Parish Bulletin: 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year A

Good afternoon,

Please enjoy reading this week's bulletin.

This Sunday we celebrate all things Safeguarding.

Let us pray for our parish -

God of compassion, you know each of us by name and hold every child close to your heart.

Your love is patient and kind, not jealous or boastful, not rude or self-seeking; it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things and it always protects.

Today we renew our commitment to safeguarding in our parish: to listen when someone finds the courage to speak, to act without delay when there is a concern,

to tell the truth even when it costs us, to never to confuse mercy with silence, and to reach out in practical care to those most easily overlooked the children,

the newcomer, the housebound, the elderly, the person living alone, the person with a disability, and anyone made vulnerable by their circumstances.

Give us Sirach’s wisdom to set aside the pride that hides wrongdoing, Christ’s compassion that goes out to the wounded first,

Paul’s vision of a love that always protects, and the Psalmist’s confidence that you, O Lord, redeem what is broken and crown the humble with kindness.

May this parish be a true sanctuary, safe for the smallest among us, attentive to the most vulnerable, honest with the truth, and faithful to the God whose love always protects.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen
