Jesus said to his disciples: ‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that bears no fruit he cuts away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes to make it bear even more. You are pruned already, by means of the word that I have spoken to you. Make your home in me, as I make mine in you. As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself, but must remain part of the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me, with me in him, bears fruit in plenty; for cut off from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is like a branch that has been thrown away – he withers; these branches are collected and thrown on the fire, and they are burnt. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask what you will and you shall get it. It is to the glory of my Father that you should bear much fruit, and then you will be my disciples.’ ​GOSPEL UNPACKED – REFLECTION BY FR. MICHAEL TATE We are too familiar with today’s gospel. Christ is the vine and we are the branches, sometimes in need of a good pruning. But God’s purpose is not to produce a perfect vineyard. It is to produce a full-bodied wine at the end of history. There is a foretaste of this at every Mass. The wine we offer – ‘fruit of the earth and work of human hands’ – becomes the spiritual drink which best serves the purpose of our Heavenly Father. How does this happen? For the Jewish people observing an animal whose throat is cut, it is obvious that the life drains out with the blood. ‘Life’ and ‘blood’ became synonyms. So, when the Jewish Jesus says of the wine in the chalice at the Last Supper: ‘This is my blood’, amongst other things he is saying: ‘This is my life force, this is my very life given unreservedly for you.’ So, when we drink from the chalice at Holy Communion, the life of the Risen Lord courses through our bodies just as the sap of the vine courses through its branches. We share the same ultimate vitality so that our bodily existence builds into the Body of Christ. He becomes truly ‘full-bodied’ as the Divine Vigneron desires. We could take a moment to pray that we respond to the pruning and the tending and the pressing by our Heavenly Father so as to contribute our distinctive character to the vintage at the end of history, the spiritual drink of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Focus On Learning 

Getting the screentime balance right after a relaxing holiday ​by Martine Oglethorpe Here’s the thing. I don’t believe there is a magic number of hours a child should be ‘allowed’ or ‘not allowed’ screen time. There are many other more pertinent questions we should be asking about our kids’ screen time, aside from simply ‘how much?’. What are they doing on the screens? Are they safe? Are they engaging in positive interactions? Is their self-esteem intact, or are they comparing themselves to everyone else online who is (in their mind) smarter, prettier, skinnier or has more friends? Are they creating things or merely consuming? Are they in control? Are they able to put away a device without a tantrum? These are just some of the things we should be looking at when it comes to our kids’ use of their screens. Which is not to say that the amount of time spent on screens is irrelevant. It is still valid to be concerned about how much time screens are consuming of your children’s days. To help alleviate some of the concerns you may have, and to put some strategies in place, here are two things you can focus on when it comes to your kids and screen time. Are your child’s needs being met? - Sleep time, active time, socialising time - ​Use this as a guide and aim to fit the many key experiences our kids need into each day, we are much more likely to ensure our kids grow up with a healthy respect for their screens and a healthy respect for the many areas of their life that need to be nurtured. - ​Look at each individual child; - ​A boundary that works for one child may not work for another. Is your child in control of their screen use? Are they coming to the dinner table without a fight? Are they sleeping, eating, keeping up with friends? https://www.parentingideas.com.au/schools/insight/getting-screentime-balance-right/ Mr Anthony Matthews Acting Assistant Principal
