2 Samuel 5:1-3
They anointed David king of Israel.
Ps 121:1-5. R. see v.2
(R.) Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
I rejoiced when I heard them say:
‘Let us go to God’s house.’
And now our feet are standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is built as a city
strongly compact.
It is there that the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord.
For Israel’s law it is,
there to praise the Lord’s name.
There were set the thrones of judgement
of the house of David.
Colossians 1:12-20
He has taken us into the kingdom of his beloved Son.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Blessed is he who inherits the kingdom of David our
Father;
blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Alleluia!
Lord remember me when you come into your
kingdom.

JUBILEE YEAR OF
HOPE
WORLD YOUTH DAY
REFLECTION
by Dianne Bergant CSA
This feast celebrates the power and
authority of Christ by creang a collage of
images that capture one or more
characteriscs of Christ’s kingship. Each
image reinterprets the concept of king,
invesng it with new meaning. Gathered
together they create a kind of litany that
extols the kingship of Christ.
Shepherd and commander call to mind the care and protecon
that Christ lavishes on those who place themselves under his
care. King of Israel is a sign of universal rule. Image of the
Invisible God acclaims the divine origin of Christ and of the rule
that he exercises over all. First born of all Creaon places Christ
over the enre created world. Source of all Created Things
acknowledges both the sovereignty of Christ and his importance
as the model aer which all things were fashioned. Head of the
Body, the Church underscores the inmacy and
interrelaonship that exist between Christ and all those who are
joined to him through faith and bapsm. Firstborn of the Dead
not only acclaims Christ’s resurrecon, but it also guarantees
the resurrecon of those who will follow him into death.
Crucied King is clearly the image that reinterprets all other
images.
The enre liturgical year is brought to compleon in the last
words of the gospel: ‘Today you will be with me in Paradise.’
These are the words that we all long to hear, words that are
empty when coming from one who has no authority, but
charged with power when spoken by the one who is king over
us all.

Distribuon of items to descendants of donors
The recent sale of St Mahew’s Church Botobolar was for the
church only. None of the items in the church formed part of
the sale.
There are many items in the church that I would like to return
to the descendants of the donors of those items.
To facilitate the return of these items, I plan to open the
church and enable present and former Botobolar residents
who worshipped in St Mahews to collect any items that your
descendants donated to the church.
I invite you to meet at St Mahews on:
Please communicate this informaon to any family or friends
that you are aware of that may wish to be present at this
meeng.
If it is not possible to be at the meeng in person, you may
wish to nominate a local resident to act on your behalf to
collect the item that you descendants donated.
