Dear friends in Christ,
M 13
If last weekend outside was any indication,
summer is most certainly upon us! I am sure
that most of you would agree that having the
air conditioning installed this past December
and January was a good investment. Thank
you to all who were involved in the HVAC
replacement.

The summer months for most of us means life
slows down a bit: religious education &
sacramental prep classes are finished, school
is out, college students are home, and BBQ’s
and vacations are planned. If you plan on
traveling this summer, don’t forget to include
Sunday Mass in your itinerary! If you are not
sure where the nearest Catholic church is as
you roam about, check out MassTimes.org
online for the Mass nearest you! May everyone
have a safe and enjoyable summer!

at the foot of the Catalina Mountains to check up on Dan & Helen Nunez on their recently purchased 2 1/2 acre plot
and to see their new modular home. Dan had prepared a spot next to the house to back in our 5h wheel complete
with all "full hookup" amenities! Being back in the warmer climate has been good for them both! They asked us to
extend their greetings to their St. Paul family and to invite any who travel their way to stop in for a visit...mailing

Wednesday Movie: The Princess Bride: A kindly grandfather sits down with his ill grandson and reads
him a story. The story is one that has been passed down from father to son for generations. As the
grandfather reads the story, the action comes alive. The story is a classic tale of love and adventure as
the beautiful Buttercup, engaged to the odious Prince Humperdinck, is kidnapped and held against her
will in order to start a war. It is up to Westley (her childhood beau, now returned as the Dread Pirate
Roberts) to save her. On the way he meets a thief and his hired helpers, an accomplished swordsman
and a huge, super strong giant, both of whom become Westley's companions in his quest.
Next Wednesday: Remember the Titans

2 LIBRO DE SAMUEL: 12, 7 – 10. 13
La escena destaca sobre todo la misericordia de Dios para con el pecador arrepentido. Así, la misericordia es una
prueba más de cómo ama Dios al hombre, como en el caso de David.
Por qué has despreciado tú la palabra del Señor, haciendo lo que a él le parece mal? Mataste a
espada a Urías el hitita y te quedaste con su mujer.”
David no se portó bien; no se hizo acreedor de los favores divinos; abusó de su poder; no se hizo uso recto de los
dones, que Dios le había dado.
SAN PABLO A LOS GALATAS: 2, 16. 19 – 21
Hermanos, como sabemos que el hombre no es justificado por las obras de la Ley, sino por la fe en
Jesucristo, hemos creído en él, para ser justificados por la fe Cristo y no por las obras de la Ley: en efecto,
nadie será justificado en virtud de las obras de la Ley. Ahora bien, si al buscar nuestra justificación en Cristo,
resulta que también nosotros somos pecadores, entonces Cristo está al servicio del pecado. Esto no puede
ser, porque si me pongo a reconstruir lo que he destruido, me declaro a mí mismo transgresor de la Ley.
Pero en virtud de la Ley, he muerto a la Ley, a fin de vivir para Dios. Yo estoy crucificado con Cristo, y ya no
vivo yo, sino que Cristo vive en mí: la vida que sigo viviendo en la carne, la vivo en la fe en el Hijo de Dios,
que me amó y se entregó por mí.
SAN LUCAS: 7, 36 –8, 3
7, 36 - 50 .
Esta es una mujer que había decidido seguir a Jesús. No dice una palabra, pero habla con sus acciones. Es una mujer
detallista. Tiene disposición e iniciativa. Va decidida. Entra en una casa donde no es bienvenida. De acuerdo a las costumbres de
esos tiempos, lo que hace con respecto a Jesús, socialmente hablando, es inapropiado. Esta mujer expresa sus emociones y
agradecimiento. Está llorando. El llanto refleja lo que siente en el interior. Posiblemente recordaba sus pecados. Se desborda a los
pies de Jesús enjugándolos con su cabello y ungiéndolos con perfume. Es una acción que es indicio de profundo agradecimiento. Al
hacer esto, toma el rol del anfitrión. Jesús mismo lo dice más adelante en la narración. Y no lo hizo porque alguien se lo ordenó,
como se les ordenaba a las personas sirvientes; lo hizo porque fue movida por lo que había en su corazón. En su corazón había
agradecimiento. En adición, ella fue más allá del protocolo que se esperaba de Simón, el anfitrión.
En vez de usar una vasija con agua y una toalla como era la costumbre de esos tiempos, utilizó sus propias lágrimas y su
cabello para lavar y secar los pies de Jesús. Se esperaba que el anfitrión besara a su huésped; ella besó fervientemente los pies de
Jesús.
REFLEXION
El evangelio de hoy nos habla del episodio de la mujer que fue acogida por Jesús durante una comida en casa de Simón,
el fariseo. Uno de los aspectos de la novedad que la Buena Nueva de Dios trae es la actitud sorprendente de Jesús
hacia las mujeres.
En la época del Nuevo Testamento, la mujer vivía marginada. No participaba en la
sinagoga, no podéis ser testigo en la vida pública.
Muchas mujeres, sin embargo, se resistían contra
esa exclusión. Lc 7,36-50 “Tu fe te ha salvado. Vete en paz”. El Señor es capaz de mirar en la profundidad de nuestro
corazón y de nuestra alma. No hay nada que podamos ocultarle, porque allí, donde todos somos uno, Él lo sabe todo.
¿Por qué siempre estamos fijándonos con envidia a los demás? Que si les es más fácil, que si recibieron más, que si
tienen menos penas, menos dolor, menos sufrimiento. ¡Qué sabemos nosotros de lo que anida en los corazones de
nuestros hermanos!
¡No juzguemos! ¡Demos siempre lo mejor de lo que podemos, lo mejor de nosotros, lo mejor que tenemos, sin
mirar a quien, sin detenernos a ver si lo merece o no! ¡No somos quién para juzgar y decidir lo que cada quien merece!
Fijémonos en nuestros pies, en nuestras manos, en nuestros sentidos, en nuestros pensamientos, en nuestros
corazones. Escojamos siempre lo mejor, lo bueno, lo que nos hace santos…el servicio humilde, sin esperar recompensa,
ni compensación, que Dios que lo ve y sabe todo, sabrá apreciarlo.
Pongamos nuestra mirada en Él y hagamos todo por Él y para Él. Hay algo más que deseo comentar respecto
a este pasaje, y es el poder que tiene el Señor de purificarnos, de perdonarnos. No sólo puede curar nuestros cuerpos y
aliviar nuestras penas, sino también limpiar nuestras almas, concediéndonos el perdón de todos nuestros pecados.
Él no pierde la esperanza en nosotros y sin importar cuan pecadores somos, sin reparar en nuestras faltas, sin importar
cuan grandes o cuan pequeñas sea y sin distinción, nos concede el perdón, para que andemos por la vida como niños,
inmaculados, brillantes como el sol. Él alivia nuestras cargas, nuestros pesares, nuestros errores, nuestras ofensas,
nuestras metidas de pata, nuestros pecados y nos alienta a seguir por el camino del bien, dejando esa carga pesada en
sus manos, para que puedas decir: “Hoy es el primer día del resto de tu vida.
