“Accept and submit to the word that has been planted in you and can save your souls”.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus challenges the Pharisees and Scribes who are concerned only with external rules and regulations. They forget what is really important. It’s what’s in our hearts and what flows from our hearts that matters. There in the depths of our heart, God’s word and God’s love has been planted, and it’s from that wellspring of love that the Lord invites us to live out our daily lives. As we return to the routine of a new school year, help us, Lord to listen to your word of love in our hearts and so journey together as a community of love and compassion.

TAX RECLAIM FORMS FOR 2008
We again thank all the parishioners who returned their Tax Reclaim Forms for 2007 earlier this year. The tax reclaim has been made and received as already published.
These reclaims have to be made separately for each year and we recently sent out the forms for last year—i.e. the year ended December 31st 2008. We again appeal to anyone who got those forms or anyone who believes they are in that category to please return the CHY2 forms as soon as possible so that the relevant tax for 2008 can be reclaimed. We thank you for your co-operation in this scheme.
