UNDERSTANDING THE REVISED MASS TEXT
On Pentecost Sunday (weekend of June 11/12) there will be the introduction of changes to some of the prayers and responses at Mass. The
changes will be for both the Priest and the people. Outlined below is the Fifth Theological Principle underpinning the Revised Eucharistic
Liturgy and this week the changes of the people's responses in the Liturgy of the Eucharist up to the end of the Eucharistic Prayer.
NB: The changes are not changes in the structure or the ritual of the Mass.
The Fifth Theological Principle Underpinning the Revised Eucharistic Liturgy:
Church - We experience God as a community of believers
♦
99% of the pronouns that the Church uses in our liturgy to name who we are and our need for God are in the plural: 'we', 'our', and 'us'.
♦
Essentially, all liturgy is about the enactment of the Paschal Mystery in and among the community that is the Church. God invites and
we respond.
♦
We who are nourished at the Altar are to be members of a community that assumes its proper responsibility to engage in mission and
action outside the Eucharist.
♦
One of the main purposes of the Eucharist is to build up the Church, but no celebration of the liturgy is ever only about itself or closed in
on itself. It is always about the wider, universal Church, and the Church being the sacrament of salvation for the whole world.
♦
As Church, we are always part of something bigger than we are as individuals. The very gathering of the assembly to celebrate
baptisms, weddings, funerals, anointing of the sick as well as for Mass, is a statement of belonging and relationship. No one is or can
be alone in the Church.
THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST
PRESENT TEXT
NEW TRANSLATION
Response of people to the invitation to prayer by the Priest... Pray, brethren, that our sacrifice...
May the Lord accept this sacrifice at your hands
for the praise and glory of his name,
for our good, and the good of all his Church.
May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands
for the praise and glory of his name,
for our good and the good of all his holy Church.

Memorial Acclamation...
The present English Missal offers four choices:
a)
Christ has died...
b)
Dying you destroyed our death...
c)
When we eat this bread...
d)
Lord, by your cross and resurrection...
In the new translation there will now be three:
a) We proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess
your Resurrection until you come again.
b) When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we
proclaim your death, O Lord, until you come
again.
c) Save us, Saviour of the world, for by your Cross
and Resurrection you have set us free.
The text in bold italics are the changes in the people's responses.

LITURGY AND PRAYER IN THE CLUSTER
EUCHARIST WELCOME MASSES:
During the normal parish Masses this weekend and next, the children who will receive Eucharist for the first time will be welcomed,
and they and their parents will make a Statement of Commitment to live out the faith of the Church. Parishioners are asked to pray
for these young people over the coming months.
EUCHARIST PROGRAM for children not attending Catholic Primary Schools:
This program will begin next Sunday, June 5th, with a Welcome Ceremony at the 9.30am Mass at Holy Family. If you wish to be
part of this program and have not enrolled, please contact Frank Kearney at the Cluster Office on 5278 1343 Monday to
Wednesday.
STEWARDSHIP CORNER - Thoughts on Giving
"... and many paralysed or crippled people were cured. There was great joy in that city" - Acts 8:7-8
It's easy to rejoice in the gifts that God gives when they are as outstanding as a lame man walking or a sick man cured. However,
do we take time to thank God for the many miracles He gives us everyday - good health, family, friends, education, employment,
housing? Being grateful is the secret to being joyful.
EVENING MASS AT Ss PETER & PAUL'S:
Fr Mick and I have introduced an evening Mass at Ss Peter & Paul's each THURSDAY 7.30PM. Our motivation is to provide
people in the paid work-force an opportunity to attend a weekday Mass, as well as providing an opportunity for Memorial Masses
for people whose relatives have died overseas or who are having a "month's anniversary" Mass for a deceased family member.
This Mass will be offered for a number of weeks and we will then gauge if it is being well received and that will determine if we
continue.
A VOCATION VIEW:
That Jesus rose from the dead is our Faith. That we can be reborn in the Spirit is our Hope. That we can do God's work is our
love. Follow God's Call.
FAREWELL TO FR PETER FOLEY:
On your behalf I thank Fr Peter Foley for presiding over some of our Masses last weekend. We extend prayerful best wishes to Fr
Peter who has retired from his role as Parish Priest of St Bernard's in Belmont. Fr Peter has served the people of Belmont and,
indeed, the wider Geelong community, in so many different ways through his preaching, presiding over the Liturgy, pastoral care
and the example of his own life. Geelong has been blessed to have someone like Fr Peter serve for so long and so generously.
We wish him all the best in his "retirement". He is soon to head off overseas and his trip will include a visit to Manya in Uganda
where St Bernard's with Cotton-On are providing medical and educational facilities for the people of that region. -Fr Gerard
