Conversations about Dying, Death and
Bereavement.
All of us experience in our life moments of loss and grief; mes
when we are reminded of the reality of death and how we respond.
Many people fear death, are not sure what to say to someone who
is grieving, or know what to do when someone close to them dies.
Beginning late July/early August (on a Saturday morning),
Centacare in conjuncon with Fr Paul Devi from the Mudgee
Parish are oering an opportunity for guided and gentle
Conversaons on Death, Dying and Bereavement in Mudgee. Over
four sessions we will journey together through topics such as
mourning, grief, and death, to praccalies (funeral planning etc),
risks (complex grief), self-care and spirituality.
This Conversaon program allows, over a cuppa, you to express
your views, to hear other’s views, and to learn what the Church
teaches around these dicult topics. There is no fee for this
program.
If you would like to discuss the program more or express your
interest in being part of these Conversaons, please call Louise
Hennessy from Centacare 0419 631 781
Mercy In Acon will be inving students to knit a square.
The squares will be sewn together to make blankets for
our local residents in need. Students will be taught the
skills they need.
Please donate any wool or needles to the front oce.
Gracious God,
be close to our Year 12 students as they prepare for their
HSC Trial Examinaons. Give them focus when they study,
calm when they feel overwhelmed and courage when they
doubt themselves. Help them trust in their preparaon,
support one another and face each exam with condence.
Remind them that they are deeply valued and that no
result can dene their worth.
Amen.

REFLECTION by Fr Michael Tate
A pagan woman approaches a Jewish man and she begs
Jesus to heal her daughter.
Jesus gives a dismissive answer to the woman: ‘It is not fair
to take the children’s bread and throw it to the house dogs.’
The children are obviously the Jewish people.
This remarkable pagan woman stands her ground and
engages in a verbal joust with Jesus! She argues: ‘Yes, Lord,
but even the house dogs get the crumbs that fall from their
master’s table.’
Jesus recognises her faith and the daughter was healed. This
story was put in the Gospels to show how Jesus extended
his saving mission to non-Jews in Pagan territory.
That is Good News for billions of non-Jewish people over the
course of history since then and into the future. That is why
we are truly ‘Catholic’, which, as you know, is the Greek for
‘world-wide’.
We could pause for a moment to celebrate this Canaanite
woman as the rst ‘Catholic’!
