May they rest in peace. DIOCESAN PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS “We know, brothers, that God loves you and that you have been chosen.” Companies use lots of different selection techniques in order to recruit personnel. These may range from the traditional interview right through to a full-blown assessment centre. In this process employers want to choose the right people for their business venture. From a Christian point of view, we must always remember that we have been chosen not because of any skills or good interview techniques that we might have mastered. We have been chosen simply because we were in the mind of God from before all time. With that loving message being constantly reinforced, we can move forward in hope to discern how we can explicitly live this out through our vocation. WEEKLY REFLECTION from our young people on the Eucharist. How beautiful, yet humbling that Jesus not only made himself vulnerable while he lived on earth, but continues to do so every single day on that altar. How can we ever truly repay that sacrifice? Truth is we can't, we can only love Him present in the Eucharist with every breath we take during the Mass. This is my favourite moment of each week, those precious minutes when Jesus is so physically close to my heart I feel it leap within my chest. WEEKLY GUIDE TO PRAYER On this Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time, we see Matthew's Gospel tell us of the Pharisee plot to set a trap for Jesus. This time they use politics to see if he will offend either Rome or the people. Should they pay Rome's census tax? Jesus pushes the challenge back to them, “Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” What is it they must repay to God that is God's? Their trust in Jesus — God's gift to them. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians speaks about God's mercy and grace, calling us to be “Members of the Household of God” and saying that as a community “We are being built together into a Dwelling Place” of the Spirit. Paul, who was probably a prisoner at the time he wrote this letter, urges us to live “in a manner worthy of the call you have received” and calling us to patience and humility. This week in Luke's Gospel, we hear Jesus giving us his challenging message: “Be prepared for the coming of the Kingdom, be unencumbered enough to follow me freely.” Jesus tells us to “be like servants who await their master’s return from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks.” Our faith and calling as Christians mean we are called to go beyond what our world and culture requires: “Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.” LITURGY OF THE WORD First Reading Responsorial Psalm Second Reading Gospel Acclamation Gospel A reading from the prophet Isaiah 45:1,4-6 I have taken Cyrus by his right hand to subdue nations before him. Ps 95 Give the Lord glory and power. A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Thessalonians 1:1-5 We constantly remember your faith, your love and your hope. Alleluia, alleluia! Your word is truth, O Lord, consecrate us in the truth. Alleluia! A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 22:15-21 Give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar - and to God what belongs to God.
