THE FEAST OF ST DOMINIC FOUNDER OF THE DOMINICAN ORDER

Born at Calaruega (Spain) about 1170, Dominic was an Augustinian canon noted for prayer, penance, and an exemplary life. In a time of violent crusades he sought reconciliation through instruction and prayer.

He established the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) to revitalise the Church through study, teaching, preaching, and prayer. He is remembered as a preacher, organiser, and patron of learning. He died at Bologna (Italy) on 6 August 1221.

MORNING TEA To celebrate the feast of St Dominic, you are warmly invited to enjoy a delicious morning tea in the Rosary Centre after the 10am Mass

this weekend

EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

The story of the miraculous feeding of five thousand points us towards the Eucharist. In this story, Jesus points us towards the bread which is himself, the bread which is taken, blessed, broken and shared so that we might be always satisfied. In the Eucharist, we catch a glimpse of the Kingdom breaking in on our world, In the Kingdom, we have the bread which satisfies and the wine which quenches all our thirst. In the Kingdom, it is the ‘hand of the Lord which feeds us; it is the Lord who answers our every need.’

A READING FROM THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW

When Jesus received the news of John the Baptist’s death he withdrew by boat to a lonely place where they could be by themselves. But the people heard of this and, leaving the towns, went after him on foot. So as he stepped ashore he saw a large crowd; and he took pity on them and healed their sick. When evening came, the disciples went to him and said, ‘This is a lonely place, and the time has slipped by; so send the people away, and they can go to the villages to buy themselves some food.’ Jesus replied, ‘There is no need for them to go: give them something to eat yourselves.’ But they answered, ‘All we have with us is five loaves and two fish.’ ‘Bring them here to me,’ he said. He gave orders that the people were to sit down on the grass; then he took the five loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to heaven and said the blessing. And breaking the loaves he handed them to his disciples who gave them to the crowds. They all ate as much as they wanted, and they collected the scraps remaining, twelve baskets full. Those who ate numbered about five thousand men, to say nothing of women and children.

A READING FROM THE LETTER OF ST PAUL TO THE ROMANS

Nothing can come between us and the love of Christ, even if we are troubled or worried, or being persecuted, or lacking food or clothes, or being threatened or even attacked. These are the trials through which we triumph, by the power of him who loved us. For I am certain of this: neither death nor life, no angel, no prince, nothing that exists, nothing still to come, not any power, or height or depth, nor any created thing, can ever come between us and the love of God made visible in Christ Jesus our Lord.

A READING FROM THE PROPHET ISAIAH

Thus says the Lord: Oh, come to the water all you who are thirsty; though you have no money, come! Buy corn without money, and eat, and, at no cost, wine and milk. Why spend money on what is not bread, your wages on what fails to satisfy? Listen, listen to me and you will have good things to eat and rich food to enjoy. Pay attention, come to me; listen, and your soul will live. With you I will make an everlasting covenant out of the favours promised to David.
