PARISH INFORMATION 22nd Sunday In Ordinary Time “Alms atone for sins” (Sirach 2:29). Alms are mercy translated into hands-on compassion. Jesus confirms Sirach’s wisdom, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy” (Matthew 5:7). “Conduct your affairs with humility” (Sirach 3:17). Humility: we’re all alike and special, for we’re children of God. Jesus confirms that wisdom, too: “Do not recline at table in the place of honor. Take the lowest place” (Luke 14:8, 10). In fact, “When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite friends, relatives, wealthy neighbors. Invite the poor, crippled, lame, blind,” physically or figuratively, society’s most vulnerable and marginalized, “who cannot repay you” (see 14:12–14). Jesus seems to be telling us to prepare for eternity with God’s chosen by becoming their friend here and now. Mercy is measured not by our delight in welcoming those we like most or who can repay us best, but by sincerely embracing those we like least, who cannot repay us at all. Utter humility inspires pure mercy; pure mercy leads to eternal joy. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading - Conduct your affairs with

humility and God will favor you (Sirach 3:17-18, 20, 28-29).

Psalm - God, in your goodness, you have made a home for the poor (Psalm 68).

Second Reading - You have approached Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant (Hebrews 12:18-19, 22-24a).

Gospel - When invited to dine, take the lowest place. Those who humble themselves will be exalted (Luke 14:1, 7-14).

Thank you!

¡Gracias a todos!

22o Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario “En tus asun tos p rocede con humildad” (Eclesiástico 3:17). Humildad: todos somos parecidos y únicos por que somos hijos de Dios. Jesús nos da una explicación de lo que es tener humildad “no te sientes en el lugar principal . . . ocupa el último lugar” (Lucas 14:8, 10). De hecho “cuando des una comida o una cena, no invites a tus amigos, ni a tus hermanos, ni a tus parientes, ni a los vecinos ricos; . . . Invita a los pobres, a los lisiados, a los cojos y a los ciegos” física o simbólicamente, los más vulnerables y marginados de la sociedad “por que ellos no tienen con qué pagarte” (ver 14:12–14). Parece que Jesús está por decirnos que nos preparemos para la eternidad con los elegidos de Dios haciéndonos su amigo aquí y ahora. La misericordia no se mide por el placer de ser anfitriones de quienes mejor nos pueden devolver el favor de una invitación, sino por aceptar sinceramente la compañía de aquellas personas que no nos caen bien, de quien no podrían devolvernos el favor de una invitación. Una completa humildad inspira misericordia pura y una misericordia pura nos guía a una alegría eterna. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Did You Know? Keep your children safe in the parks this summer The weather outside is beau ful, and one of the best places to play is the park. However, parents should start every visit to the park with a discussion with their kids about safety plan. Kids should know what to do if a stranger were to approach them, and who to go to if they feel uncomfortable or threatened. Public parks are a great place to play, but they are exposed to the public. Having a safety plan in place can help parents and kids feel secure and play safely this summer. For a copy of the TODAY.com ar cle, email jvienna@la-archdiocese.org or call (213) 637-7227.

Mantenga a sus hijos seguros en los parques este verano El clima en el exterior está bello y uno de los mejores lugares para jugar es el parque. Sin embargo, los padres de familia deben comenzar toda visita al parque con una plá ca con sus hijos sobre un plan de seguridad. Los niños deben saber qué hacer si un extraño se les acerca, y a quien ir si ellos se sienten incómodos o amenazados. Los parques públicos son un gran lugar para jugar, pero están expuestos al público. Contar con un plan de seguridad puede ayudar a los padres de familia y a los niños a sen rse seguros y a jugar seguros este verano.
