Reflections on the Readings for 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A
Introduction
Today, we recall that to love God with all our being and energy means to put on the mind and
heart of God. This means it is with this mind and heart that we treat others, particularly those who
may be hostile to us.
First Reading: Exodus 22:22-26
Moses receives from the Lord God the depth of God‟s special preference for the disadvantaged (such as
orphans and widows) and that this should be the attitude of his people.
Second Reading: 1 Thessalonians 1:5a-10
Paul describes how this community has turned away from idols and set their hearts on the living God revealed in
Jesus.
Gospel: Matthew 22:34-40
Loving God with all our heart and one‟s neighbour as oneself is the essence of walking the way of God with
Jesus.

SUNNYBANK SOCIAL JUSTICE COMMUNITY:
STRIVING FOR THE BEST
IN OUR SPORTING NATION
The Australian Catholic Bishops‟ Social Justice
Statement for 2014-15 challenges us to look at the place
of sport in our lives. Where are its strengths and how
can we ensure that sport can thrive and, in return, can
nourish our society? How can we work to realise sport‟s
potential to unite communities, overcome differences
and to be a force for social justice and reconciliation?
Pope Francis has stressed the importance of sport in
our lives. „Engaging in sports rouses us to go beyond
ourselves and our own interests in a healthy way; it
trains the spirit in sacrifice and, if it is organised well, it
fosters loyalty in interpersonal relations and respect for
rules.‟
Copies of the Bishops‟ statement are available at the
church or at: www.socialjustice.catholic.org.au
The next meeting of the social justice group will be
discussing the statement.
Please see the notice boards for an advertisement
for housekeeping positions at Wynberg.
The notice outlines the duties and responsibilities
and gives the contact information.
St Vincent de Paul Society, Sunnybank,
urgently requires new members to assist with our
visitations to help the less fortunate in our
community. Visits are made every weekday after 3
pm approximately. If you can assist any day, please
come to our next meeting at 6.45 pm, Monday 3rd
November at the Parish Office.

Breaking open the Mass continued...
After the Holy, Holy, Holy we kneel down – remember what we do outwardly with our bodies is an indicator of what should be happening inwardly. As we kneel down the Eucharist prayer starts, the priest ‘calls
down’ the Holy Spirit with a sweeping-down motion with His hands over
the gifts on the altar.
Over the next few minutes the bread and wine is transformed into the
Body and Blood of Jesus Christ! God is made fully present upon the altar
for YOU!! This transformation is called transubstantiation – which means
that although it still looks like bread and wine and tastes like bread and
wine it is not... the substance has been changed into the Body and Blood
of Jesus!
Listen to the words of the consecration, pray them with the priest!
