Weekly Reflection

REFLECTION: (excerpt from https://homilysunday.com/ )
“Ephphatha! Be opened!” is Jesus’ command that Opens the ears of the deaf man, opens his
mouth and loosens his tongue. Are we fed up of being deaf to Jesus’ sound advice, blind to the wonders of God’s creation and dumb when we must witness to the Spirit of truth? Then, let’s whisper, “Ephphatha! Be opened!” to each part of our body, and every avenue of our existence:
Be Opened, my eyes, may I see everything beautiful and The One who made it so, Ephphatha, all eyes, may we see the evil lurking behind structures and our role in it,
Be opened my ears, let the symphonies of Nature resound in the recesses of my soul,
Ephphatha, all ears, let the cries of the poor and the powerless disturb our smugness,
Be opened, my mouth, to sing psalms and poems for the wonders God works today,
Ephphatha, all mouths, to speak against untruth and injustice that silences the lowly,
Be opened, my heart, for the whole world to find some place and some space therein,
Ephphatha, all hearts, breaking down divisions of high-low, rich-poor, pure-impure,
May Ephphatha Sunday open all creatures to a new week, a new life, a new world.
Let us praise and thank God our father for Jesus’ healing touch and the empowering breath of the Holy Spirit every day of our life.

Children’s Liturgy

Children’s Liturgy As a group we gather in the MacKillop Room, listen to the gospel, sing the Alleluia and discuss what it all means for us as followers of Jesus in 2015. We usually respond to the word in a number of ways- using drama, mediation, song, drawing and creating in a meaningful way. We conclude with Prayers of the Faithful, often sharing our own prayers from the heart with each other. We often receive more spiritual wisdom from the children than that from a lot of adults!!
