CHURCH REPAIR UPDATE: Dear Parishioners, now our Church roof repair work is commenced. The job was recommended by Parish Council and approved by Parish Finance committee
and our Archdiocese. The details of the job are displayed still in the church foyer. Ampezzo constructions have commenced the repair work. All works will take place in the roof; doesn’t affect the church inside. As displayed in the church foyer, the repair cost is $80,000.00 dollars. It may be more. I like to appeal to our community to support this big repair cost. The reality is that many (at least 40) parishioners have moved out of our parish due to age, sickness and other family circumstances. So our parish 2nd collection is dropped from $1,500 to $1,100 dollars per week. If you are regular to OLMC, you are the supporter. You are our strength. In what way you can

help? If every person / family donates $50 or 100 dollars that will cover the cost. Any donation is welcome. A few parishioners have promised that they will give donation. Please join the planned giving programme and contribute $5 or $10 dollars a week that will help. There will be fundraising events soon such as dinner and dance in our school hall. Please support the event… Fr Paul.
POPE FRANCIS: MERCY IS THE TRUE FACE OF LOVE. Angelus on 14 July 2019, St Peter’s Square, Vatican City. Pope Francis on Sunday upheld the example of the Good Samaritan as a model for Christians,
explaining that only by loving our neighbours as ourselves, do we show love for God, and at the same time express true religiosity and humanity. Addressing the pilgrims gathered in St Peter’s Square for the Sunday Angelus, the Pope reflected on the Gospel reading of the day which recounts the parable of the Good Samaritan, a parable the Pope described as a treasure. “Mercy towards a human life in a state of need is the true face of love” Pope Francis said, explaining that it is by loving the other that one becomes a true disciple of Jesus and that the face of the Father is revealed. “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful” he quoted from Luke the evangelist, highlighting the fact that God’s Commandment to love one’s neighbour for Christians is a single and coherent rule of life. And commenting further on the parable of the Good Samaritan, the Pope pointed out that it is not us, on the basis of our criteria, who can define who is neighbour and who is not, but it is the person in need who must be able to recognize who his neighbour is, that is, " The one who treated him with mercy”. Pope Francis also reflected on the fact that it was no coincidence that Jesus chose the Samaritan as a positive figure. “We know that the Jews treated the Samaritans with contempt, considering them strangers to the chosen people”, he said pointing out that in this way he strove to overcome prejudice, showing that “even a foreigner, even one who does not know the true God and does not attend his temple, is able to behave according to His will, feeling compassion for his brother in need and helping him with all the means at his disposal”. The key of Christian life, the Pope reiterated, is in one’s capacity to show compassion. If you lack compassion, ask yourself whether your heart has turned to ice. “If before a person in need you do not feel compassion, if your heart is not moved, it means that there is something wrong,” the Pope said. “If you cross a homeless person on your path, and you pass by without looking at him, or thinking ‘he’s drunk,’ do not ask yourself whether that man has had too much to drink, but whether your heart has stiffened and turned to ice,” he continued. Pope Francis concluded with a prayer to
the Virgin Mary to help us to increasingly live that inseparable bond that exists between our love for God the Father, and a concrete and generous love for our brothers and sisters, and to give us the grace to grow in compassion.

OUR LADY of MT CARMEL NOVENA God our Father, prompted by Your Spirit the order of Carmel has from the beginning dedicated itself to the Mother of Your Son. As she unites her prayers with ours, look with favour upon us and bless our families, keep each of us from harm And bring us to the joy of heaven. We ask this through Jesus the Lord. Amen.
SOULS in PURGATORY PRAYER Eternal Father, I offer You the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, for those in my own home, and in my family. Amen.
OUR LADY of ALL NATIONS PRAYER Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father, send now Your Spirit over the earth. Let the Holy Spirit live in the hearts of all nations, that they may be preserved from degeneration, disaster and war. May the Lady of All Nations, the Blessed Virgin Mary, be our Advocate. Amen.
ST THERESE’S DAILY PRAYER FOR PRIESTS O Jesus, Eternal Priest, Keep your priests within the shelter of Your Sacred Heart. Keep unstained their anointed hands, which daily touch Your Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips, daily purpled with Your Precious Blood. Keep pure and unearthly their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood. Let Your holy love surround them and shield them from the world’s contagion. May the souls to whom they minister be their joy and consolation, here and in heaven, their beautiful and everlasting crown. Amen.
