NEWS from the Pastoral Council. The Council continues to meet monthly- the August meeting occurring last Saturday. In recent months the Council has been considering the following issues:

how to cater for possible needs of young adolescent;

how to assist the St Vincent de Paul chapter of the Parish;

the possibilities for the precincts of the Parish’s churches;

the appointment of the Director of Music;

the forthcoming National Church Life Survey (October) and

the Annual Catholic Campaign (September 10/11).

The Council is also planning an evening

where parishioners can begin expressing ideas in preparation of the National Church Synod and about local Cathedral issues. This event is likely to occur early in Advent so please watch out for notices. Members of the Council are always ready to discuss these issues so please approach them if you would like to do so - the monthly morning tea occasions are a good opportunity for that.

True Humility In the Gospel Reading, Jesus censures people

who take the seats of honour at a feast. Take the least honourable places, he tells them, and then the host can invite you to a more honourable place. Jesus is rebuking the pride of those people who go for the honourable seats. But what is the solution to the problem of pride? If you race your friends to the least honourable seat because the reward for doing so is that you get one of the best seats, isn’t this pride too?

So what is true humility? Well, think about pride. There is a childish kind of pride, of course,

where you brag about your accomplishments while everybody else tries to be polite enough not to roll their eyes while you are talking.

The worst and most sophisticated kind of pride is found in the Pharisee. And then there is also the grown-up version of that childish pride. A multi-millionaire who explains that he is a self-made man has this kind of pride. He has failed to notice all the gifts he has been given that have helped him get where he is. He thinks he himself is responsible for the good he has.

A more complicated kind of pride can be found in a person who knows that all his good comes from the grace of God. But he is sure that God has given such grace to him and not to his neighbours, because God knew that he, unlike his stupid worldly neighbours, would make good use of God’s gifts.

Finally, the worst and most sophisticated kind of pride is found in the Pharisee who thanked God that he was not like other men, especially not like that sinner, the publican. The Pharisee knew that every good in him was a gift from God. But he was glad that he had God’s gifts and that the publican didn’t. The Pharisee liked looking down on the publican.

Here is what humility is, then. It is recognizing that every good in yourself is a gift from God and is meant to be given back to the Lord by being shared with others.

You can’t get true humility by racing for the least honourable seat. If the least honourable seat is, in the Lord’s view, the best place to be seated, then true humility requires your sharing it with others in gratitude to the Lord who gave it. Eleonore Stump

PROCESSIONAL HYMN PICARDY

INTROIT PLAINSONG Miserere mihi Domine, quoniam ad te clamavi tota die: quia tu Domine suavis ac mitis es, et copiosus in misericordia omnibus invocatibus te.

I call to you all day long, have mercy on me, O Lord. You are good and forgiving, full of love for all who call to you

2. King of kings, yet born of Mary, As of old on earth He stood, Lord of lords, in human vesture, In the body and the blood; He will give to all the faithful His own self for heavenly food.

3. Rank on rank the host of heaven Spreads its vanguard on the way, As the Light of light descendeth From the realms of endless day, Comes the powers of hell to vanquish As the darkness clears away.

4. At His feet the six winged seraph, Cherubim with sleepless eye, Veil their faces to the presence, As with ceaseless voice they cry: Alleluia, Alleluia Alleluia, Lord Most High!

KYRIE ET GLORIA POSTCOMMUNION HYMN DOWN AMPNEY

2. O let it freely burn, Till earthly passions turn To dust and ashes in its heat consuming; And let thy glorious light Shine ever on my sight, And clothe me round, the while my path illuming. 3. Let holy charity Mine outward vesture be, And lowliness become mine inner clothing; True lowliness of heart, Which takes the humbler part, And o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing. 4. And so the yearning strong, With which the soul will long, Shall far outpass the power of human telling; For none can guess its grace, Till he become the place Wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.

COMMUNIO PLAINSONG

Ave verum corpus, natum de Maria Virgine: vere passum immolatum in cruce pro homine: cuius latus perforatum, fluxit aqua et sanguine; Esto nobis prægustatum mortis in examine. O Jesu dulcis! O Jesu pie! O Jesu Fili Mariæ. Hail, true body, born of the Virgin Mary; which truly suffered, offered on a cross for mankind; whose pierced side flowed with water and with blood: be for us a foretaste in the trial of death. O sweet, gracious Jesus, son of Mary. C. MAWBY

Sancte Deus, Sancte Fortis, Sancte et Immortalis, miserere nobis. Nunc, Christe, te petimus, miserere, quaesumus. Qui venisti redimere perditos, noli damnare redemptos: Quia per crucem tuam redemisti mundum. Amen. Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy and Immortal One, have mercy upon us. Now, O Christ, we ask thee, we beseech thee, have mercy. Thou who came to redeem the lost, do not condemn the redeemed: For by thy cross thou hast redeemed the world. Amen. T. TALLIS

Domine, memorabor iustitiae tuae solius: Deus, docuisti me a iuventute mea, et usque in senectam et senium, Deus, ne derelinquas me. I will proclaim your justice, O Lord, your alone. O God, you have taught me from my youth, now that I am old and grey-headed, do not forsake me, O God.

Let Israel be joyful in him, that made him: and let the children of Sion rejoice in their king. Sing and exult and praise in songs with the harp and the voice: for he has done marvellous deeds. C. MONTEVERDI

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. Love is strong as death. Greater love hath no man, than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness. Ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus. Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness, into his marvellous light. I beseech you brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies, a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service. J. IRELAND
