St Macartan s Parish Prayer: Heavenly Father, Creator and giver of all good things, Pour down your Holy Spirit upon this parish of Saint Macartan and the community that worships here. Father, make us holy, inspire us to work together to spread your Gospel, strengthen our Faith and grant us the spirit of service, so that, with your grace and the help of our Lady Mary and St Macartan, we may glorify you and provide for the needs of our wider community. We ask You this through Christ our Lord. Amen First Reading Gen 14:18-20 A reading from the book of Genesis Melchizedek king of Salem brought bread and wine; he was a priest of God Most High. He pronounced this blessing: Blessed be Abraham by God Most High, creator of heaven and earth, and blessed be God Most High for handing over your enemies to you. And Abraham gave him a tithe of everything. The Word of the Lord Responsorial Psalm Ps 109:1-4. R. v.4 (R.) You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek. 1. The Lord s revelation to my Master: Sit on my right:i will put your foes beneath your feet. (R.) 2. The Lord will send from Zion your sceptre of power: rule in the midst of all your foes. (R.) 3. A prince from the day of your birth on the holy mountains; from the womb before the daybreak I begot you. (R.) 4. The Lord has sworn an oath he will not change. You are a priest for ever, a priest like Melchizedek of old. (R.) Second Reading 1 Cor 11:23-26 A reading from the first letter of St Paul to the Corinthians This is what I received from the Lord, and in turn passed on to you: that on the same night that he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread, and thanked God for it and broke it, and he
said, This is my body, which is for you; do this as a memorial of me. In the same way he took the cup after supper, and said, This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Whenever you drink it, do this as a memorial of me. Until the Lord comes, therefore, every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are proclaiming to his death. The Word of the Lord Gospel Acclamation Alleluia, alleluia! I am the living bread from heaven, says the Lord; whoever eats this bread will live for ever. Alleluia! Gospel Lk 9:11-17 A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke Jesus made the crowds welcome and talked to them about the kingdom of God; and he cured those who were in need of healing. It was late afternoon when the Twelve came to him and said, Send the people away, and they can go to the villages and farms round about to find lodging and food; for we are in a lonely place here. He replied, Give them something to eat yourselves. But they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we are to go ourselves and buy food for all these people. For there were about five thousand men. But he said to his disciples, Get them to sit down in parties of about fifty. They did so and made them all sit down. Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to heaven, and said the blessing over them; then he broke them and handed them to his disciples to distribute among the crowd. They all ate as much as they wanted, and when the scraps remaining were collected they filled twelve baskets. The Gospel of the Lord Communion Antiphon Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him, says the Lord. ST VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY WINTER APPEAL.

PARISH FOOTY TIPPING ROUND 9: Round 9 provided some upsets especially the defeat of Hawthorn by Sydney and the magnificent by Collingwood over Geelong. It certainly was Dangerfield for the Cats! There were lots of smiling faces at Mass. As a result of the upsets no one scored 9 but Bláthnaid scored a consecutive 8, well done! Chris Smyth has lead of 3. He is closely followed by Not Quite A Footy Genius, Kevin Groves, Adam Lane and Paul Stinnear/ Debbie McMahon scored an 8. History: The posting of scores from other grounds was first introduced at the East Melbourne Cricket Ground in 1909. This was Essendon's home ground until 1921 when the Railways wanted extra space for the extension to the Jolimont Railyards.
