The Scriptures this week
The liturgy – especially gathering for mass – remains the consummate, communal means for us to be sustained in our Easter living. There is no substitute for personal prayer, bur appreciation of the Eucharist is central, and included as vital in the Synodal renewal actions.

Mary’s Magnificat Prayer of Praise
My soul glorifies the Lord.
My spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.
He looks on his servant in my lowliness;
Henceforth all ages will call me blessed.
The Almighty works marvels for me, Holy his name!
His mercy is from age to age, on those who revere him.
God puts forth his arm in strength and scatters the proud-hearted.
He casts the mighty from their thrones and raises the lowly.
God fills the starving with good things, sends the rich away empty.
He protects Israel his servant, remembering his mercy,
the mercy promised to our ancestors, to Abraham and his offspring for ever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.

Lord, I thank you for the wonder of my being, and for all the goodness in my life.
I thank you that you have called me that I might make a difference in the world in which you have placed me.
