COMMUNITY OF PRAISE The Community of Praise is a welcoming group of parishioners committed to living in the Holy Spirit. We meet each week to praise God in song, pray with each other, study Scriptures, and support each other on our journey of faith. We support the parish by our prayers, by joining with other parish groups for special projects, and by offering the Life in the Spirit Seminar. All are welcome to come and pray and praise with us, just once every week. We meet in Room 16 of the school every Tuesday night from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m.

PREPARING FOR

Sunday, July 3, 2016—The Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Jesus said, “Rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

Luke 10:20

Isaiah 66:10-14c

The prophet Isaiah speaks to the Jews who have returned from forced exile in a foreign land to find their beloved city Jerusalem with its Tem-ple in utter ruin. To offer them hope, he speaks of God endowing the city with all the characteristics of a nurturing mother who will comfort them, her children. Though the city is destroyed, the people are to re-joice because God will undo the destruction and spread prosperity like a river. Therefore, the people are urged to celebrate and be comforted. This is an old message that is new today in our own community where many have experienced similar losses in natural disasters. Galatians 6:14-18

Throughout the entire letter to the church at Galatia, from which we have been reading for the past four weeks, Paul defends his teaching authority against those who insist that new Christians embrace not just Jesus but also the Law of Moses by being circumcised. For Paul the Gospel message is simple and freeing: embrace the cross of Christ and salvation is yours. He is overwhelmed by the realization that in Christ we are made entirely new and have become heirs of the salvation Jesus won by his blood. They, and we, are a “new creation” who need nothing more than Christ. Luke 10:1-12, 17-20

Just as the Jewish exiles in the first reading rejoiced at returning to Je-rusalem, the seventy-two disciples that Jesus sent out returned to him rejoicing. Jesus sent them out to tell people about the coming of the kingdom of God and gave them power over evil. When the disciples returned, they rejoiced that even demons were subject to them. But Jesus responded by reminding them that their power came from him and that it is salvation, not power, that is the real cause of rejoicing. “Rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

Gospel Reflection Questions…. After reading next Sunday’s Gospel take some time to pray on it before you come to Mass. Use the questions below to aid your reflection.

1. Jesus sent seventy-two disciples out be-cause at the time there were seventy-two known nations. What would such symbol-ism mean in our times? In what ways are you a laborer in this abundant harvest?

2. Why does Jesus call us lambs? And why does Pope Francis insist we stay lambs? What kind of lambs does he think we should be?

Christ says to the 72 disciples in to-day’s Gospel, “Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.” Like lambs ... Don’t become wolves ... Because, at times, tempta-tion makes us think: ‘But this is diffi-cult, these wolves are cunning and I will be even more cunning than them, eh? Lamb. Not a fool, but a lamb. Lamb. With Christian astuteness, but always a lamb. Because if you are a lamb, he defends you. But if you feel strong like a wolf, he does not defend you, he leaves you alone, and the wolves will eat you alive. Like a lamb.” … One cannot walk as a Christian with-out joy, one cannot walk as a lamb without joy, Christians who are con-stantly complaining and whining are not doing any favors for the Lord or the Church.
