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
I thank You, Lord,
for the comfort of Your presence:
even in mes of loneliness,
You are my hope and my condence,
You have been my rock and my fortress since my youth!
I thank You for having given me a family
and for having blessed me with a long life.
I thank You for moments of joy and diculty,
for the dreams that have already come true in my life and for
those that are sll ahead of me.
I thank You for this me of renewed fruiulness
to which You call me.
Increase, O Lord, my faith,
make me a channel of your peace,
teach me to embrace those who suer more than me,
to never stop dreaming
and to tell of your wonders to new generaons.
Protect and guide Pope Leo and the Church,
that the light of the Gospel might reach the ends of the earth.
Send Your Spirit, O Lord, to renew the world,
That the poor be consoled and wars ended.
Sustain me in weakness
and help me to live life to the full
in each moment that You give me,
in the certainty that you are with me every day,
even unl the end of the age.
Amen.

You have asked for wisdom.
--
My part, I have resolved, O Lord,
is to obey your word.
The law from your mouth means more to me
than silver and gold.
Let your love be ready to console me
by your promise to your servant.
Let your love come to me and I shall live
for your law is my delight.
That is why I love your commands
more than nest gold.
That is why I rule my life by your precepts:
I hate false ways .
Your will is wonderful indeed;
therefore I obey it.
The unfolding of your word gives light
and teaches the simple.

REFLECTION by Dianne Bergant CSA
Two themes seem to weave through the readings for this
Sunday: treasure and delight. The treasure is the
extraordinary gi that comes from God; the delight is the
joy that we experience when we realise that the treasure
is ours. A third theme, which is found in the rst reading,
picks up a theme that we have considered several mes
during this period of Ordinary Time, namely, service of
others.
The treasure is the kingdom of heaven. It is the prize that
gives meaning to the present, and its fullest delight draws
us into the future. The reign of God is the fullment of our
deepest desires and our fondest hopes. Nothing in the
world can compare with it, and that is why we are willing
to sacrice everything to aain it. The treasure that we
nd is really a gi that is given. We need not work to
aain the kingdom, nor can we earn it in any way. It is
given to us by God. All we have to do is accept it.
Solomon chose to be of service to others. In this he is a
model for disciples to follow. We have discovered the
treasure in the eld; we have found the pearl of great
price. What we have been given, we must now give to
others. In giving we will lose nothing. In fact, we gain an
abundance of blessings. All things work for good, and God
is gloried in all. Such is the character of the kingdom of
God.
