A SUNDAY FOR REJOICING Today’s Gospel story of the prodigal son is a favorite of many. We can identify with all the major figures and their crisscross of emotions. The father’s initial grief over his young son’s avarice is turned to relief at his return. The son’s grief over his loss of fortune, family, and friends is turned to delirious joy at the sight of his father. We understand the eldest son’s bewilderment over his father’s generosity. For the older son, virtue seems not to be its own reward. For all his honorable toil and loyalty, there seems to be no celebration. The father, however, is prodigal in his forgiveness and mercy. He expects the same generosity from his older son. He wants all to rejoice when the lost one is found. This is a Sunday for rejoicing. It’s time to pause, consider, and encourage one another. We are the prodigal children heading home. We are the elder siblings waiting with the eager Father, who scans the horizon. In Christ Jesus we are reconciled to the Father and one another. In his death and resurrection we have passed over. We are a new creation. In this we rejoice. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — God’s people enter the promised land, observe the Passover, and eat of the produce of the land (Joshua 5:9a, 10-12) or 1 Samuel 16:1b, 6-7, 10-13a. Psalm — Taste and see the goodness of the Lord (Psalm 34) or Psalm 23. Second Reading — We are now ambassadors for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17-21) or Ephesians 5:8-14. Gospel — We must rejoice when our brother who was dead in sin repents and comes back to life (Luke 15:1-3, 11-32) or John 9:1-41 [1, 6-9, 13-17, 34-38].

UN DOMINGO PARA ALEGRARSE Pocas parábolas del Evangelio son tan queridas por el pueblo cristiano como la del hijo pródigo. Nos podemos identificar con todos sus personajes, y con las emociones que se entrecruzan entre ellos. El dolor del padre por la avaricia y des-consideración de su hijo se convierte en alegría al verlo regresar. El dolor del hijo por haber perdido todo lo que tenía –dinero, familia, amigos– se convierte en ale-gría delirante al ver como su padre lo recibe. Pero también comprendemos el desconcierto del hijo mayor ante la genero-sidad de su padre. Para el hijo mayor, la virtud no es su propia recompensa. Ha trabajado duro, y ha sido un hijo leal, pero eso no se celebra con fiestas ni ban-quetes. Pero su padre es un padre pródigo, y prodiga su perdón y su misericor-dia. Y espera que su hijo mayor tenga esa misma generosidad. Quiere que todos se regocijen porque el que estaba perdido ha sido hallado. Este es un domingo para alegrarse. Es día de hacer una pausa, y de consi-derarnos y alentarnos unos a otros. Porque todos somos hijos pródigos, en el camino de regreso al hogar de nuestro padre. Y debemos también ser herma-nos mayores, pero hermanos mayores que esperan junto con el padre ansioso, mientras vislumbra el horizonte. En Cristo Jesús nos vemos reconciliados, con Dios Padre, y con nuestros hermanos. En su Muerte y Resurrección hemos pasado de la muerte a la vida. Somos una nueva creación. Y esto nos llena de alegría. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — El pueblo de Dios entra a la tierra prometida (Josué 5:9a, 10-12) o 1 Samuel 16: 1b, 6-7, 10-13a. Salmo — Haz la prueba y verás qué bueno es el Señor (Salmo 34 [33]) o Salmo 23(22). Segunda lectura — Ahora somos embajadores de Cristo (Corintios 5:17-21) o Efesios 5:8-14. Evangelio — Debemos celebrar cuando nuestro hermano se arrepiente y vuelve a la vida (Lucas 15:1-3, 11-32) o Juan 9: 1-41 [1, 6-9, 13-17, 34-38].

Please remember in your prayers the repose of the souls of

Arnulso Rodriguez

May they and all the faithful departed rest in peace.

Praying Hands: How can you be a Minister to the Sick without ever leaving your own home? It’s easy!

Every week our bulletin has a list of people who have requested our prayers for healing, for hope, for courage and for strength. They need our prayers and they believe that our prayers are powerful. So, may I suggest that every day we pray for one person from that list. We can name that person as we bring our prayers to the heart of God and ask our loving God to lay His healing hands on them.

In that way, these people will no longer be names on a list, they will be people who are special to us and we can be prayer warriors in our own homes. Try it! Sr. Sheila
