In this week’s issue:
Reflection on the Gospel
Staying with the important theme of prayer, this
week’s extract from Luke brings the teaching on
prayer that accompanied the giving of the Our
Father. In Luke, Jesus teaches this prayer
because the disciples have asked for his help.
The form of the prayer is the short one, as
opposed to the longer version in Matthew which
was adopted by the church as the version for use
in the liturgy. In its short form we see even more
clearly how this simple prayer has all that we
need. We praise God as Father, we
acknowledge that we want what he wants and
that we trust him to look after us. We also
recognise our need for forgiveness and our
willingness to forgive. Finally we ask that in the
life of faith we will not have to endure anything Incorporating the worshiping
community of St Patrick’s
that would cause us to lose that faith. In what
Fortitude Valley
follows, Jesus uses the images of the unwilling
friend and the caring parent to make us think
YEAR OF MERCY
about the relationship with God that should lie
24 JULY 2016
behind our prayer. God is the loving Father and 17TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY
TIME
in giving us the Holy Spirit he is holding back
nothing.
Most Rev Mark Coleridge
[Following from the above it is clear that]
“Today’s gospel is about prayer and in it Jesus
encourages his followers to persevere in prayer
and not to lose heart. The unanswered request
and the door that remains shut are not unusual
experiences for people who pray. Indeed we can
be left wondering why our prayers are not
answered. Is it because we lack faith or worse
still because of our sins? At such times we need
to remember that Christian prayer is not about
magic nor is it an elaborate heavenly lottery.
Being baptised means that we share in the dying
and rising of Christ, not just once but many times
on our way home to the Father. Prayer teaches
us about what is really important and, while it
does not always take away our pain, through it
we can come to understand a little better how
and where God is at work in our lives.

PROCESSIONAL HYMN
CWM RHONDDA
2. Open now the crystal fountain,
whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fiery cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through;
Strong Deliverer,
be thou still my Strength and Shield.
3. When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death, and hell’s Destruction,
land me safe on Canaan's side;
Songs of praises,
I will ever give to thee.
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, Hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry,
Poor banished children of Eve; To thee do we send up our sighs, Mourning and weeping in this valley
of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, Thine eyes of mercy toward us; And after this our exile,
Show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

POSTCOMMUNION HYMN
2. Sweet Sacrament of peace,
dear home of every heart,
where restless yearnings cease,
and sorrows all depart.
there in thine ear, all trustfully,
we tell our tale of misery,
sweet Sacrament of peace.
3. Sweet Sacrament of rest,
ark from the ocean's roar,
within thy shelter blest
soon may we reach the shore;
save us, for still the tempest raves,
save, lest we sink beneath the waves:
sweet Sacrament of rest.
4. Sweet Sacrament divine,
earth's light and jubilee,
in thy far depths doth shine
the Godhead's majesty;
sweet light, so shine on us, we pray
that earthly joys may fade away:
sweet Sacrament divine.
