Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence. The law of fasting binds those who have completed their eighteenth year, until the beginning of their sixtieth year; the law of abstinence binds those who have completed their fourteenth year (CCL 97, 1251-52)

From St Vincent de Paul Society Rockhampton, Queensland ‘Thank you for your most generous donation of $1,940.00 towards the Society’s Flood Appeal. The Society’s resources at these times of natural disaster are always stretched and it is only through the generosity of our donors and benefactors that the Society can give the assistance it does to those families who do enjoy the full support of the St Vincent de Paul Society. May God’s choicest blessings be bestowed upon you…..Neil Dwyer, President’.
On February 7th seven elders journeyed from the Northern Territory for a forum held at Melbourne University on the impact of living under the intervention. Copies of a request from the elders to the people of Australia to walk with them to bring about change together with copies of a media release can be obtained at the information desk. Rosalie, one of the elders, spoke about recently going to Geneva to the United Nations Conference. Initially worried about how she would be accepted she now feels very sad that she had to travel so far from her home to be recognised as an equal human being.

Children, we give thanks to God for the joy and the special gifts which you bring to your families, schools and our community, and we celebrate the blessing which your families bring to our Parish and to our wider community, and so, with Saint Paul, we pray for you and your families:
Out of his infinite glory, may God our Father give you the power, through his Spirit, for your hidden self to grow strong, so that Christ may live in your hearts through faith, and then, planted in love and built on love, you will, with all the saints, have strength to grasp the breadth and the length, the height and the depth, until knowing the love of Christ which is beyond all knowing, you are filled with the utter fullness of God.
Amen
