THIS SUNDAY’S MASS
Scripture:
Deuteronomy 18: 15 – 20.
Psalm 94
R/. O that today you would listen to his voice!
Harden not your hearts.
Come, ring out our joy to the Lord;
hail the rock who saves us.
Let us come before him, giving thanks,
with songs let us hail the Lord.
Come in; let us kneel and bend low;
let us kneel before the God who made us
for he is our God /
and we the people who belong to his pasture,
the flock that is led by his hand.
O that today you would listen to his voice! /
‘Harden not your hearts as at Meribah,
as on that day at Massah in the desert
when your fathers put me to the test;
when they tried me, though they saw my work.’
1 Corinthians 7: 32 – 35.
Mark 1: 21 – 28.
Intercession: Lord graciously hear us
A woman was at work when she received a phone
call telling her that her daughter was ill. She left
work and went to the pharmacist to buy some flu
medicine. Unfortunately, having done so, she
returned to discover she’d locked her keys in the
car.
She looked around for a rusty coat hanger, found
one, but didn’t know how to use it. So she bowed
her head and prayed for help. Within seconds a
scruffy man appeared. She was so desperate she
told him her plight and asked him, “Do you know
how to break into a car with one of these?”
“Sure,” said the man, and within a minute had
opened the car door.
The woman hugged him and thanked him profusely.
“Thank you so much,” she said, “You are a very
nice man.”
The man replied, “Lady, I am not a nice man. I just
got out of prison today. I was in prison for car theft
and have only been out for one hour.”
“Thank you, Lord,” shouted the woman, “for
sending me a professional!”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There were eleven people hanging onto a rope that
came down from a plane. Ten were Irish, and one
was a university professor. They all decided that
one person should get off because if they didn’t then
the rope would break and everyone would die. No
one could decide who should go, so finally the
professor said, ‘I’ll get off.’ After a really touching
speech from the professor saying she would get off,
all of the Irish people started clapping.

What do you get if you cross a hedgehog with a

A Teachers’ Prayer on Education Sunday
May I praise, not criticise; encourage, not deter; help, not hinder; accompany, not
direct; and bring light and joy to those I meet. May my lessons be truthful and
inspiring as they reveal the wonderful traces of your presence in creation and in
the best of human kind. May my classroom be a place of peace and respect,
discovery and learning, where each person is given space and encouragement to
flourish, growing to be the person you call them to be.
Give me energy, and faith and commitment, especially when I am tired or
despondent, let down, or wondering if my efforts are worthwhile. Give me the
wisdom and strength of your Spirit, today and each day; that I may help the souls
committed to my care for the common good and for your greater glory.
Amen.

When little Susie came home from her first day of
school, she promptly asked her mum, “What is sex?”
Susie’s mother had been expecting the
question for some time, so she launched into a
speech about the birds and the bees and the eggs and
the sperm and what happens when two people love
each other very much and so on.
Noticing her daughter’s brow was still
furrowed, she stopped talking.
“Susie, haven’t you been able to follow what
I’ve been telling you?”
“I have, mum, I really have,” replied Susie,
pulling her school registration card out of her
backpack. “But how am I going to fit all that in this
little box?”
St Mary’s Brownies and Guides are collecting
Sainsbury’s Active Kids Vouchers.
If you collect any and would like to donate them,
please put them in the box in the Church or drop
them into parish office. Many thanks.
