnly, in so far as you neglected to do this to one of the least of these, you neglected to do it to me." And they will go away to eternal punishment, and the virtuous to eternal life.' The Gospel of the Lord.

VINNIES CHRISTMAS TREE - Christmas is approaching fast and we once again appeal for your help to bring joy and happiness to the needy in our area. You all would know how it works by now....simply take a star from the tree, purchase a gift, and then place it under the tree. Gifts should be left unwrapped and in a bag with the star to identify who you have bought it for. The Society has a duty of care that requires us to make sure gifts are safe and suitable for the people we give them to. Therefore we are obliged to unwrap presents if they are presented already wrapped, so we ask you to please help us out and leave them unwrapped and - however we will gladly receive wrapping paper or gift bags and ribbon so we can make your gift festive and special before it is given. The cut off date for placing gifts under the tree is the 10:00am Mass on Sunday 17th Dec. We are wrapping and delivering before Dec 24th. Christmas can be a stressful time especially for parents trying to make ends meet, so on behalf of those we assist, we thank you for your generous support. Enquiries to Pauline 0417 917 817 14. SHRINE TIME - Is on this Sunday November 26. There will be NO SHRINE TIME on Sunday December 24 and will resume in January 2018.
