Mass Readings for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B

• First Reading – Isaiah 53:10-11: The LORD allowed the Suffering Servant to suffer for our sins. He will offer his life, see his descendants, fulfill the LORD’s will, and justify many through his affliction and bearing their guilt.
• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 33: The Lord’s word is reliable, and his works are trustworthy. He watches over those who fear him and hope for his kindness, rescuing them from death and sustaining them in famine.
• Second Reading – Hebrews 4:14-16: Jesus, the Son of God, our great high priest, understands our weaknesses and temptations. Let us confidently approach God’s throne for mercy and grace in our time of need.
• Gospel – Mark 10:35-45: James and John asked Jesus for positions of honor. Jesus taught that true greatness comes from serving others, not from seeking power. He emphasized that he came to serve and give his life for many.

As you may be aware the Relics of St Bernadette are visiting Ss. Peter & Paul’s Church on the Weekend of November 2nd to 4th. It is a great privilege to be chosen to host the relics. While they are with us we will need to have parishioners on site at all times to assist those who will come to venerate the relics. We hope to have at least two volunteers in the church at all times during the visit. We ask you to consider volunteering as a steward during this time. If you feel you can help please fill in the short questionnaire on the link below to register your name, or contact Martina at the parish office on 0906492171 (Weekday Mornings)We thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely

John Daly

Chairperson Parish Pastoral Council.
