WHY PLANTS DIE
There are scores of possible reasons which can account for the death
of an indoor plant. The eight commonest are:Soil Dryness - no life can survive without water.
Over-Watering -The commonest fatal factor, especially in Winter time.
Cold Nights - If the plant is in a heated room during the day.
Strong Sunshine - Pot and soil surface should he shaded in such a
situation.
Hot Dry Air. - House plants need less warm air and more moist air
than } ou think.
Draughts - When the temperature outside the room is lower than
within, then the cross-current of cool air is one of the main
causes of plant failure.
Gas - Gas and a number of other fumes can be toxic
No Light
Most plants will eventually die if kept continually in
deep shade.
COUNSELS OF PADRE PIO Contd.from earlier weeks
Pray, hope and d o n 11 worry, anxiety d o e s n ’
t help at all, Our
merciful Lord w 11 listen to your prayer. Always pray for the sick.
The best consolat on comes from prayer.
People are asking how we can learn more about Padre Pio. Born of
humble hard woiking farm people on 25th May in Pietnelina in Souther
Italy.At the age of fifteen he entered the Capuchin Friars and was
ordained on August 10th 1910. Eight years later the five^- wounds
became visable on his body, making him the first stigmatized priest
in the history of the church. Bearer of gifts of perfume, discernement of spirits, phophesy and healing the sick. He used his
great influence in the confession where he converted many a sinner.
He spent his whole life praying for souls the whole world over,
until his holy death on Sept. 23rd, 1968. He died with last words
on his lips - "Jesus and M a r y ”. His funeral was attended by almost
one hundred thousand people. Fourteen months after his death the
prelininary phase of the cause of beatification and canonization
was opened.

ENTRANCE ANTIPHON
(Jer29:11.12.14
The Lord says: my plans for you are peace
and not disaster; when you call to me, I will
listen to you, and I will bring you back to the
place from which I exiled you.
P r i e s t In the name of the Father and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
People:
Amen.
The grace and peace of God our Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
PENITENTIAL RITE
The priest addresses the people in these or similar
words.
As we prepare to celebrate the mystery of
Christ's love,
let us acknowledge our failures
and ask the Lord for pardon and strength.
A pause for silent reflection follows.
Lord Jesus, you came to gather the nations
into the peace of God's kingdom:
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
You come in word and sacrament to
strengthen us in holiness:
Christ, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
You will come in glory with salvation for your
people:
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
May almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us our sins,,
and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.
Glory to God in the highest,
and peace to his people on earth.
Lord God, heavenly King,
almighty God and Father,
we worship you, we give you thanks,
we praise you for your glory.
Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father,
Lord God, Lamb of God,
you take away the sin of the world:
have mercy on us;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father;
receive our prayer.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
OPENING PRAYER
Let us pray
(that God will help us to be faithful)
Father of all that Is good,
keep us faithful in serving you,
for to serve you is our lasting joy.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
FIRST READING
(3:19-20)
A reading from the prophet Malachi
Behold, the day comes, burning like an oven,
when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be
stubble; the day that comes shall burn them
up, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave
them neither root nor branch. But for you
who fear my name the sun of righteousness
shall rise, with healing in its wings.
This is the word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM
(Ps 97:5-9. R. v. 9)
R.The Lord comes to rule the peoples
with fairness.
I.Sing psalms to the Lord with the harp
with the sound of music.
With trumpets and the sound, of the horn
acclaim the King, the Lord. (R.)
2. Let the sea and all within it, thunder;
the world, and all its peoples.
Let the rivers clap their hands
and the hills ring out their joy
at the presence of the Lord. (R.)
3. For the Lord comes, comes to rule the
earth.
He will rule the world with justice
and the peoples with fairness. (R.)
SECOND READING
13:7-12)
A reading from the second letter of St Paul
to the Thessalonians
You yourselves know how you ought to
imitate us; we were not idle when we were
with you, we did not eat any one's bread
w ithout paying, but with toil and labour we
worked night and day, that we might not
burden any of you. It was not because we
have not that right, but to give you in our
conduct an example to imitate. For even
when we were with you, we gave you this
command: If any one will not work, let him
not eat. For we hear that some of you are
living in idleness, mere busybodies, not doing
any work.Now such persons we command
and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their
work in quietness and to earn their own living.
This is the word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
ACCLAMATION
(Rev 2:10)
Alleluia, alleluia!
Even if you have to die, says the Lord,
keep faithful, and Iwill give yoq_
the crown of life.
Alleluia!
GOSPEL
(21:5-19).
The Lord be with you. And also with you.
A reading from the holy Gospel
according to Luke.
Glory to you Lord.
As some spoke of the temple, how it was
adorned with noble stones and offerings,
Jesus said. As for these things which you
see, the days will come when there shall not
be left here one stone upon another that will
not be thrown down.' And they asked him,
Teacher, when will this be, and what will be
the sign when this is about tc take place?'
And he said, Take heed that you are no* :ed
astray; for many will come in my name.
? saying, "} am he!" an d.' The time is at hand1'
Do not go after them. And when you hear of
wars and tumults, do not be terrified: to r th»s
must first take place, but the end will not be at
once.'
Then he said ro them.. 'Nation will :ise
against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom; there will be great earthquakes, ar d
in various piaces tamings and pestilences;
and there will be term..1s and great signs
heaven. But before ai- this i.
will lav their
hands on'you and persecute you deihv.ing
you up to the synagogues and prisons, '-rid
you will be biought before kings end
governors for my name's sake. This will be a
. time for you to bear testimony. Settle it
therefore in your minds, not to medilate
beforehand how to answer; for I wiT give you
a mouth and wisdom, which none of you?
adversaries will be able to withstand or
contradict. You wir be delivered up even by
parents and brothers and kinsmen and
friends, and some of you they will put tc
death; you will be hated by all for my nanrlfe
sake. But not a hair of your head will perisri
By your endurance you will gain your lives '
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ
Let us proclaim the mystery of faith r
Lord by your cross and resurrection
you have set us free.
You are the Saviour of the world.
