July 14, 2019 - 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time By Joan DeMerchant INTRODUCTION Figuring out how to live in faith can sometimes create a confusion of copious rules, regulations, practices and prohibitions. The reality, however, is a rather simple “heart and soul” thing. Loving and responding to God cannot happen apart from loving one’s neighbor with deep compassion. Today’s Gospel reminds us that the neighbor might not be the one we would choose to love. The good Samaritan story is a cautionary tale that catches our attention for good reason. PRAYER OF THE FAITHRUL Let us pray now that our faith may be rooted and expressed in the great commandment. For a church committed to compassion, love and care, which supersedes all other concerns, including power, authority and institutional issues, we pray:
For a willingness to explore our role in a culture where many narrowly decide who are neighbors, where neighborhoods are judged safe or unsafe, where people congregate only with those who meet their social, religious or political expectations, we pray:
For those whose lives are lived in constant fear, who have never experienced safety or compassion, who feel they belong nowhere and are loved by no one, we pray:
For programs that bestow dignity on those who need it most and focus more on care than cost, we pray:
For those whose faith is rooted in rigid practices or keeping the rules, who have not experienced the power of helping those in need, or are unable to see how we are united as children of God, we pray: For all in this community who are sick, suffering, grieving or in any kind of need, especially those whose needs we have not yet discovered or addressed, we pray:
Presider God of love, your precepts are described as perfect and right. They are given in the simple but demanding command to love you and others by our actions. Help us to follow your Son, who demonstrated the power of this love. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

<< Let us come to God not with our feet but with our affections; let us come not by moving from one place to another, but by loving. When someone is transported by the heart, he or she changes affec-tion by the movement of the heart.

~ St. Augustine of Hippo
HOLY FAMILY PARISH 15TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
O Amor de Misericórdia
15º Dom Tempo Comum (Ano C): Dt,30,10-14; Sl 68(69); Cl 1,15-20; Lc 10,25-37
O Evangelho de hoje, em harmonia com a memória de Santa Faustina Kowalska, apóstola da divina misericórdia, nos apresenta o episódio do bom samaritano. Esta parábola, embora no imaginário popular tenha adquiro um tom algo moralista, é interpretada por muitos Santos Padres em chave cristológica: por um lado, Jesus é o bom samaritano que, descendo de Jerusalém (isto é, do Céu), dirige-se a Jericó e depara no caminho com um homem surrado, espoliado, quase morto à beira da estrada; por outro, somos nós este pobre miserável, chagado pelo pecado. É Cristo, pois, quem em primeiro lugar vem ter conosco para nos limpar e curar.
Nesse sentido, o versículo 33 é bastante revelador: "Mas um samaritano que estava viajando, chegou perto dele, viu e sentiu compaixão." Trata-se da compaixão do próprio Jesus, do próprio Deus. Mas este mover-se de compaixão tem, no original grego, uma força expressiva ainda maior: o verbo (Logos) tem o sentido de mover-se desde as entranhas; é um amor por assim dizer visceral, que move no mais fundo do ser. Também o termo hebraico "rahamim" expressa de modo abstrato, mas não menos vivo, uma piedade que move as entranhas, que brota do útero ("rehem"). E este é o amor de Deus para com o Seu povo: é um amor encarnado, um amor de verdadeira misericórdia. Esse amor, com efeito, supõe um desnível entre o amante e o amado. O primeiro se rebaixa, se compadece entranhadamente do segundo e, por isso, se põe no lugar dele. É de fato um amor em si mesmo afetivo, que experimenta o que o amado sofre. Deus, que se fez carne e assumiu a nossa condição mortal, sabe perfeitamente quais as nossas angústias, quais as nossas dores; Ele, melhor do que ninguém, pode compadecer-se realmente de nós. Este amor que Deus tem por nós não é contudo tão-somente afetivo; é também um amor efetivo e conforme à razão: pois Deus tem não apenas compaixão, mas uma atitude concreta de vir em nosso socorro para nos administrar o remédio de que precisamos. É o que faz o bom samaritano: ele, compadecido, leva consigo o pobre espoliado, acomoda-o numa pousada e toma para si todas as custas do seu cuidado. Essa compaixão que Deus, com coração incansável, nos dispensa deve modelar o nosso amor pelos demais, especialmente por aqueles que mais necessitam de nossa ajuda, seja material, seja espiritual.
