Heartbeats from your priest Fr Eduardo
Heartbeats: It’s the 1st day of Spring this Sunday. Wow! Another beautiful season ahead of us. Well, winter was-n’t that ‘icy’ and cold, but spring could be better. Let us be grateful in Australia that we have this four season, although some parts of the seasons like summer and winter seem “un-likable” but there’s something great in it. Aside from being grateful let us be humble before God Almighty for giving us everything, including very hot and very cold days and nights.
The WORD of GOD: We reflect on the virtue of HUMILITY in this Sunday’s readings. It's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way' is the antithesis of this Sun-day's readings. While the modern world seems to be about achieving that perfect ca-reer or life by 'building your own brand' or 'being a social media influencer', Jesus sees it differently. For him, it is better to seat yourself at the lower table and be brought up, than to seat yourself at the top table and risk being demoted. This advice illustrates the revolutionary ethics of the reign of God. Today’s readings are a mixture of exhorta-tions to be gentle and humble in our own lives, and to give practical hospitality to the poor. The 1st Reading gives advice on humility in our behaviour and warns against pride. A wise person is attentive to God and gentle in all aspects of our dealings with others. The Psalm is a song of praise to the God who, in turn, is attentive to the or-phan and widow, the poor and the lonely. The psalmist rejoices in the generous God who gives us new life. The 2nd Reading, from Hebrews, is full of awe at the revelation of God’s power. We have been given Jesus as our mediator, and our home is the heavenly Jerusalem. Jesus’s teaching in the Gospel is in the setting of a meal. His parable touches into our feelings of pride or shame and instructs us to be humble. Invitations to his banquet show a definite preference for the poor and lowly.
CHALLENGE 1: This week may we follow Jesus, who is ‘gentle and humble of heart’, in all that we say and do. Let us practice HUMILITY without grumbling, even when you were slighted or forgotten or unappreciated. AMEN! CHALLENGE 2: We are getting there towards our PARISH PROJECT 2019 - Raise funds for our church pews. So far we have raised about $8,500 . God bless you more! Donate ONLINE (check our parish website) or by cash / cheque or EFT to St Joachim Catholic Parish BSB 062-784 Account # 3505001. Sponsor a pew or 2 or 3 ( ca. $500. 00 each). Thank you so much for helping your church.

Volunteer Overseas - The Cagliero Project, Salesians of Don Bosco
The Cagliero Project is an initiative of the Australia-Pacific Province of the Salesians of Don Bosco, providing overseas volunteer experiences for Aus-tralians who wish to work with disadvantaged young people. We are seeking enthusiastic volun-teers for January 2020 departure. Our volunteers placements run for 6-12 months and are cen-tered around working with young people in educa-tional settings. We have multiple volunteers oppor-tunities throughout Cambodia, Samoa, Timor Leste and the Solomon Islands. We aim to utilise the skills and talents of our volunteers in order to provide the best possible contribution to the host community. Our aim is not to ‘help’ but to walk in solidarity with young people and for volunteer and host to have a mutual learning experience. We are also present in host communities to be role mod-els - people that young people can aspire to be. Cagliero volunteers commit themselves to working in the ‘Salesian way’. This means that young peo-ple are the central focus in all work. The Salesian way also means approaching life in a joyful way with a loving heart. The experience as a Cagliero volunteer is not about the volunteer, but is focused on the people we go to serve. However, serving as a Cagliero volunteer will probably be the most rewarding thing you ever do! Applications close October 15th. Send us an inquiry - www.cagliero.org.au
Discovering Global Mission
How can our skills create better opportunities for disadvantaged people? Communities in Timor Leste, PNG, Samoa, Kiribati and Kenya seek volunteers to buil local capacity. These assign-ments are not quick fixes.

Qualified medIcs, teachers, tradies, business and admins are always required.
