World Day of Prayer Reflection and Action Against
Human Trafficking - 8th February
February 8 is the feast day of St. Josephine Bakhita, who was
kidnapped as a child
and sold into slavery in Sudan and Italy. Once Josephine was
freed, she dedicated
her life to sharing her testament of deliverance from slavery
and comforting the
poor and suffering.
The idea for this day came after Pope Francis entrusted two
Vatican academies to
study the problem of human trafficking, and a group of women
religious asked the
pope to raise greater awareness in the church about the issue by
establishing a
worldwide day of prayer and fasting.
Religious Congregations in Australia were inspired by a 2001
call to action from
800 Leaders of Catholic Women Religious meeting in Rometo work
in solidarity with one another within our own religious communities
and
in the countries in which we are located
to address insistently at every level the abuse and sexual
exploitation of women
and children with particular attention to the trafficking of
women which has be-
come a lucrative multi-national business
In his World Day of Peace Message on 1st January 2015, No Longer
Slaves, butBrothers and Sisters, Pope Francis invited us to
practice acts of fraternity towardsthose kept in a state of
enslavement. Let us ask ourselves, as individuals and
ascommunities, whether we feel challenged when, in our daily lives,
we meet or deal
with persons who could be victims of human trafficking,or when
we are tempted to select items which may wellhave been produced by
exploiting others. For the fullstatement by Pope Francis go to

PRAY for victims of trafficking and for an end to this

PARISH EVENTS
St Marys Celtfest 2015 During the consultation period of the
Pastoral
Plan, some parishioners expressed a wish to revive the Parish
Festival. We
investigated the possibility but due to the challenge to parish
human re-
sources and the modern-day regulatory environment, we decided to
re-invent it as
CELTFEST. Itwill be celebratedon Friday 20th March with a Dinner
Dance at St Marys
Hall from 6:30pm with a 3-course meal by Miillers Catering and
music by the K-Dels$40
p/h-Tickets available at Parish Office. Then, a Market Day will
be held on Saturday 21st March
in the Church grounds with stalls, entertainment, food and
drinks from 10am to 3pm. The Par-
ish will man food and drink stalls and private stall-holders
will be invited (as at Jumpers &
Jazz & Rodeo time). However, we still need volunteers to set
up the hall and man the Bar-
becue & Drinks stalls. We invite you to be a part of this
community-building event.All
community members are welcome and are requested to dress
appropriately to the theme.
Don your orange and green, and come and be seen at Celtfest

REFLECTION
In touching Simons mother-in-law and then allowingher to serve
him, Jesus is breaking down traditionalbarriers. He brings
wholeness and holiness to her byhis presence. The Kingdom of God
cannot tolerateprejudice and taboo, just as sickness and evil have
noplace in the Kingdom.
This text shows us a typical day for Jesus-the first ofhis
ministry. He listens to the Word of God, then wor-ships with his
community; he relaxes in the home of afriend; he pursues his work
of healing and preachingand, before dawn, he withdraws alone to
develop hisrelationship with the Father through prayer. There is
awonderful pattern of balance here between prayer,work and
rest.When the disciples find him, they want him to returnto
Capernaum to the acclaim he is receiving. Instead,Jesus insists
that the boundaries of the Kingdom bepushed out. The Kingdom of God
must reach furtherand further. It is for this that he came!
First Reading
Job7:1-4, 6-7
I am filled with sorrow all day long..
Responsorial PsalmPsalm 146:1-6. R. v.3
Praise the Lord who heals the broken-hearted.
Second ReadingCorinthians 9:16-19, 22-23
Punishment will come to me if I do not preach theGospel.
Gospel AcclamationMatthew 8:17
He bore our sickness, and endure our suffering.
GospelMark 1:29-39
He cured many who suffered from diseases of one
kind or another.

Prayer For Rain
Almight and everlasting God, you have given us this
earh to care for and delight in. Look with
mercy on our need for rain for our parched land. We
pray that life-giving rain will soon fall. We pray for those
suffering fom the severit of this droughtpeople
working on the land, and those in business who depend
on faring and gazing for their livelihoods. Father,
help them to know your love and care, and to bring their
burdens to you.
Guide all those who are seeking to provide help and
bring healing in the midst of so much pain. We ask
these things through Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
