2 CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF PAULINE CHARISM On 20 August 2014 the SOCIETY OF ST PAUL marks the centennial of its foundation, and together with the whole PAULINE FAMILY celebrates the 100 years of Pauline Charism, a gift of the Holy Spirit to the Church and the whole world at large. The Pauline Charism is imbedded in the organisation, spirituality, and apostolate of all the Pauline institutes. The founder, Blessed James Alberione, organised and established the Pauline Family consisting of the Society of St Paul, the Daughters of St Paul, the Pious Disciples of the Divine Master, the Sisters of Jesus Good Shepherd (Pastorelle), the Sisters of Mary Queen of the Apostles (Apostoline), the Aggregated Institutes (the Institute of Our Lady of the Annunciation, Institute of St Gabriel the Archangel, the Institute of Jesus the Priest, and the Institute of the Holy Family), and the Union of Pauline Cooperators. Together they share one Pauline Charism with different apostolic expressions. Evangelization is a shared task of the ordained priests, consecrated brothers/sisters, and all baptized Christians. The Pauline Family shares the same Pauline Spirituality of living integrally the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Way-Truth-Life. Jesus is at the center of every thought and action. The Gospel and the Eucharist constitute the reference point of the Pauline spiritual life and the fountainhead of his apostolic mission. We venerate Mary as Mother, Teacher and Queen of Apostles because she is the bearer of the whole Christ. Fr. Alberione admits that. Paul is to be considered the father, teacher, exemplar, protector, and the true founder of the Society of St. Paul. Hence, the Pauline Spirituality is characterized by a permanent manner of seeing, feeling, and willing, to the point of reproducing Jesus into one s life as summarized in the words of St Paul: it is no longer I who lives, but Christ lives in me (1 Cor. 2:20). Reflecting on the words of St. Paul to Timothy (2 Tim 1:6) to rekindle the gift of God that you have received, the Paulines of today feels impelled by the same apostolic urgency to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If Paul were alive today, he would use the most effective pulpits of modern technology (the press, film, radio, television, and all forms of media) to announce the doctrine of love and salvation found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As today s Pauls, we were born to give Jesus Master, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, as Fr. James Alberione used to say. The Paulines together with the whole Church feels the task of mobilizing the ecclesial community towards a new evangelization, to think and elaborate together new formulations to realize the mission to evangelize the men of today with the means of today. May everyone encounter Jesus, the Way-Truth-Life, as they read, reflect, and pray on the Gospel message filling the mind with truth, the will guided on the right way, and the heart with love so that all may one in Jesus Christ. Presently, the Society of St Paul in Australia still maintains its main Regional House in Strathfield NSW where it operates ST PAULS Publications and wholesale distribution of Bibles and biblical studies, liturgical materials, parish bulletins, religious books on theology, spirituality, Australian Church, ecumenism, prayer, devotions, Christian life, Catholic Church, Vatican documents and Papal encyclicals, catechetical and educational resources for schools and parishes, religious articles and statues, CDs and DVDs for adults, teenagers and children. St Pauls also operates three bookcentres in Church St, Parramatta NSW 2150; in 277 Elizabeth Street Brisbane QLD 4000; and in 502 Ruthven Street Toowoomba QLD 4350.

GOSPEL Mt 5:13-16 A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew. You are the light of the world. A SERVICE OF THE SOCIETY OF ST PAUL ST PAULS SUNDAY BULLETINS THE SAVING WORD & OUR SUNDAY CELEBRATION WHY USE A BULLETIN FOR WEEKEND MASSES? From the moment parishioners pick up a copy of the St Pauls Sunday bulletin (The Saving Word and/or Our Sunday Celebration) they can reflect on God s message before Mass begins. They can also refer to it again at home after Mass. The Saving Word bulletin is a support to full conscious and active participation in the Mass. Meeting the service needs of parishes around Australia, St Pauls Publications is now publishing The Saving Word in both A3 and A4 sizes in full colour; and Our Sunday Celebration in A3 also in full colour. Both bulletins will have the same content: An artistic drawing illustrating the Gospel Reading of the day First and Second Reading Responsorial Psalm Gospel Reading Reflection Jesus said to his disciples: You are the salt of the earth. But if salt becomes tasteless, what can make it salty again? It is good for nothing, and can only be thrown out to be trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill-top cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp to put it under a tub; they put it on the lamp-stand where it shines for everyone in the house. In the same way your light must shine in the sight of men, so that, seeing your good works, they may give the praise to your Father in heaven. The Gospel of the Lord.

Layout, commentaries and illustrations St Pauls Publications, No Website: IN GOD S IMAGE Psalm 111: 4-9 It is not immediately apparent if today s responsorial psalm is referring to God or a human being. Who is this light in the darkness for the upright who is generous, merciful and just? It becomes clear quickly enough that the psalmist is referring to a human being. The confusion comes from the fact that the words used to describe this person - generous, merciful and just - are the very words used to describe God in other parts of the Bible. (See, for instance, Exodus 34:6-7, and many of the psalms). The psalmist is reminding us of an important biblical truth: that we are created in the image of God (see Genesis 1:27). It is, in fact, through our actions that the generosity, mercy and justice of God are communicated to others. In particular this psalm praises the generous person, the one who gives to the poor with open hands and lends to those in need. When, with tight fists, we hang on to what we have, worried about what tomorrow might bring, we become sad. When, with open hands, we freely give to those in need, we are filled with joy. Trusting in the generosity of God, we do not live in fear of evil news. We experience the peace of mind and heart that comes from a clear conscience. When we generously share of our gifts with others our light shines for all to see. We reveal that we are created in the image of Christ who calls us the light of the world, the very phrase used in John s Gospel to describe Christ (John 1:9). Fr Michael Goonan SSP GOSPEL Mt 1:18 24 A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew Jesus was born of Mary, the betrothed of Joseph, a son of David. This is how Jesus Christ came to be born. His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph; but before they came to live together she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a man of honour and wanting to spare her publicity, decided to divorce her informally. He had made up his mind to do this when the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because she has conceived what is in her by the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son and you must name him Jesus, because he is the one who is to save his people from their sins. Now all this took place to fulfil the words spoken by the Lord through the prophet: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son and they will call him Emmanuel, a name which means God-is-with-us. When Joseph woke up he did what the angel of the Lord had told him to do: he took his wife to his home. The Gospel of the Lord. The Saving Word Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time / A 9 February 2014 FIRST READING Isa 58:7-10 A reading from the prophet Isaiah Your light will shine like the dawn. Thus says the Lord: Share your bread with the hungry, and shelter the homeless poor; clothe the man you see to be naked and turn not from your own kin. Then your light will shine like the dawn and your wound be quickly healed over. Your integrity will go before you and the glory of the Lord behind you. Cry, and the Lord will answer; call, and he will say, I am here. If you do away with the yoke, the clenched fist, the wicked word, if you give your bread to the hungry, and relief to the oppressed, your light will rise in the darkness, and your shadows become like noon. The word of the Lord. A SERVICE OF THE SOCIETY OF ST PAUL RESPONSORIAL PS Ps 111:4-9. R. v. 4 Reproduction of this bulletin in any form prohibited.

SECOND READING 1 Cor 2:1-5 A reading from the first letter of St Paul to the Corinthians I came to you to proclaim Christ crucified. SEEKING GOD Psalm 23:1-6 The author of today's responsorial psalm praises those who seek the face of God. On this earth we cannot see God's face as such but if we seek with pure hearts we will see the manifold signs of God's presence among us. We will recognise the presence of God in wondrous events, sometimes unexpected, like the birth of a child. This was the sign given to King Ahaz of Judah to assure him that God-is-with-us. The wonders of creation also point to the presence of the creator. As the first stanza of today's psalm notes, the earth and all its fullness, and the world and all its peoples, are the work of God's hand. As we reflect on the immense varieties of nature and of peoples, we touch something of the abundant creativity of God. Today's Gospel reminds us that dreams can also be moments when God touches our lives. Sometimes it is only when we are asleep, when all our defences are at rest, that God's light can break through to us. We are surrounded by the signs of God's presence. We will recognise them if we have clean hands and a pure heart, if we desire not worthless things. The pure of heart seek God alone; those with clean hands do not accept bribes but act with compassion and justice. Such a person was Joseph, the man of honour to whom Mary was betrothed. Today, we pray for clean hands and a pure heart that we, like Joseph, may recognise Emmanuel, God-with-us, in Mary's child. Fr Michael Goonan SSP When I came to you, brothers, it was not with any show of oratory or philosophy, but simply to tell you what God had guaranteed. During my stay with you, the only knowledge I claimed to have was about Jesus, and only about him as the crucified Christ. Far from relying on any power of my own, I came among you in great fear and trembling and in my speeches and the sermons that I gave, there were none of the arguments that belong to philosophy; only a demonstration of the power of the Spirit. And I did this so that your faith should not depend on human philosophy but on the power of God. The word of the Lord. The Saving Word Fourth Sunday in Advent / A 22 December 2013 FIRST READING Isa 7:10 14 The virgin will conceive. The Lord spoke to Ahaz and said, Ask the Lord your God for a sign for yourself coming either from the depths of Sheol or from the heights above. No, Ahaz answered I will not put the Lord to the test. Then Isaiah said: Listen now, House of David: are you not satisfied with trying the patience of men without trying the patience of God, too? The Lord himself, therefore, will give you a sign. It is this: the maiden is with child and will soon give birth to a son whom she will call Emmanuel, a name which means God-is-with-us. The word of the Lord. RESP PSALM Ps 23:1 6. R. cf. vv R. Let the Lord enter; he is king of glory. 1. The Lord s is the earth and its fullness, the world and all its peoples. It is he who set it on the seas; on the waters he made it firm. R. 2. Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord? Who shall stand in his holy place? The man with clean hands and pure heart, who desires not worthless things. R. 3. He shall receive blessings from the Lord and reward from the God who saves him. Such are the men who seek him, seek the face of the God of Jacob. R. SECOND READING Rom 1:1 7 A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Romans Jesus Christ, a descendant of David, is the Son of God. From Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus who has been called to be an apostle, and specially chosen to preach the Good News that God promised long ago through his prophets in the scriptures. This news is about the Son of God, who, according to the human nature he took, was a descendant of David: it is about Jesus Christ our Lord who, in the order of the spirit, the spirit of holiness that was in him, was proclaimed Son of God in all his power through his resurrection from the dead. Through him we received grace and our apostolic mission to preach the obedience of faith to all pagan nations in honour of his name. You are one of these nations, and by his call belong to Jesus Christ. To you all, then, who are God s beloved in Rome, called to be saints, may God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ send grace and peace. The word of the Lord. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Mt 1:23 Alleluia, alleluia! / The virgin will give birth to a son; / his name will be Emmanuel: Godis-with-us. / Alleluia!
