Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time June 12, 2016 I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me. — Galatians 2:20 HOPE AND FORGIVENESS There were some interesting conceptions of sin prevalent in the time of the Hebrew scriptures. There was the belief that God punished sin immediately. Those who suffered disease or misfortune were, therefore, sinners getting their due from the Almighty. Today’s first reading hints at another kind of God. When David admits his sin, Nathan declares, “The LORD on his part has forgiven your sin” (2 Samuel 12:13b). Here was not a vengeful God but a merciful God. What good news that must have been to David and those who, like him, could be honest enough to admit their sinfulness! Jesus is the good news of God’s mercy and forgiveness incarnate. Without Jesus, perhaps the good news would have been too good to believe, too difficult to imagine. But there he is in today’s Gospel, the God-man, forgiving a sinner and declaring that she is forgiven because of her great love. There is hope, then, for the rest of us sinners, if only we love enough! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The LORD forgives David for taking the wife of Uriah, and for having Uriah killed (2 Samuel 12:7-10, 13). Psalm — Lord, forgive the wrong I have done (Psalm 32). Second Reading — If justification comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing (Galatians 2:16, 19-21). Gospel — Jesus forgives the woman because of her great love (Luke 7:36 — 8:3 [7:36-50]).

DID YOU KNOW? Implement safety rules for kids going to summer camp Summer camp is a time-honored tradition for kids. Whether it’s an all-day camp or cabin sleepaway, kids can get out of the house, learn new skills, and make friends. Parents who send their kids off to camp should be sure to research the camp and the counselors who will be watching their kids. If your child is going to sleep-away camp, check in by phone or mail regularly. Ask questions and ensure that your child is safe and cared for at any camp. For a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Summer Camp Preparation” email [email protected] or call (213) 637-7227.

¿SABÍA USTED? Implemente reglas de seguridad para niños que van a campamentos de verano El campamento de verano es una larga tradición para los niños. Ya sea que se trate de un campamento de un solo día o uno de varios días o meses en una cabaña, los niños pueden dejar la casa, aprender nuevas capacidades, y hacer amistades. Los padres de familia que envían a sus hijos a estos campamentos deben asegurarse de investigar el campamento y a los consejeros que estarán cuidando a sus hijos. Si su hijo/hija va a ir a un campamento de varios días, llame y escriba correos electrónicos a su hijo/hija con regularidad. Haga preguntas y asegúrese de que su niño/niña esté seguro(a) y bien cuidado(a) en cualquier tipo de campamento. Para una copia del artículo de VIRTUS®, “Summer Camp Preparation” (Preparación para campamento de verano) envíe un correo electrónico a [email protected] o llame al (213) 637-7508.

PROFLIGATE? I’d rather be a beggar and spend my last dollar like a king, than be a king and spend my money like a beggar. —Robert G. Ingersoll

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Last week’s “Treasure” no doubt raised an eyebrow or two with the image of the deacons scurrying through the streets of Rome, or perhaps galloping on horseback, with fragments of eucharistic bread from the bishop’s liturgy. These would be dropped into the chalice at outlying celebrations, presided over by presbyters, to express unity with the bishop, and perhaps also to remind the presbyters that they were not free agents. The Council of Laodicea forbade the custom of the fermentum in the year 348. Generally, one of the rules of interpreting law is that people don’t make laws about things that aren’t happening. So, by mid-fourth century, we have an important clue that what had once been a Roman custom had become widespread. Interestingly, when the Church of England (and its related bodies) went through a liturgical renewal in the mid-nineteenth century, they reclaimed this custom from the mists of history. Today, it is the custom in some Anglican dioceses for a fragment of the host from the bishop’s Holy Week liturgy (what we call the Chrism Mass) to be carried to every parish. On “Maundy Thursday” (our Holy Thursday), the fragment is dropped into the chalice to signify the parish’s communion with the bishop. This modern revival of the fermentum is different from the “co-mingling” action we are used to, in which a fragment of the consecrated bread is dropped into the chalice just before Communion. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En 1910, cuatro años antes de iniciar el Día de las Madres, el pueblo de Estados Unidos empezó a celebrar ocasionalmente un día para los padres de familia. Pero, no fue hasta 1972 que se fijó un día oficial para el papá. Poco a poco esta fecha del segundo domingo de junio se ha ido expandiendo al resto del mundo con algunas excepciones. En Italia por ejemplo, la fiesta del padre se celebra el 19 de marzo, día de san José. Durante la Revolución Industrial del siglo diecinueve, José, esposo de María recibió su primera fiesta oficial. La Iglesia, preocupada por el ingreso del padre a las fábricas, propuso a este santo varón como ejemplo de lo que los padres deben ser en la vida de sus hijos e hijas; ejemplos de fe, ternura y trabajo. Aún en nuestro tiempo, el Rito del Bautismo de niños insiste que el padre, junto con la madre, deben ser los mayores maestros de sus hijos. Al igual que José, el papá debe cuidar y proteger a su familia, enseñarle a los niños a trabajar y ser honestos para el bien de la familia y la sociedad. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J.

12 de junio de 2016 Undécimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 12 de junio de 2016 Vivo, pero ya no soy yo el que vive, es Cristo quien vive en mí. — Gálatas 2:20 ESPERANZA Y PERDÓN Había algunas concepciones interesantes sobre el pecado que prevalecían en la época de las Escrituras hebreas. Estaba la creencia de que Dios castigaba inmediatamente el pecado. Los que sufrían alguna enfermedad o desgracia eran, por lo tanto, pecadores que recibían su merecido del Todopoderoso. La primera lectura de hoy nos muestra a otro tipo de Dios. Cuando David admite su pecado, Natán declara: “El Señor te perdona tu pecado” (2 Samuel 12:13b). Aquí no hay un Dios vengativo sino un Dios misericordioso. ¡Qué buena nueva debe haber sido eso para David y para los que, como él, eran lo suficientemente honestos como para admitir su pecado! Jesús es la buena nueva de la misericordia y el perdón de Dios hecho carne. Sin Jesús, quizás la buena nueva hubiera sido demasiado buena como para creerla, demasiado difícil de imaginar. Pero allí está en el Evangelio de hoy, el Dios-hombre, perdonando a una pecadora y declarando que está perdonada debido a su gran amor. ¡Hay esperanza, entonces, para el resto de nosotros pecadores, si tan sólo amamos lo suficiente! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — El Señor perdona a David por haber tomado a la esposa de Urías y por haberlo matado (2 Samuel 12:7-10, 13). Salmo — Perdona, Señor, nuestros pecados (Salmo 32 [31]). Segunda lectura — Si la justificación viene por la ley, entonces Cristo murió en vano (Gálatas 2:16, 19-21). Evangelio — Jesús perdonó a la mujer por su gran amor (Lucas 7:36 — 8:3 [7:36-50]).

PERDÓN Perdonar es dar libertad al prisionero y descubrir que el prisionero soy yo. —Anónimo
