Prayers to end Abortion Liturgy Roster for 19th October Saturday 6pm:

Prayers to end Abortion: Prayers are
invited every Friday for an hour before
Mass at St Mary's Chapel to end
abortion. This will be done in
conjunction with those who go to pray
and be advocates for the unborn outside
the Abortion Clinic at Tweed Heads
every Friday.
Communion: Communion Ministers
take Holy Communion to the sick in
their homes and in various Nursing
Homes in the parish. If you have a
family member who is unable to
come to Mass and wishes to receive
Communion, please
contact the parish office.
Hospital Visits:
If you or a family member
are in hospital and would like to be
Anointed or receive Holy
Communion,
please contact the
Parish Office on 66260 200. This is
an important ministry for which we
are never too busy to attend too. A
Priest, Deacon or one of our Parish
Pastoral Visitors will visit you.
It is important when a family
member enters the hospital, that their
next of kin list them as Catholic, so
that the Catholic Hospital Chaplain
and Parish Pastoral Visitors know
they are there.

GOSPEL: Mt 22:1-14
Jesus said to the chief priests and elders of
the people: ‘The kingdom of heaven may
be compared to a king who gave a feast for
his son’s wedding. He sent his servants to
call those who had been invited, but they
would not come. Next he sent some more
servants. “Tell those who have been
invited” he said “that I have my banquet all
prepared, my oxen and fattened cattle have
been slaughtered, everything is ready.
Come to the wedding.” But they were not
interested: one went off to his farm,
another to his business, and the rest seized
his servants, maltreated them and killed
them. The king was furious. He dispatched
his troops, destroyed those murderers and
burnt their town. Then he said to his
servants, “The wedding is ready; but as
those who were invited proved to be
unworthy, go to the crossroads in the town
and invite everyone you can find to the
wedding.” So these servants went out onto
the roads and collected together everyone
they could find, bad and good alike; and
the wedding hall was filled with guests.
When the king came in to look at the
guests he noticed one man who was not
wearing a wedding garment, and said to
him, “How did you get in here, my friend,
without a wedding garment?” And the man
was silent. Then the king said to the
attendants, “Bind him hand and foot and
throw him out into the dark, where there
will be weeping and grinding of teeth.” For
many are called, but few are chosen.’

Understanding the Mass:
The
Preparation of the Gifts (Part I)
With the Preparation of the Gifts, the
chief part of the Mass, namely, the
Liturgy of the Eucharist, begins. “At
the Preparation of the Gifts, bread and
wine with water are brought to the
altar, the same elements, that is to say,
which Christ took into his hands”
when he instituted the Eucharist at the
Last Supper.
The General Instruction of the Roman
Missal says, “First, the altar, the
Lord’s table, which is the centre of the
whole Liturgy of the Eucharist, is
prepared by placing on it the corporal,
purificator, Missal, and
chalice...” (73)
From this point forward, the altar is
the centre of activity and attention.
The priest goes to the altar and
remains there until the prayer after
communion. The altar, says the
Catechism of the Catholic Church,
“represents the two aspects of the
same mystery: the altar of the
sacrifice and the table of the Lord.
This is the more so since the Christian
altar is the symbol of Christ himself,
present in the midst of the assembly of
his faithful, both as the victim offered
for our reconciliation and as food
from heaven who is giving himself to
us.” (no. 1383)
What are the objects used or placed on
the altar during the Liturgy of the
Eucharist? They are the sacred
vessels, the Roman Missal and missal
stand and the cloths. The sacred
vessels used are the paten, chalice,
ciborium and cruets, ewer and basin.
The paten is the holy plate, on which
the bread is prepared and consecrated,
changed into the Body of Jesus Christ.
The chalice is the holy cup, in which
wine is prepared and consecrated,
changed into the Blood of Jesus
Christ. The ciborium is a chalice with
a lid, in which smaller bread is
prepared and consecrated, especially
if there are many people communing
to Communion. It is also used for the
Hosts kept in the tabernacle. The
cruets are the jugs which hold the
wine and water. They are usually
made of glass. The ewer and basin are
the jug and the bowl for the washing
of the priest’s hands. In the cathedral,
they are used for more solemn
celebrations. The linens used at Mass
with the sacred vessels are the
corporal, the purificator, the pall, and
the finger towel. The corporal is a
square-shaped linen, put at the centre
of the altar, on which the paten and
chalice (and ciborium) are placed with
the prepared bread and wine. The
purificator is a white cloth used as a
towel to clean the chalice and the
paten. The pall is made of linen,
around a square piece of cardboard,
used to cover the chalice during Mass.
The finger towel is used to dry the
priest’s hands. A chalice veil and a
burse, usually of the same colour as
the vestments, is used in the cathedral.
A burse is a large, flat wallet in which
the folded corporal is kept.
