May Your Kingdom Come O Lord! The Word is King. King of heaven and of earth. The Word lives and

reigns in God. Christ only lives where he reigns; he is essentially King;

he lives in us to the degree that he governs all in us, that he reigns

over our faculties, that he rules our activity.

When all within us comes from him, that is to say when we no longer

think except as he thinks, when we no longer will except as he wills,

when we act only according to his good pleasure, then we place our

whole self in subjection at his feet, then he reigns in us. All that is

proper to us, all that is personal, disappears to give place to the

thoughts and will of the Divine Word. This domination of Christ in us

must be complete. We ask this a hundred times a day: “May your

kingdom come!” O may that day come, O Lord, when you will reign

entirely in me, when no selfish motive will hinder your power over me,

when, like you, I shall be entirely yielded up to the Father and nothing

within me will be opposed to the Holy Spirit’s action!

On that day we shall have done all that within us lies to bring our own

personality to naught before the dominion of Christ. He will truly be

for us “All in all” (cf. 1 Cor 15:28). Morally speaking we shall no longer

have anything of our own: all will be subject, all will be given to him.

- BLESSED COLUMBA MARMION (1858-1923) ABBOT, POVERTY (CHRIST, THE IDEAL OF THE MONK, 1934, PP. 206-7, REV.)

THE ORDER OF MASS

ENTRANCE ANTIPHON

PENITENTIAL ACT

I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, (STRIKING THEIR BREAST, THEY SAY:) through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

THE KYRIE Missa Brevis in G Major KV140 – W.A. Mozart

THE GLORIA

THE NICENE CREED

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, (ALL BOW) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. (RISE) For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the

forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

CHRISTUS VINCIT! Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ commands!

1. To Francis, Supreme Pontiff and Universal Father: Peace, Life, and Perpetual Health.

2. To Peter, Most Reverend Bishop, and all the clergy with him: Peace, Life, and Perpetual Health.

3. May a time of goodness come! May the Peace of Christ come! May the Reign of Christ come!

THE SANCTUS

THE MYSTERY OF FAITH

We proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.

THE AGNUS DEI

Missa Brevis in G Major KV49 – W.A. MOZART

COMMUNION ANTIPHON

At the 10.30am Mass, the Schola sings:

‘O JESU MI’

HAIL REDEEMER, KING DIVINE! Priest and Lamb, the throne is Thine; King, whose reign shall never cease, Prince of everlasting peace.

Angels, saints and nations sing : “Praised be Jesus Christ our King; Lord of life, earth, sky and sea, King of love on Calvary!”

2. King, Whose name creation thrills, Rule our minds, our hearts, our wills, Till in peace each nation rings With thy praises, King of kings.

3. King most holy, King of truth, guide the lowly, guide the youth; Christ Thou King of glory bright, be to us eternal light.

4. Shepherd-king, o’er mountains steep homeward bring the wandering sheep; shelter in one royal fold states and kingdoms, new and old.

SALVE REGINA

************************************************************************* ST PHILIP’S SCHOOL NEWS: Mr David Gulavin has resigned the position of Principal of St Philip’s School, effective from the end of the 2020 school year. We have been fortunate to have Mr Gulavin on staff at St Philip’s for the past eight years, with the last six of these as Principal. He has also had the role of Religious Education Leader at different times. His dedication to our school has been outstanding with an untiring commitment to ongoing improvement across all areas of school life. On a personal note, I have been blessed to have such a professional and committed principal to work with in the great task of providing Catholic education here at St Philip’s Parish. We will arrange an appropriate farewell for Mr Gulavin when we can gather together. The process of appointing a new principal takes time. At this stage we hope to have an acting principal in place for Term 1 2021. In the meantime, let us pray for Mr Gulavin in his new endeavours, and also for our school, that a suitable candidate will be found for the role of principal. – Fr N. Dillon PP

MASS BOOKINGS: It is expected that today there may be an announcement of some easing of government restrictions on numbers of people permitted to gather in places of worship. When details are known, the booking link for weekday Masses 23 – 28 November will be sent to those on the parish email list.

PARISH CHOIR & PARISH SOCIAL CLUB: In recess until further notice due to COVID-19.

COLUMBAN CALENDARS 2021: Calendars for 2021 are available for $10 in the narthex. *************************************************************************

CONGRATULATIONS! To Jim & Pat Barton who celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary on Thursday 19th November 2020. They received an anniversary blessing at the end of 9.00am Mass. Let us pray: Almighty, everlasting God, look with kindness on these your servants, who with gladness approach Thy holy temple to give thanks, and grant that, after this life they may, with their children, attain to the joys of eternal happiness. Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen. *************************************************************************
