MASS TIMES

Anointing of the Sick

This year we will have the Sacrament,

Anointing of the Sick at John XXIII at 11am

and Holy Trinity at 7pm, on Wednesday 11th February.

Parishioners, 65 years and upwards would be prime candidates but

obviously younger people who may have health issues, be they

physical, emotional etc., may like to present themselves also.

So if you are younger and there is nothing really of concern,

you don’t need to receive the Sacrament of Anointing at present.

SHARING THE TRADITION

There are many different ways for Christians to pray: private meditation or contemplative prayer, the repeated mantras of Taize-style prayer, prayer through song, praying the Scriptures, the rosary, and the liturgy as the

formal public prayer of the church. There are prayers of blessing and

adoration, prayers of petition or intercession, prayers of thanksgiving and prayers of praise. The faithful can pray to the Father, the Son, the Spirit or to

Mary or particular saints as intercessors.

about the Lenten Program on 8264 7590.

THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK

The Little Back Books for the season of Lent are once more available in the foyer before and after Mass. Also available at the Parish Office, they make a wonderful companion as we journey through the Lenten season. One page gives us a variety of quotes, information and timely thoughts, the other page walks us through Luke's passion narrative, a few verses at a time, with explanations and

reflections along the way. Six minutes is all we need in reading and meditation, spending a little time with the Lord.

At only $4-00 a great investment.

Masses resume at Holy Trinity on

Wednesday nights at 7pm from

CHUCKLE CORNER

MODERN GROCERY MARKETING

A new supermarket opened near my house. It has an automatic water mister to keep

produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the

smell of fresh rain.

When you pass the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and you experience the scent

of fresh mown hay.

In the meat department there is the aroma of charcoal grilled steaks with onions.

When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle, and the air is filled

with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.

The bread department

features the tantalising smell of fresh baked bread and

cookies.

I don’t buy toilet paper there anymore.
