In this week’s issue:
Disturbing Faith
“How I wish the blaze were ignited.”
The gospels are a pain in the neck of prudent heads
and moderate minds.
“Don't get carried away. We don't want you going off
the deep end.” That was only the first time I received
counsel which, though offered in charity, seemed to
tame something unleashed in me whenever I read the
gospels. After all, one did not want to burn out, much
less cause trouble. But that's what the gospels do. They
start fires in us. They cause trouble.
The gospels are a pain in the neck of prudent heads
and moderate minds. They are surely a greater threat to
worldly or church authority than Jeremiah was to those
princes who wanted him put to death for demoralizing
the army and people. They threw Jeremiah in a cistern,
where he became the proverbial “stick-in-the-mud.”
Jesus we just stick on a wall. We paint him pious, nice,
and pretty, surely not a troublemaker or a firebrand.
Or was he? “I have come to light a fire on the earth. Incorporating the worshiping
community of St Patrick’s
How I wish the blaze were ignited… Do you think I have
Fortitude Valley
come to establish peace on the earth? The contrary is
true; I have come for division.”
YEAR OF MERCY
Now, of course, we know that this is not the whole
14 AUGUST 2016
story. After all, he was called the Prince of Peace, and
20TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY
he promised a peace that “the world cannot give.”
TIME
As for causing division, why would his priestly
prayer ask that we might be completely one in him and
Most Rev Mark Coleridge
each other? Moreover, the Gospels readily provide a Archbishop of Brisbane
litany of love.
Very Rev David Pascoe
The problem is, I believe, that the love and unity Dean
Christ offers are at odds with the counterfeits we coin. If
Leonard Uzuegbu
Christ's peace takes hold of us, it brings an interior Rev
Associate Pastor
freedom that makes us dangerous and divisive,
Mrs Grace Harwood
especially if we cannot be bought off or intimidated.
Pastoral Associate
His unity is repugnant to any person or culture that
demands moral accommodation as its cost. His love is Mr George von Waidkuns-Velazquez
Sacristan
obnoxious to anyone who thinks charity begins at
Mr Bob Crapnell
home. His peace does not come cheap.
In fact, in this matter of following Christ, even Mr Lloyd Eickenloff
Assistant Sacristans
households can be divided if the price of unity is
deception. Brothers and sisters, whether in blood or in Mr James Goldrick
Acting Director of Music
community of faith, can find themselves in opposition.
The command of love stokes the fire of conflict— Ms Carmel Devery
both with others and within our hearts—over money, Office Co-ordinator
territory, family, and tribe. Love in itself, much more Mr Terry Tolhurst
strong and abiding than a spark of quick passion, is a Mrs Nicola Vincent
Administrative Assistants
refining blaze of covenant and fidelity.
Peace and unity will come, not by dousing the fire of Mr Vince Crisci; Mr Isaac Morton;
faith or declaring a false truce with evil, but by focusing Mr Patrick Yzelman; Mr John
Mr Chris Carfoot
our attention on the one who kindled love in the first Cusack;
Facilities & Maintenance
place.
“Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus,
who inspires. … Remember him. Do not
grow despondent or abandon the struggle.”

2. Under the shadow of thy throne,

2. Ye blessèd souls at rest,
Who ran this earthly race,
And now, from sin released,
Behold the Saviour's face,
God's praises sound,
As in his sight
With sweet delight
Ye do abound.
3. My soul, bear thou thy part,
Triumph in God above:
And with a well-tuned heart
Sing thou the songs of love!
Let all thy days
Till life shall end,
Whate'er he send,
Be filled with praise.

KYRIE ET GLORIA
POSTCOMMUNION HYMN
2. Elect from every nation,
yet one o'er all the earth,
her charter of salvation,
one Lord, one faith, one birth;
one holy Name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses,
with every grace endued.
3. Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war
she waits the consummation
of peace for evermore;
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blessed,
and the great Church victorious
shall be the Church at rest.
4. Yet she on earth hath union
with God, the Three in one,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we
like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM
COMMUNION MOTET
Verleih uns Frieden gnädiglich,
Herr Gott, zu unsern Zeiten.
Es ist doch ja kein andrer nicht,
der für uns könnte streiten,
denn du, unser Gott, alleine.
Grant us Thy peace, Almighty Lord
O Source of ev'ry blessing!
We cannot keep Thy saving Word
Unless Thy peace possessing.
Thy peace O give by which we live.
Vigilate, nescitis enim quando
dominus domus veniat, sero,
an media nocte, an gallicantu,
an mane. Vigilate ergo, ne cum
venerit repente, inveniat vos
dormientes. Quod autem dico
vobis, omnibus dico: Vigilate.
Watch ye therefore, for you know not when the
lord of the house cometh,
at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing,
or in the morning: Watch therefore,
lest coming on a sudden, he find you sleeping.
And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch.
MENDELSSOHN
W. BYRD
I waited, I waited for the Lord
and he stooped down to me;
he heard my cry. R.
He drew me from the deadly pit,
from the miry clay.
He set my feet upon a rock
and made my footsteps firm. R.
He put a new song into my mouth,
praise of our God.
Many shall see and fear
and shall trust in the Lord. R.
As for me, wretched and poor,
the Lord thinks of me.
You are my rescuer, my help,
O God, do not delay! R.
