ELEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME ( C )
JUNE 12, 2016
MASS INTENTIONS
FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Sunday Readings
The first reading is taken from 2 Samuel 12:7-10; 13. This incident
in the life of King David has been preserved in the Sacred Scripture
because it contains a lesson for all men. It shows us the weakness
of human nature, even in one so exalted as the king whom God had
placed over his people. At the same time it shows the infinite mercy
of God when he is dealing with a repentant sinner.
The second reading is from St. Paul to the Galatians 2:16; 19-21. He
is speaking here to Peter who had come to Antioch and had given
some scandal to the Gentile Christians.

The Gospel is from St. Luke 7:36-50. While the mercy of God for
sinners and the willingness, even eagerness, with which He welcomes back the sinner is the principal teaching in this gospel story,
most if not all of us, can be cheered by that teaching. But there are
two other lessons in it for us. The first lesson is that the pardoned
sinner should show gratitude to God. One of the greatest proofs of
gratitude is the firm resolution to avoid offending our good God
anymore. Do we really mean it when we solemnly promise in our
act of contrition in confession "never more to offend you and to
amend my life"?

9:00 am: Mass of Thanksgiving ……………..Souls in Purgatory

5:30 pm: Mass of Thanksgiving ……………Fabiola Louis-Jacques
There is great danger that we may make this promise out of habit
of routine, without seriously intending or meaning what we say.
Non-Catholics often accuse us of hypocrisy in this. "You Catholics
can sin and just tell it in confession, be forgiven, and go back and
sin again." This is not so. The priest's power to forgive sin, given by
Christ himself, has effect only on a repentant sinner. If one goes to
confession with serious sins and has no intention of avoiding those
sins and the occasions which cause them, that person is not only
not forgiven, but is adding a further sin by abusing and insulting
God in that great gift of His mercy, the Sacrament of Penance. Such
cases are rare, thank God. We are repentant and we mean to avoid
such sins in future. However, the fact that one may fall again is always possible. This does not prove the previous confession to be
invalid. But the person's attempts to avoid the occasions will be
proof of sincere repentance. It will also be a sign of gratitude to the
merciful God who forgave the sins.
Saturday, June 18th
9:00 am: Memorial Mass………………………... Olga Zephirin
Now there was a sinful woman in the city who learned that
he was at table in the house of the Pharisee. Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment, she stood behind him at his feet
weeping and began to bathe his feet with her tears. Then she
wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed them
with the ointment (Luke 7:37-38).
O God, strength of those who hope in you, graciously hear
our pleas, and, since without you mortal frailty can do nothing, grant us always the help of your grace, that in following
your commands we may please you by our resolve and our
deeds. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and
reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for
ever and ever.
The second reading is for those amongst us who succeed, thanks to
God's grace, in avoiding serious sins. We must avoid the sin of the
Pharisees. They were, on the whole, devout men and did many a
good deed. However, they gave all the credit, not to God, but to
themselves. They grew proud of their good works and despised all
others who did not do as they did.
Weekly Readings
Sun: Psalm 32:1,2,5,7,11; 2 Samuel 7-10,13; Galatians 2: 16,19-21;
Luke 7: 36-8:3 or 7: 36-50

Tue: Psalm 51: 3-6,11,16; 1Kings 21: 17-29; Matthew 5: 43-48
Wed: Psalm 31 : 20,21,24; 2 Kings 2:1, 6-14; Matthew 6: 1-6,16-18
Thurs: Psalm 97: 1-7; Sirach 48: 1-14; Matthew 6: 7-15
Fri: Psalm 132: 11-14,17,18; 2 Kings 11:1-4,9-18,20; Matthew 6: 1923
Sat: Psalm 89:4,529-34; 2 Chronicles 24: 17-25; Matthew 6:24-34
The good Christian must avoid any such temptation. We must never
say, as the Pharisee did, "thank God I am not like the rest of men,
tax-gatherers and sinners," but rather say what the saints said
when they saw or heard of some great sinner: "there would be St.
Francis only for the grace of God."

2 Samuel 12: 7-10.13
Psaume 32, 2-5, 7, 11
Galates 2 : 16. 19-21
Luc 7 : 36- 8 :3
Mes frères et sœurs en Jésus-Christ, la foi en la miséricorde de Dieu qui ne désire rien tant que pardonner tes
péchés s’exprime tout au long de la Bible en images et
termes variées, parfois d’une audace extraordinaire. Le
pardon accorde par Dieu est, en même temps, d’une efficacité créatrice. Il change le cœur de celui qui l’accueille,
crée en lui un cœur pur, le renouvelle au plus profond de
son être (Ps 50,12). Seul le Créateur peut pardonner ainsi.
La Bible ne laisse aucun doute à ce sujet, pas plus, d’ailleurs, que le Sacrement de la pénitence et de la réconciliation d’aujourd’hui. La parole de pardon fait toujours
appel à l’autorité souveraine de Dieu : « Le Seigneur a
pardonné ton péché. »
S’il s’était contente de prêcher la miséricorde divine, et
d’exhorter les pécheurs à la conversion, Jésus aurait parlé comme les prophètes. Mais à une pècheresse venue
dans la maison du pharisien qui l’a invité. Il déclare :
« Tes péchés sont pardonnés. Ta foi t’a sauvée. »Il y a la
bien des sujets d’étonnement audace de cette femme qui
entre dans la maison d’un « pur », son comportement
plus encore la parole de Jésus qui pardonne les péchés.
Les chrétiens auxquels s’adresse est évangile pourraient être tentés de contempler cette scène comme de
loin, en se laissant seulement imprégner par les sentiments qu’elle suscite. Ils s’indigneraient alors de la réaction du pharisien sans penser à celle qu’ils auraient si une
telle femme entrant dans l’église où est célébrée l’Eucharistie, allait, sans rien dire ni se préoccuper de ceux qui
sont là, s’agenouiller en pleurs au pied de l’autel et y faire
brûler un encens de grand prix. Oublierions-nous que
tous, dans l’assemblée réunie autour de la Table du Seigneur, nous sommes des pécheurs pardonnés par la foi
en Jésus-Christ, et non à cause de nos mérites ou de nos
bonnes actions ?
L’attitude de Jésus invite chacun à purifier le regard
porté sur les autres. Lui, le Juste, il n’humilie pas les pécheurs, mais les accueille avec une extrême délicatesse. Il
sait que l’amour de Dieu peut être grand même chez les
pécheurs, d’autant plus grand qu’ils ont été pardonnés de
nombreux péchés.
N’oublions jamais que, l’Eucharistie est action de grâce
pour l’infinie miséricorde de Dieu révélée en Jésus-Christ
dont tous et toutes ont à proclamer la Bonne Nouvelle.
Rev. Paul Charly Chery
