Stewardship Note: Like Nathan in today’s first reading, we sin when we
begin to feel entitled and act as if what we have is ours by right, when we
forget that everything we have is an unmerited gift from God. But God is
gracious and forgiving–even when we use His gifts wrongly or squander
them thoughtlessly–if, like Nathan, we confess our guilt and ask His
pardon.
Word of Life. Modern medical science strives, if not exactly to exclude
death, at least to eliminate as many as possible of its causes, to postpone
it further, to prolong life more and more.....The true cure for death must
be different. It cannot lead simply to an indefinite prolongation of this
current life. It would have to transform our lives from within. It would
need to create a new life with us, truly fit for eternity.– Pope Benedict XVI

ELEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
June 13, 2010
I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me.
– Galatians 2:20
Repent. “You are the man.” These words, spoken to King
David by the prophet Nathan in the passage just before
today’s first reading, were a wake-up call to David that he
had done wrong in taking the wife of Uriah and having
Uriah killed in battle. The story that woke David up to his
own guilt was about a rich man who had many sheep, but
took and slaughtered the only sheep of a poor man. David
thought the man should be punished, but when Nathan
made known to him that this story was about David himself,
David woke up to his own sin and repented, and the Lord
forgave him.
Today’s psalm of David reinforces for us the necessity of
recognizing our own guilt and confessing it before the Lord.
Then “blessed is the one whose fault is taken away/whose
sin is covered” (Psalm 32:1). God becomes our shelter, and
gives us back our freedom.
The second collection this weekend is designated for the
Utility and Energy Costs
Next weekend, the second collection is for the Diocesan
Catholic Communications Campaign
POLISH AMERICAN VETERANS OF
WEBSTER-DUDLEY, INC.

Auxiliary for their contributions and cooperation in promoting their

goal of the Polish American Veterans.
