Tenth Sunday of Ordinary Time<\/h2>\n

Sunday June 5, 2016<\/a><\/p>\n

Lectionary: 90 (NAB Translation<\/b><\/a>)<\/p>\n

Reading 1<\/b><\/p>\n

1 Kings 17:17-24<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

In this week\u2019s first reading from the first book of Kings in the Old Testament, we see the Prophet Elijah demonstrate the power of God by raising someone from the dead.\u00a0 A poor widow in the pagan city of Zarephath has lost her only son to death despite the presence of Elijah, the holy man of God.\u00a0 As with many miracles performed by the prophets and apostles, God uses this episode to demonstrate both His mercy and the power of prayer.\u00a0 Elijah prays to the Lord and the Lord brings the man back to life. This story also prefigures our Gospel reading where Jesus’ raises another widow’s son from the dead.<\/p>\n

Responsorial Psalm<\/b><\/p>\n

Psalm 30:2,4-6,11-13<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

The response for this Psalm is:\u00a0 “I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.”<\/p>\n

Reading 2<\/b><\/p>\n

Galatians 1:11-19<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

In this week\u2019s reading from Saint Paul’s letter to the Galatians, we hear Paul’s defense of his calling as a preacher of the Gospel.\u00a0 As he was not one of the original twelve apostles, and because he was preaching a Gospel of grace to the Gentiles, there were some Jewish believers who had attempted to discredit him.\u00a0\u00a0 Saint Paul establishes his authority and commission by affirming that the Gospel he has received has come directly from Jesus Christ himself and not from any human being, and that like many prophets before him he had been chosen for this task while still in his mother’s womb. Nevertheless, after a long period of prayer and preparation, Paul eventually goes to Jerusalem to visit with Peter, thus acknowledging Peter’s role as head of the infant Church.<\/p>\n

Gospel<\/b><\/p>\n

Luke 7:11-17<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

In this week\u2019s Gospel from St. Luke, we see Jesus acting out of the impulse of His heart.\u00a0 The text shows that upon seeing dead man, the son of a widow, being carried out for burial, He “felt sorry for her”. \u2018Do not cry\u2019 he said.\u00a0\u00a0 It is clear in this instance that Jesus’ primary motivation was human compassion.\u00a0 Jesus sees a woman who already had lost her husband, and now was losing not only a dear child, but one who was possibly her only source of security and support.\u00a0 Moved by human suffering Jesus decides to do something to change the situation.\u00a0 In reflecting on this great miracle we can learn two lessons.\u00a0 The first is that we, like Him, should act of love to ease suffering and comfort the afflicted.\u00a0 The second is that in our own pain and suffering, we too can turn to the Jesus’ Sacred Heart to receive His mercy and to have our lives restored.<\/p>\n

Reflection question from Bishop V\u00e1squez<\/b><\/p>\n

Gospel meditation<\/b><\/p>\n

Consider using the following meditation for the 10th Sunday in Ordinary Time (June 5):<\/p>\n

Power over life and death is God\u2019s alone. We see the depth of God\u2019s mercy and care for those in need. Who do you know that needs God\u2019s life giving presence? How can you be a living encounter of God\u2019s mercy?<\/p>\n

El Poder sobre la vida y la muerte pertenece s\u00f3lo a Dios. Vemos la profundidad de la misericordia y el cuidado de Dios hacia aquellos necesitados \u00bfQui\u00e9n que conoce necesita la presencia viva de Dios? \u00bfC\u00f3mo puede usted ser un encuentro vivo de la misericordia de Dios?<\/i><\/p>\n

Bishop V\u00e1squez\u2019 prayer request<\/b><\/p>\n

Please consider Bishop V\u00e1squez\u2019 prayer request for the 10th\u00a0Sunday of Ordinary time (June 5):<\/p>\n

May we be faithful agents of God\u2019s life giving mercy to all people \u2026<\/p>\n
