July 14, 2019 Page 5GOD WANTS TO BE KNOWN

The Old Testament reading from Deuteronomy praises God for inscribing the commandments in our very bodies. God’s law is not distant or foreign, but a natural part of us. In his letter to the Colossians, Saint Paul echoes Moses, praising God for becoming one of us. The truly human, flesh-and-blood Jesus reminds us that God always wants to be recognizable and familiar to us. Jesus, who is also truly God, wants to be on intimate terms with each of us. God’s passionate desire to be known by us is almost too wonderful to take in. Luke’s Gospel helps us understand how to respond. The Good Samaritan parable provides practical advice for those who believe in God’s intimate love for them and want to share that love with others.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The word of the LORD is very near to you, already in your mouths and in your hearts (Deuteronomy 30:10-14). Psalm — Turn to the Lord in your need, and you will live (Psalm 69) or Psalm 19. Second Reading — Christ Jesus is the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15-20). Gospel — The Samaritan traveler was moved with compassion at the sight of the man stripped and beaten by robbers (Luke 10:25-37).

READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Ex 1:8-14, 22; Ps 124:1b-8; Mt 10:34 — 11:1 Tuesday: Ex 2:1-15a; Ps 69:3, 14, 30-31, 33-34; Mt 11:20-24 Wednesday: Ex 3:1-6, 9-12; Ps 103:1b-4, 6-7; Mt 11:25-27 Thursday: Ex 3:13-20; Ps 105:1, 5, 8-9; 24-27; Mt 11:28-30 Friday: Ex 11:10 — 12:14; Ps 116:12-13, 15, 16bc, 17-18; Mt 12:1-8 Saturday: Ex 12:37-42; Ps 136:1, 23-24, 10-15; Mt 12:14-21 Sunday: Gn 18:1-10a; Ps 15:2-5; Col 1:24-28; Lk 10:38-42

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Monday: St. Bonaventure Tuesday: Our Lady of Mount Carmel Thursday: St. Camillus de Lellis Saturday: St. Apollinaris; Blessed Virgin Mary

EL DESEO DE DIOS PARA SER CONOCIDO La lectura del Antiguo Testamento del libro del Deuteronomio alaba a Dios por escribir los manda-mientos en nuestros cuerpos. La ley de Dios no es extraña o distante, sino una parte natural de nosotros. En su carta a los colosenses, san Pablo hace eco de Moisés, alabando a Dios por ser uno de nosotros. Él, verdaderamente humano, de carne y hueso, Jesús nos recuerda que Dios siempre quiere ser para nosotros alguien familiar al quien podemos reconocer, el que es verdadero Dios, quiere estar en buenos términos con cada uno de nosotros. El deseo apasionado de Dios para ser conocido por nosotros es tan maravilloso para disfrutarse. El Evangelio de Lucas nos ayuda a entender cómo res-ponder. La parábola del Buen Samaritano nos provee de consejos prácticos para quienes creen en la intimi-dad del amor de Dios para ellos y quiere compartir ese amor con otros.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Escuchen la voz del Señor. Es algo muy cerca de ti, y está en tu corazón; sólo nece-sitas observarla (Deuteronomio 30:10-14). Salmo — Escúchame, Señor, porque eres bueno (Salmo 69 [68]) o Salmo 19 (18). Segunda lectura — Todas las cosas fueron creadas mediante y para Cristo Jesús (Colosenses 1:15-20). Evangelio — Ser un vecino, mostrar amor tratando a otros con misericordia (Lucas 10:25-37).

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Ex 1:8-14, 22; Sal 124 (123):1b-8; Mt 10:34 — 11:1 Martes: Ex 2:1-15a; Sal 69 (68):3, 14, 30-31, 33-34; Mt 11:20-24 Miércoles: Ex 3:1-6, 9-12; Sal 103 (102):1b-4, 6-7; Mt 11:25-27 Jueves: Ex 3:13-20; Sal 105 (104):1, 5, 8-9; 24-27; Mt 11:28-30 Viernes: Ex 11:10 — 12:14; Sal 116 (115):12-13, 15, 16bc, 17-18; Mt 12:1-8 Sábado: Ex 12:37-42; Sal 136 (135):1, 23-24, 10-15; Mt 12:14-21 Domingo: Gn 18:1-10a; Sal 15 (14):2-5; Col 1:24-28; Lc 10:38-42

Page 6_____________________________ July 14, 2019 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

On a summer day, with the windows open, we may hear the sound of church bells. Bells seem to have come into church life in Irish monasteries around the seventh century, and spread around the Christian world by Irish monks on missionary journeys. By the eighth century, bells were standard equipment in even small parish churches. An ancient ceremony, once called the “baptism of the bells,” recognizes that the church bell has a voice to call people to awareness and summon them to worship, and even bestows a name on the bell. In a world without clocks or watches, the bell had an indispensable role. For calling monks in from the fields for prayer, or alerting far‑flung visitors, the bell’s voice was enhanced by hoisting it high into a tower. Soon it was learned that the sound of several bells clanging together in harmony imparted a sense of joy to great celebrations, and bell towers prospered, some chock full of bells. Different combinations of rings could indicate a death, a Mass, a wedding, a fast day, the curfew at the end of day, and the Angelus. Before electricity, bell-ringing was hard work indeed: the biggest bell in the Catholic world, in Cologne, Germany, weighs twenty‑seven tons! There’s no sub-stitute for the resonant roar of a mighty bell; electric chimes are not eligible for blessing!

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Desde 1913, en la ciudad de Puntarenas, Costa Rica, la Virgen del Carmen es reconocida como la Virgen del Mar. En aquel año un barco llamado el Galileo naufraga en una tempestad y el pueblo an-gustiado por sus seres queridos recurrió al templo de la Virgen para pedir auxilio. Algunos días des-pués todos los tripulantes fueron rescatados y lleva-dos a Puntarenas. Según los tripulantes, mientras las lluvias y vientos amenazaban al Galileo una mu-jer los animó a que se echasen al agua y nadaran a tierra firme. Allí ella los alimentó y los acompañó hasta que fueron rescatados. Llenos de alegría, el pueblo llevó a los rescata-dos a la iglesia para dar gracias. Estos reconocieron a la Virgen del Carmen como la mujer que los había ayudado. Desde entonces el sábado más cercano al 16 de julio, el pueblo celebra en grande la fiesta del Carmen con grandes desfiles de barcos y yates. En-tre música y fuegos artificiales los costarricenses vienen en embarcaciones adornadas desde toda la nación a celebrar con la Virgen del Mar que tam-bién se encuentra en una embarcación.

July 14, 2019 - 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time “Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do likewise.’” (Luke 10:37) This was Jesus’ command at the end of the Good Samaritan story. Did you know that the Samaritans and Jews despised each other. The moral of the story is to love our neighbor. That means loving someone you may not know or someone that looks different than you or someone that you don’t like. All without expecting anything in return.
