ARCHDIOCESE OF BRISBANE - POLICY STATEMENT

Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults: prevention and protection

...for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs (Mark 10:14 ).

Children, young people and vulnerable adults are a gift from God with an

intrinsic right to dignity of life, respect and security from physical and

emotional harm. They are to be treasured, nurtured and safeguarded.

This means that everyone in the church must ensure that the fundamental

rights of children, young people and vulnerable adults are respected. This will

be achieved through the development of respectful relationships and a

commitment to safety embracing appropriate boundaries, behaviours and

practices, in accordance with the Archdiocese of Brisbane Code of Ethical

Behaviour for employees and volunteers who work in service of the Church as

well as adherence to the legislative imperatives of the State.

Please remember the sick in your prayers – Maria Kiss, Harold O’Connell, Karen Cassady, Matilda Swain, Emily Deldot, Molly Xavier, Sheila de Zilva, Cecily McKeon, Vic Montafia, Annabelle Jones, Norman Collins and Veronica Egan.

HUMOUR – A little boy was attending his first wedding. After the service, his cousin asked him, "How many women can a man marry?" "Sixteen," the boy responded.

Like the Priest said: 4 better, 4 worse, 4 richer, 4 poorer."

ENTRANCE HYMN

GOD OF DAY and GOD OF DARKNESS

God of day and God of darkness, Now we stand before the night; As the shadows stretch and deepen, Come and make our darkness bright. All creation still is groaning for the dawning of your might, When the Sun of peace and justice Fills the earth with radiant light.

Show us Christ in one another, Make us servants strong and true; Give us all your love of justice, So we do what you would do. Let us call all people holy, Let us pledge our lives anew, Make us one with all the lowly, Let us all be one in you.

You shall be the path that guides us, You the light that in us burns; Shining deep within all people, Yours the love that we must learn For our hearts shall wander restless ‘til they safe to you return; Finding you in one another, We shall all your face discern.

GLORIA Glory to God in the highest, and on earth

peace to people of good will.

We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you we give you thanks for your great glory. Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father.

Lord Jesus Christ, only begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us.

For you alone are the holy one, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the most high, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen MEMORIAL ACCLAMATION When we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim your death, O Lord, until you come again.

LAMB OF GOD

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, Have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, Have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, Grant us peace. COMMUNION HYMN

A TRUSTING PSALM

CHORUS: Lord, let your mercy be on us As we place our trust in you.

The word of the Lord is faithfulness and love. His love can never be measured. His beauty is like nothing we have ever seen, So let us place our trust in him.

The word of the Lord means a patient, gentle God. His love can never grow weary. His mercy is as though our sins have never been, If we can place our trust in him.

The word of the Lord is fire burning strong. His love can never grow weary. His will seek and save the lost until we all return, So let us place our trust in him.

RECESSIONAL HYMN

BE THOU MY VISION

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art; Thou my best Thought, by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word; I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord; Thou and Thou only, first in my heart; Great God of heaven, my treasure Thou art.

Great God of Heaven, my victory won, May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heav’n’s Sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
