4th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A Matthew 5:1-12
‘Blessed are the poor in spirit.’
At that time: Seeing the crowds, Jesus went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
St Boniface RCIA! This Weekend we will have a Rite of Welcome for those participating in the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults). These are adults seeking to be joined in Full Communion with the Catholic Church. Some will be seeking Baptism and Confirmation in the Catholic Church; while some may have been Baptised in another Christian tradition and are therefore seeking Confirmation, while some may have been baptised in the Catholic Faith but have not yet received the Sacrament of Confirmation. We pray for them all, that the Lord will bless and strengthen them all on their journey of Faith.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And you shall renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray.
O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

This parish serves the Catholic community living in Shirley, Freemantle and beyond, as well as those who choose to make this church their spiritual home.
This community aspires to share and celebrate our faith in Jesus Christ with others; to offer the hand of friendship as a welcoming community; to see and respond to the suffering flesh of Christ near and far; and to sustain through the celebration of the Sacraments the shared purpose and common mind of this faith community.
