PARABOLE DELLA
MISERICORDIA –
QUESTA SETTIMANA!
La mostra 'parabole della
misericordia' sarà allestita in
parrocchia per due
settimane durante il mese
di maggio. Questa mostra è
una meditazione visiva sulla
travolgente misericordia di Dio. Siete invitati a
prendere del tempo per pregare con otto
immagini, da soli o in gruppo e consentire loro
di parlare alla vostra esperienza della
misericordia di Dio. C'è un opuscolo per
accompagnare la riflessione. Gli orari a
disposizione per pregare con le parabole
della misericordia sono elencati
nell'inserto nella newsletter di oggi. Siete
pregati di notare che sono leggermente diversi da
quelli annunciati la settimana scorsa. Venite al
momento che più vi aggrada.
UN ROSARIO ITINERANTE
Un modo tutto nuovo di pregare il
Rosario è il ‘Rosario Itinerante’. Un
grande Rosario composto da lumi di
candela sara’ disposto sul pavimento
del Community Centre di St
Ambrose e (per un giorno) in Our
Lady’s. Le persone saranno invitate a recitare il
Rosario meditando su versetti della Scrittura a
proposito della misericordia. Potremmo definirli
misteri della misericordia. I tempi offerti per
pregare il ‘Rosario Itinerante’ sono indicati
sull'inserto nella newsletter di oggi.
CUPPA DELLA PRIMA
DOMENICA DEL MESE OGGI
Oggi, prima domenica del mese,
dopo la messa delle 10.30 siete
tutti invitati a venire nel centro
comunitario di St Ambrose’s per tè, caffè e
torta … e buona conversazione insieme!
THE PARISH VOICE
Raccomandiamo di portare a casa una copia di
The Parish Voice oggi! Si tratta della nostra rivista
parrocchiale che viene pubblicata tre volte
Parish Newsletter
all'anno. Per sapere di recenti avvenimenti della
parrocchia e per conoscere le storie di alcuni
dei nostri parrocchiani. Prendete una copia
anche per un amico!
UNA COLLETTA PER I FIORI
Ci sarà una raccolta lascia oggi per i
fiori di altare. Ringraziamo Veronica
Mancini di St Ambrose e Agnese
Calabrese di Our Lady’s, che con
generosità e talento prepara le
decorazioni floreali. La colletta di oggi andrà a
sostenere il costo dei fiori.
CONTEGGIO NAZIONALE
Il conteggio nazionale di
partecipazione alla messa in
tutta l'Australia avrà inizio
questo fine settimana. E’ la
quarta volta che la
conferenza episcopale
Australiana conduce il
conteggio a livello nazionale. Il conteggio è
costituito dal numero dei fedeli praticanti di
tutte le età in tutte le parrocchie e altri centri,
in tutta l'Australia, durante i primi quattro
weekend di maggio.
NO CRAFT GROUP QUESTO MESE
Dal momento che le parabole della misericordia e
il Rosario Itinerante sono installati nel community
centre, non ci sarà nessun Craft Group questo
mese. Riprenderemo il primo venerdì di giugno.

O God, be gracious and bless us
and let your face shed its light upon us.
So will your ways be known upon earth
and all nations learn your saving help.
Let the nations be glad and exult
for you rule the world with justice.
With fairness you rule the peoples,
you guide the nations on earth.
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you.
May God still give us his blessing
till the ends of the earth revere him.

Emilio Ferrante
DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED
The Last Discourse of
John’s Gospel brings
the disciples face to
face with the reality of
Jesus’ absence. He is
returning to the Father
and will no longer be a
physical presence with
them. Jesus speaks of
his going and he promises that he will return
and will continue to be a presence in their
midst with the Father and the Spirit.
rosary from bead to bead, while meditating on
phrases from Scripture about mercy. We could
call it the Mysteries of Mercy. The times offered
for praying the ‘Walking’ Rosary are listed on
the insert in the newsletter today.
While these words are mysterious, it is
important to remember that they were written
around sixty years after the death of Jesus. The
continued existence of the community testifies
that Jesus’ promise has become a reality. This
is a community of believers who no longer
have the historical Jesus with them and yet
they continue to experience his Risen
presence. A generation who lived without ever
knowing the historical Jesus know through
their experience that God is still with them.

PEACE AND JUSTICE MEETING
The Parish Peace and Justice group will meet
on Thursday 5 May at 7.30pm in St.
Ambrose’s Parish House. We will be
considering current issues of peace and justice
including the proposed Government budget
and ongoing issues regarding Asylum seekers.
All are welcome.
PARABLES OF MERCY – THIS WEEK!
The ‘Parables of Mercy’
will be in the parish for two
weeks during the month of
May. This exhibition is a
visual meditation on the
overwhelming mercy of
God. You are invited to
take some time to pray with
eight images, alone or in a
group, and allow them to
speak to your experience of the mercy of God.
There is a booklet to accompany the
reflection. The times offered for praying
the Parables of Mercy are listed on the
insert in today’s newsletter. Come along at
the time that best suits you.
A ‘WALKING’ ROSARY
A whole new way of
praying the rosary is the
‘Walking Rosary’. This
will be a large candle-lit
‘rosary’ arranged on the
floor at St Ambrose’s
Community Centre, and (for a day) at Our
Lady’s. People will be invited to walk the
FIRST SUNDAY CUPPA
All are warmly invited to come

THE WISDOM OF OUR PARISH SCHOLARS
Keep the evening of Wednesday 25 May
free! 7.30 – 9.00pm. There will be the
opportunity to listen to the wisdom of three of
our parishioners who are working on their
doctorates in the areas of Church or
Spirituality:
Bryan Cussen is researching
Pope Paul III and Church Reform
in the Sixteenth Century.
Pope Paul III
Christopher Morris is
researching Fr Bruno Barnhart

minute presentation and there will be time for
discussion and questions. The evening will
conclude with supper. All are welcome!
LITURGY PLANNING TEAMS
There is a sign-up sheet on the church table
today for those who would like to be part of a
team that meets with Fr
Michael to prepare the
liturgies for our Sunday
Masses. Each team would
meet perhaps once or
twice in the year depending on the number of
people who volunteer. The team would discuss
ideas for the focus of the Mass, the music, and
suggestions for Prayers of Intercession.
Interested? The teams will begin meeting after
Pentecost.

PHOTOGRAPHS FOR NEW WEBSITE
Over the next few weeks, Paul

displayed in the parish prior to being
chosen for our new parish website.
If you appear in any of the photos
and have concerns about your image

AN ASYLUM SEEKER AND REFUGEE HUB
Cabrini, a Catholic, charitable organisation, is
pleased to announce the development of an
asylum seeker and refugee health hub located
on the ground floor at 503 Sydney Road,
Brunswick. Initial services will begin in May
2016 with GP clinics and specialist mental health
services. Eventually the service will include
chronic disease management, maternal and child
health and infectious disease management,
complemented with social, emotional and
spiritual support. Clustering these services in
one location will enhance access and facilitate a
person-centred, integrated approach to primary
and specialist care for this marginalised and
vulnerable group.
PARISH PRAYER FOCUS FOR MAY
We pray for all Australians who suffer poverty,
illness and homelessness. May our Government
act with fairness and justice in caring for those
most in need.
