QUOTES OF THE WEEK
I look around at the liberal hierarchy and I don’t care any more. I pity them for what they don’t believe..... Bugger you debunkers, I’m fireproof. What I have discovered to my immeasurable joy is that grumpy, failing, proto-amnesiacal and semi-demented though I might be, the Christian Faith – no, let me be blatant, the love of God - seems to illuminate and warm me as it never did. I have been a priest for thirty-five years and I have always been grateful for the privilege. But nowadays when I stand at the altar and repeat His words, I know. I don’t want doctrines explaining the Real Presence. He is here. I wish I could sing it for joy. And His joy no man taketh away.
Rev’d Dr Peter Mullen. Rector of St Michael’s, Cornhill & Chaplain to the Stock Exchange.
Faith is an invitation to re-work the human body as a sacred vessel, to transubstantiate ourselves in thought, from appetite to will, and from flesh to spirit. R Scruton
Our mother came in to the back room, where I was sitting with a book. She had been crying, and her large, quiet, regular face had a crumpled look, like an unmade bed. R Scruton
WHY WE LOVE CHILDREN
A kindergarten pupil told his teacher he’d found a cat, but it was dead. “How do you know that the cat was dead?” she asked her pupil. “Because I pissed in its ear and it didn’t move,” answered the child innocently. You did WHAT the teacher exclaimed in surprise? “You know, explained the boy, “I leaned over and went ‘Pssst!’ and it didn’t move
LIFE
Life is something to do when you can’t get to sleep. Fran Lebowitz
There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. George Santayana
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
I downloaded the article from which this extract appears not long after the Tsunami because it provided good food for thought. It is by Alex Beam, from the Boston Globe. (AN)
“A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.” Just because the famous aphorism is attributed to Joseph Stalin doesn’t mean it isn’t true. It is a commonplace of the pulpit and the editorial page that we are all joined in one great brotherhood of man and woman, that ‘’each man’s joy is joy to me, each man’s grief is my own,” to cite a popular hymn. But for many years I have wondered if that is true. I think compassion is like a radar signal that loses force the further it radiates from our hearts.
I can easily understand why someone is more affected by the loss of a favourite actor, or a well-regarded talk-show host..... or by the death of an author one has enjoyed, than by the passing of tens of thousands of faraway strangers. In 1994, I remember seeing a picture of dozens of bodies washing over a waterfall during the Rwandan genocide, and reacting with shock and indifference. Those events seemed to be taking place in a galaxy far, far away.
Human apathy toward mass deprivation is legendary. Aid organizations know this. For decades, the relief organization Save the Children has urged first-world donors to underwrite the well-being of a specific child somewhere in the Third World. Why? Because no one cares about saving children in the abstract. But people do care about saving Marzina, an 8-year-old from Bangladesh, who is currently seeking a sponsor.
The media likewise know that gargantuan disaster stories have to be correctly packaged to capture readers’ attention. There is an old, politically incorrect saying in newsrooms: How do you change a front-page story about massive flood devastation into a 50-word news brief buried inside the paper? Just add two words: ‘’In India.”
I was in a remote hotel last week and tripped across a news report from Deutsche Welle, Germany’s government-supported international network. With tens of thousands of Asians already confirmed dead, DW headlined the disappearance of four Germans in the tsunami. My immediate reaction was: Who cares about four Germans? Answer: The Germans care about the Germans. The Americans care about the Americans. And so on.
Europeans and others sometimes dismiss America’s ‘’overreaction” to the Sept. 11 attacks. Statistically speaking, the losses on 9/11 equalled those during a few hours of one of the European continent’s epic land battles. But the impact was felt all over the Eastern seaboard, and all over the country.
A man who lived a few houses down from me died on one of the airliners. Waiting in line to move my son’s belongings into his college dorm in New York City a year later, I met several families from New Jersey for whom the memory of the year-old attacks remained painful and dramatic. They hadn’t experienced an event, they had lived through a tragedy.
When my family returned home from our vacation on Saturday, we were greeted by a handwritten note from a friend, saying she may have lung cancer. One of my sons burst out crying. Her biopsy was yesterday; as of this writing we don’t know the results. For us, that’s a tragedy. The rest is news.
JOY
Joy untouched by thankfulness
is always suspect. (T.Haeker)
PRAYERS DURING THE FIFTH WEEK OF LENT
Each week during Lent this Pew Sheet has provided an outline to help in saying daily prayers. It is a guide to be used only by those who find it helpful, and should be used reflectively, ruminatively, and with plenty of time for one’s own words, thoughts and loves.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
The following is said before a crucifix actual or imagined
Lord, by this sweet and saving Sign defend me from my foes and Thine.
Jesus, by your wounded feet, direct my path aright:
Jesus, by your nailed hands, move mine to deeds of love:
Jesus, by your pierced side, cleanse my desires:
Jesus, by your crown of thorns, annihilate my pride:
Jesus, by your silence, shame my complaints:
Jesus, by your parched lips, curb my cruel speech:
Jesus, by your closing eyes, look on my sin no more:
Jesus, by your broken heart, knit mine to you.
And by this sweet and saving Sign, Lord, draw me to my peace and Thine.
REPENTANCE
Call to mind the past 24 hours. Think of two things you have done that you
shouldn’t have done or two things you haven’t done that you should have...
All that I ought to have thought and have not thought,
All that I ought to have said and have not said,
All that I ought to have done and have not done;
All that I ought not to have thought and yet have thought,
All that I ought not have spoken and yet have spoken,
All that I ought not to have done and yet have done;
For thoughts, words and works, I pray, O Father,
for forgiveness and repent with penance.
GRATITUDE
Call to mind blessings of the past day and thank God for them
I thank you, Lord of Heaven, for all that you have given to help us and delight us, for friends who gladly greet us, for flowers of field and garden, for bees with sweetness laden, for swift and gallant horses, for dogs with friendly faces, for homely dwelling places, for songs and kindly voices, for food and sleep and ease - I thank thee, Lord, for these.
INTERCESSION
Call to mind, and then hold there for a moment, those in need of love and prayer
Lord in your mercy, hear my prayer.
Lord, I remember before you all the workers of the world: workers with hand or brain: workers in cities or fields: those who go forth to toil those who keep house: employers and employees: those who command and those who obey: those whose work is dangerous: those whose work is monotonous or mean: those who can find no work to do: those whose work is the service of the poor, or the healing of the sick, or the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ at home or in foreign places.
Continue to read reflectively a few verses each day of St Luke’s Passion account, which begins at chapter 2214. Imagine yourself into the story, be conscious of God with you.
God, that madest earth and heaven, darkness and light,
Who the day for toil hast given for rest the night;
Guard us waking, guard us sleeping, and when we die:
May we in thy mighty keeping all peaceful lie. Amen.

PALM CROSSES
Next Sunday is Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week. The therapeutic art of Palm Cross making will take place on Saturday the 8th April, in the Supper Room, beginning at 10.00am. Do come along to help, it’s a good social occasion.
COMMISSIONING OF COUNCILLORS
After the sermon today we commission this year’s Parish Councillors and Wardens for their heroic task.
MEMORIAL WALL DEDICATION
We are sending out some invitations to the Memorial Wall Dedication Service on Sunday May 21st, mainly to people whose loved one’s ashes are interred in the garden. If you know of anyone else who should be sent an individual invitation, please let us know by Wednesday.
MARKET-PLACE
The Editor of “Market-Place” a monthly Anglican newspaper has sent me ten copies of the March edition as a sample. Please help yourself to a copy and having read it return it for others to read. He has sent them presumably to attract possible subscribers and because he thinks that an article in it by your rector might be bait, as if you don’t get enough from me from pew-sheet, pulpit and Outreach!
BLOOD DONATIONS
There is information in the Narthex on Blood Donations. There is apparently a disturbing shortage of blood available to those in need. So do please seriously consider signing up to donate.
A.B.M. LADY DAY
The weather was lovely to travel to Wangaratta and it was a very successful day, with the pie stall raising $300.20and the raffle, our best ever $1,206.00. Our thanks to Mrs. June McKellar for her generous gift of a hand painted jug, this was won by Lyn Beaumont, the ticket sold by Heather Camm. Sincere thanks to everyone for buying and selling tickets, cooking and last but not least taking the time to travel to Wangaratta and work on the stall. Thanks again on behalf of A.B.M. Nola Brewer
MOTHERING SUNDAY BREAKFAST
Many thanks to those who organised the Breakfast for Mothering Sunday, and to Heather Pearson for her talk which unfortunately I didn’t hear because of the Dookie run. Thank you again for all who made simnel cake and enough posies even for the multitude at the 10.30 Baptisms!
PRAYER LIST
The Prayer List for the sick and needy has been culled, it being the first Sunday of a new month. The names of those in need of prayer need to be put on the list in the Narthex and signed for, if their permission has been given. If that permission is unobtainable, then only a Christian name should be used.
