~ Pastor’s Column ~

The readings of the Eleventh Sunday give us an invitation to repent, do penance and renew our lives instead of carrying the heavy baggage of our sins. Our God is a God Who always tries, not to punish, but to rehabilitate sinners, so that we may be made whole and experience inner peace and harmony. The liturgy celebrates the fact of God’s forgiveness. In the first reading, David’s sincere repentance for his sins of murder, adultery and deceit is met by God’s gracious and loving pardon. The Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 51), has been regarded as David’s prayer of repentance. It includes an acknowledgment that the injustice done against another is a sin against God Himself: “having sinned against none other than You.” St. Paul, in the second reading, reminds us that it is by Faith in Jesus that we are saved. He says that it is the realization that Christ died for us and lives in us that should bring us to true repentance, leading to renewed life in Christ. Paul suggests that the experience of forgiveness is made available to all sinners through the saving cross of Jesus. Presenting the true conversion and repentance of a public sinner, the Gospel invites us to real repentance. Jesus challenges us through this Gospel episode to have a forgiving attitude to our neighbor and a deep awareness of our own personal need for God’s forgiveness. We need to accept the mercy of God: We are challenged to accept or reject the mercy of God. We often share Simon’s mentality, displaying an attitude of lovelessness and harshness. Let us remember that Simon’s self-sufficiency prevented him from acknowledging his need for the grace of God. Do we invite Jesus into our lives in the hope of gaining prestige? Or do we love him because he is the one and only Savior who has died for our sins? We need to be grateful to our forgiving God: As the repentant sinner showed her gratitude to Jesus by anointing his feet with tears and precious ointment, we too should show gratitude to God for unconditionally and repeatedly pardoning our sins. This is possible only if we try our best to keep the promises we make in our act of contrition in confession "to sin no more, and to avoid the near occasions of sin.” We need to cultivate a forgiving attitude towards our neighbor: Although it is not

Religious Education Corner Families Are Like Gardens, Help Them Grow!

If you stroll through the courtyard of Saint John the Evangelist Church, you will see the beautiful flowers recently planted that require nourishing to grow strong and vibrant. You will even see a small herb and vegetable garden! As a parish family, we have a unique opportunity to work together to nurture our faith and to learn about our wonderful parish minis-tries. I encourage our Religious Education and our Youth Ministry families to call or stop by the parish office to learn more about how you can take part in this parish gardening ministry! It’s a chance for you to meet and spend time with another member of our parish and to share what our Religious Education and our Youth Ministry programs mean to you and your family! Interested in volunteering to serve as a Catechist or Assistant Catechist? Our Religious Education Program is a journey to-ward a deeper understanding of our Catholic beliefs and traditions and our encounter with Jesus Christ. The gospel is passed from person to person, not book to book. The catechist who passes on the mes-sage of the gospel is OUR GIFT. The gospel tells the stories, but the catechist must make them real in the way they interact with our children and families. Please contact our Religious Education Office at SJE (914) 437-5144 and OLMC (914) 948-6834, option 2 to schedule a time to come in to complete a volunteer application as a first step. Other Religious Education Program Volunteer Opportunities:

Help in a class with special projects or be paired with a teacher to share ideas.

Substitute for a catechist. Help children with special needs. Plan liturgies for children. Plan programs and activities for adults. Office Assistance, Hall Monitors, Hospitality.

11er. Domingo Ordinario

“Tu fe te ha salvado, vete

en paz” Las lecturas de hoy nos hablan de arrepentimien-to y perdón. En la primera lectura vemos el caso de David y en el evangelio el de la mujer pecado-ra. David es el prototipo del pecador arrepentido. La lectura de hoy nos trae el momento en que Dios, a través del Profeta Natán le señala a David, su escogido, el doble y grave pecado que había co-metido: asesinato y adulterio. Y es importante ver que el pecado de David, aun-que perdonado por su sincero y doloroso arre-pentimiento tendrá consecuencias para él y su familia, entre otras, que “la muerte por espada no se apartará nunca de tu casa” y el hijo que había nacido de esa unión pecaminosa moriría. El evangelio nos narra el incidente de la mujer pecadora que se atreve a entrar en la casa de un fariseo que había invitado a Jesús a cenar. Una mujer de la mala vida entra, sin haber sido invita-da, y se coloca a los pies de Jesús, llorando sus pecados. Con sus lágrimas le lavó los pies, cosa que Simón, anfitrión descuidado, no había hecho. Y, adicionalmente, le ungió los pies con perfume. Los ojos de todos estaban fijos en el Maestro y la mujer. “Si este hombre fuera profeta, sabría qué clase de mujer es la que lo está tocando; sabría que es una pecadora”, piensa equivocadamente el fariseo Simón. El Señor a reclamarle a su anfitrión que no le ha dado el trato correspondiente, que la mujer sí le ha dado. Simón tal vez haya cometido menos pecados que la mujer, pero está cerrado al amor. Cuanto más por amor sea el arrepentimiento, co-mo en el caso de la mujer pecadora, más recibe perdón de Dios el arrepentido. Y queda perdona-da la culpa y pudiera quedar perdonada la pe-na; es decir, queda perdonado el pecado y pudie-ra quedar borrada también la mancha que dicho pecado ha dejado en el alma.

pierda, sino que tenga Vida eterna. (Juan 3-16)
