r Read ng Proverbs 8:22-31
Wisdom was born before the earth was made.
Responsorial Psalm: Ps 8:4-9. R. v.2
(R.) O Lord, our God,
how wonderful your name in all the earth!
When I see the heavens, the work of your hands,
the moon and the stars which you arranged,
what is man that you should keep him in mind,
mortal man that you care for him? (R.)
Yet you have made him lile less than a god;
with glory and honour you crowned him,
gave him power over the works of your hand,
put all things under his feet. (R.)
All of them, sheep and cale,
yes, even the savage beasts,
birds of the air, and sh
that make their way through the waters. (R.)
Second Reading: Romans 5:1-5
To God through Christ in the love which is poured out through
the Spirit.
Gospe Acc amaon
Alleluia, alleluia!
Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit:
to God who is, who was, and who is to come.
Alleluia!
Gospel
Whatever the Father has is mine. The Spirit will receive what I
give and tell you about it.

REFLECTION by Dianne Bergant CSA
Both the rst reading and the psalm response celebrate the
marvels of creaon and the marvelous creator who brought them
into being. Proverbs states that God created all of these things
through Wisdom. While later theology will idenfy Wisdom with
both the Word of God, the second person of the Trinity, and the
Holy Spirit, the third person, the reading itself does not suggest
this.
Paul credits God with our juscaon through faith. Juscaon or
salvaon is accomplished by God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
The love of God is poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
Paul does not clearly state that the love of God that we receive
through the Holy Spirit sances us, but one could certainly
understand it in this way.
John’s theology resembles very closely that of Paul. In it, Jesus
reveals the inmate connecon between himself and the Father as
well as himself and the Spirit. The Spirit connues the mission of
Jesus, neither adding anything to his teaching nor oming
anything from it.
While this is a feast that glories the central mystery of our faith, a
mystery that is based on the way the three divine persons relate to
each other, the readings all address ways that God relates to us. If
we concentrate, as the texts for today suggest that we do, on all of
the ways that our Triune God has blessed us, we may be more
inclined to cry out with the psalmist: ‘O Lord, our God, how
wonderful your name in all the earth!’

Planned Giving
As we approach the end on another nancial year, we express our
sincere gratude to all parishioners who have supported our
parishes nancially over this past year.
Without your nancial support, we can not connue to do what
we are called by God to do—look aer the pastoral life and
outreach of our parishes which is our most important ministry.
To do this we must pay the everyday running cost of electricity,
rates, salaries, the increasing insurance cost and aend to the
maintenance of our buildings and grounds.
Over the next few weeks, we will be asking you to commit to or re
-commit to Planned Giving. We are asking for everyone to ll in a
new Giving Card. The Planned Giving helps the parish plan for
maintenance and repairs of our beauful buildings and grounds.
New Giving cards are available at the back of the church or from
the Parish Oce.
