TheLordsPrayerfeaturesprominentlyintheliturgical
and prayer life of the Churchwe never celebrate a
majorliturgywithoutprayingtheLordsPrayer,andit
features prominently in many of the popular spiritual
pracces that have existed down through the
centuries.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church provides a very

insighul commentary on the Lords Prayer (see
arcles 2759 to 2865), and one which I would highly
recommend reading through in a prayerful manner.
Given that Im not normally one to recommend
readingtheCatechismitisaworkofreferenceaer
allI think you can see that I consider its treatment
of the Lords Prayer to be of signicance for all who
wishtounderstandthisprayerthatisattheveryheart
ofallChrisanprayer.

AswehearthestoryoftheoriginoftheLordsPrayer

wordsthatcomefromthemouthofJesushimself.

Australias Asylum Seekers Policy

At the risk of being accused of being polical (which I
am, just not party polical) I would draw your
aenon to the recent statement of the Australian
CatholicMigrantandRefugeeOceonthetreatment
ofthosewhoseekasyluminAustralia.

The Australian Catholic Migrant and Refugee Oce

(ACMRO),anagencyoftheAustralianCatholicBishops
Oce, released a statement on 22nd July calling for
Australia's asylum seeker policies to be "inspired by
the centrality of human dignity and the obligaon to
care for our brothers and sisters who, in their
desperaon,askforourwelcomeandassistance".

Faith and hope are inseparable in the hearts of many

an unpromising future. During their journey many of
them are sustained by the deep trust that God never
abandonshischildren;thiscertaintymakesthepainof
their uproong and separaon more tolerable and
even gives them the hope of eventually returning to
their country of origin. Faith and hope are oen

So that we might receive Communion in a t and
properway,pleasebeawareofthefollowing:

When we process forward to receive Communion,

we have been asked by the Australian Bishops to
adopt a common and unied gesture of reverence
before doing so. In Australia that gesture is a bow
of the head and shoulders (GIRM, 160). Any other
formofreverence,includingagenuecon,should
thereforebeavoided.
Communion by selfinncon (selfdipping) is
neverpermied,sincewereceiveCommunionand
never take Communion. Please refrain from this
inappropriateacon.
We regret that we do not have the physical
facilies to oer communion while kneeling, and
respecully ask you to refrain from kneeling to
receive Communion while part of the procession,
since this is contrary to the nature of the
Communion procession itself. Your cooperaon in
honouring this request is very much appreciated,
andwethankyouforyourconsideraon.
