First Reading A reading from the book of Deuteronomy Dt 4:32-40 ‘The Lord God loved your ancestors and chose their descendants after them.’ Moses said to the people: ‘Put this question to the ages that are past, that went before you, from the time God created man on earth: Was there ever a word so majestic, from one end of heaven to the other? Was anything ever heard? Did ever a people hear the voice of the living God speaking from the heart of the fire, as you heard it, and remain alive? Has any god ventured to take to himself one nation from the midst of another by ordeals, signs, wonders, war with mighty hand and outstretched arm, by fearsome terrors – all this that the Lord your God did for you before your eyes in Egypt? ‘This he showed you so that you might know that the Lord is God indeed and that there is no other. He let you hear his voice out of heaven for your instruction; on earth he let you see his great fire, and from the heart of the fire you heard his word. Because he loved your fathers and chose their descendants after them, he brought you out from Egypt, openly showing his presence and his great power, driving out in front of you nations greater and more powerful than yourself, and brought you into their land to give it you for your heritage, as it is still today. ‘Understand this today, therefore, and take it to heart: the Lord is God indeed, in heaven above as on earth beneath, he and no other. Keep his laws and commandments as I give them to you today, so that you and your children may prosper and live long in the land that the Lord your God gives you for ever.’

Responsorial Psalm Ps 76: R. v.12 (R.) I remember the deeds of the Lord. 1. I remember the deeds of the Lord, I remember your wonders of old, I muse on all your works and ponder your mighty deeds. (R.) 2.Your ways, O God, are holy. What god is great as our God? You are the God who works wonders You showed your power among the peoples. (R.) 3. Your strong arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. You guided your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. (R.)

GOSPEL A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew What can anyone give in exchange for his life? Matthew 16: Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done. “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

Prayers of the Faithful For the Church, that she remains a beacon of hope and a voice for truth, justice and reconciliation in our world. Let us pray to the Lord. All:Lord, hear our prayer. For those in positions of public authority, that they may act responsibly and dutifully to ensure that the rights of all people are respected and protected. Let us pray to the Lord. All:Lord, hear our prayer. For those burdened by grief, suffering and loss, that they may feel God’s healing presence and be renewed with courage and hope. Let us pray to the Lord. All:Lord, hear our prayer.

For young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, that they grow to become strong leaders for us all, and strive to be the people that God wants them to be in all that they do. Let us pray to the Lord. All:Lord, hear our prayer. That those who suffered and died in faith may gain their heavenly reward. Let us pray to the Lord. All:Lord, hear our prayer.

Aboriginal Lord’s Prayer (Slightly adapted from the traditional words) You are our Father, You live in Heaven, We talk to You, Father, You are good. We believe your Word, Father, we your children, give us bread today. Others have done wrong to us And we are sorry for them, Father, today We have done wrong, We are sorry, Teach us Father, Not to sin again. Stop us from doing wrong Father save us all From the evil one. You are our Father, You live in Heaven We talk to You, Father You are good.
