UNDICESIMA DOMENICA DEL TEMPO ORDINARIO
Il pranzo a cui Gesù è invitato nel Vangelo di oggi, invece di essere
un'occasione per incontrarsi e dialogare, lo accolgono per colpirlo, gli
parlano con l'odio nel cuore. La prostituta è accolta ancora peggio di
Gesù. Chiusi nel loro conformismo, i convitati sono incapaci di
accostare l'intrusa. Gesù invece le va incontro, e il loro dialogo si
sostituisce ai riti tradizionali di purificazione dei peccati.
ELEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
In today’s readings, two clearly guilty people, David and the “sinful
woman,” found God’s mercy. Paul’s testimony of being justified not by
“the law” but by “faith” retraced his own journey of conversion. David
and the woman also found new paths. David repented; the woman loved.
Forgiveness is not only something we seek. God has already accomplished
it through Christ. All we need to do is accept it – and love.

"You did not anoint my
head with oil, but she anointed my feet with ointment. So I tell you, her
many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love. But the one
to whom little is forgiven, loves little." - Lk 7:46-47
COMFORT AND CONSOLATION
A Pastoral letter from
the Maryland Bishops concerning Care of the Sick and Dying:
The letter, released on June
6, 2007, concerns the end of life and the often difficult decisions that
present themselves as we approach the final days of our natural lives. It
is intended for all Maryland Catholics, but especially for those
individuals and families who care for a loved one facing terminal illness
or imminent death, for those of us who are in ministry, and for members of
the caring professions.
Comfort & Consolation
illuminates Church teachings on life, illness, suffering, dying, death,
and resurrection. The Bishops believe it will help Maryland Catholics
think through – perhaps unable to make treatment decisions for themselves.
It comes with a practical four-page Catholic Declaration on Health Care
Decision Making, an advance directive developed in light of Catholic
teaching and in accord with Maryland law. The Declaration covers spiritual
support, medical care and treatment, nutrition and hydration, pain
relieving medication, imminent death from terminal illness, and pregnancy.
It also provides a form for use in appointing a health-care agent.
Comfort & Consolation and
the Catholic Declaration for Health Care Decision Making provide a solid
framework for thinking about your future health-care decision making and
the discussions you will want to have with your family and a person you
may choose to be your health-care agent should you become incapacitated.
The documents also provide sound guidance if you are asked to serve as a
health-care agent for a family member or friend. The Declaration is a
practical expression of our Catholic faith concerning end-of-life issues
and it is in accord with Maryland law on advance directives.

raffle prizes, snack at the turn, and a full lunch buffet including Lasagna

and the Casa Italiana Cultural Center in Washington, DC.
