July 4 — 10 Mass Intentions Readings

Youth: Jesus sent the disciples out into the world, but told them that it wouldn’t be an easy job. How have you shared your faith with others this past week? What were the risks for you? Adults: To what part of the harvest are you being sent? What are you being called to do for the Reign of God?

Dear God, as You hold these people in the palm of Your hands, please give them peace of mind, comfortable rest and fulfillment of Christ.

The Gift of Mercy Last Sunday, Jesus rebuked James and John for wanting to “call down fire from heaven” (Luke 9:54–55) on an unwelcoming town. As he sends forth disciples today, Jesus again forbids retaliation against non-receptive listeners (10:10–11), showing us how to be Jesus’ “missionaries of

mercy” this Jubilee Year of Mercy. Like the first disciples, we are sent not to proclaim ourselves but Jesus. As Jesus sent them in pairs, so are we also to work together in the community of the Church. We often describe the Church as Isaiah describes Jerusalem in today’s first reading, our comforting, nurturing Mother (Isaiah 66:13). So, going forth gently, like lambs among wolves (Luke 10:3), we share comforting peace, nurturing food and drink (Luke’s image for Eucharist), and Jesus’ healing promise of unfailing, unconditional mercy (10:5, 7, 9). Thus Jesus bids us proclaim the kingdom of God by showing what God’s kingdom looks like in action. “Go, preach the Gospel,” Pope Francis’ saintly namesake of Assisi is said to have instructed his first friars, “and when necessary, use words!”

In the next weeks, we focus on the Spiritual Works of Mercy. They have long been a part of the Christian tradition, appearing in the works of theologians and spiritual writers throughout history. Just as Jesus attended to the spiritual well-being of those he ministered to, these Spiritual Works of Mercy guide us to "help our neighbor in their spiritual needs".

FORGIVING INJURIES Forgiving others is difficult at times because we do not have God's limitless mercy and compassion. But Jesus teaches us that we should forgive as God forgives, relying on him to help us show others the mercy of God. • Let go of grudges • Saying sorry is something we learn as kids, but how

often do we really mean it? Forgiveness transforms hearts and lives

• Participate in the Sacrament of Penance • Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet

Saint of the Week St. Maria Goretti’s father died when she was young, and her poor mother worked very hard to support their family. After she was attacked and brutally stabbed by a young neighbor who wanted to rape her, she allowed her faith to continue to govern her life. She forgave him for his crime. Her forgiveness brought him to repentance and it changed his life. Today Maria Goretti is honored for resisting his sexual advances, but mainly for allowing her faith to lead her to generous and complete forgiveness. Maria’s message today: “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” We say these words daily, but do we pay attention to what we are saying? Maria, mortally wounded, could forgive and pray for her attacker. If Maria could forgive (and pray for) her killer, can you forgive someone who has done much less harm to you?
