St. Anthony of Padua Church www.sapparish.org 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ June 12, 2016

Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time Weekend of June 11/12, 2016

In today’s Gospel we encounter the Pharisee who is rather inhospitable

to Jesus. He doesn’t seek Jesus’ friendship. And yet the unknown woman who

appears is quite eager to be where Jesus is and to show him her tremendous

gratitude. She does some extraordinary things: She gets down by Jesus’ feet,

and, weeping, she wets his feet with her tears and wipes them with her hair!

She even kisses his feet and anoints them with some perfumed oil. The woman

lavishes her love and appreciation for Jesus. Christian stewards show their love

for Jesus in tangible ways every day. Others don’t really seek his friendship.

Who are we more apt to be like in this Gospel story, the Pharisee or the grateful

woman?

XI Domingo Ordinario ~ 12 de Junio de 2016

Décimo Primer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Fin de Semana del 11/12 de Junio de 2016

En el Evangelio de hoy nosotros encontramos al fariseo que prefiere ser

inhospitalario con Jesús. Él no busca la amistad de Jesús. Y sin embargo, la

mujer desconocida que aparece está ansiosa por estar donde está Jesús y por

mostrarle su enorme gratitud. Ella hace algunas cosas extraordinarias: ¡ella se

inclina a los pies de Jesús, y llorando humedece sus pies con sus lágrimas y los

seca con su cabello! Ella incluso besa sus pies y los unge con aceite perfumado.

La mujer muestra generosamente su amor y apreciación por Jesús. Los corre-

sponsables cristianos muestran su amor por Jesús cada día en maneras tangi-

bles. Otros no buscan verdaderamente su amistad. ¿A quién nos asemejamos

nosotros en la historia de este Evangelio, al fariseo o a la mujer agradecida?

Fun facts about St. Anthony of Padua:

Once, when St. Anthony of Padua attempted to preach the true Gospel of the Catholic Church to heretics who would not listen to him, he went out and preached his message to the fish. This was not, as liberals and naturalists have tried to say, for the instruction of the fish, but rather for the glory of God, the delight of the angels, and the easing of his own heart. When critics saw the fish begin to gather, they realized they should also listen to what Anthony had to say.

Saint Anthony followed the path of God’s Word, proclaiming the Gospel

both with learning and with the gentleness born of strength of spirit.
