Year of Mercy
Reflecting on God’s Word
"The Christian way is not easy, but
this is it. To those who say, 'I don't
feel like doing this,' the response is if
you don't feel like it, that's your
problem, but this is the Christian
way. This is the path that Jesus
teaches us. The reason to take the
path of Jesus, which is mercy, is that
only with a merciful heart can we do
all that the Lord advises us, until the
end. The Christian life is not a selfreflexive life but it comes outside of
itself to give to others: it is a gift, it is
love, and love does not turn back on
itself, it is not selfish: it gives itself!"
— Pope Francis
Sixteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time—C—July 17,2016
We are told in today’s Scripture: “Mary sat beside the Lord at
his feet listening to him speak”; and later on Jesus saying
“Mary has chosen the better part.” Since the word “disciple”
has at its root the verb “to listen,” we can assert that “listening
is at the very core of being a disciple of Jesus.”
In the Bible, listening and hospitality are linked one to another.
Hospitality in Israelite and Semitic culture was, in Biblical
times, more than social convention. It was a religious act.
This act was mandated by the Scriptures and by tradition, and
it extended to family, neighbor and stranger. In order to
understand the Martha/Mary tension of today’s narrative, we
need to place ourselves in a different cultural setting than the
one we experience now.
In today’s narrative, Jesus is a guest. The hospitality extended
to him was warm and detailed.
I am amazed by this story! Abraham, sitting at this doorway
under a tree, sees three strangers approach. He runs to greet
them. He sees to the bathing of their tired dusty feet. He sits
them down under his tree. He feeds them. They engage in
conversation. The story is a little ambiguous, but Abraham
comes to know them as someone(s) divine. He responds with
lavish hospitality. Perhaps my mercy work this week is
wrestling with these discipleship questions:
 How will I greet and treat strangers?
 How can I, who can I literally bathe or “bathe” with
kindness?
 Who will I feed dinner?
Martha is about the nitty-gritty of making Jesus feel welcomed
and cherished. Mary was no less attentive, but her hospitality
was focused on the guest’s presence by listening to him. Both
Martha and Mary together comprise authentic hospitality. In
no way does Jesus belittle Martha’s behavior. Yet why does
Jesus say Mary has chosen the better part?
In traditional Christian spirituality, since it is biblical,
hospitality has a significant religious dimension. Jesus is not
only the host in the Christian church, he is also the guest.
When we greet him into our homes and hearts, we do so as
disciples. Therefore, we listen! Listening does not trump
other elements of hospitality, but it is the one that makes the
others meaningful.
Last Sunday's "Good Samaritan" parable concluded with Jesus'
command: Go provide hands-on mercy to the next person you
meet, no conditions, no limits, no exceptions. But today, Jesus
seems to criticize Martha's hands-on mercy of hospitality, while
praising Mary's "hands-off" as "choosing the better part"
(Luke 10:42). Mary sat listening (10:39), leaving Martha
"burdened with much serving by herself" (10:40). So, is the
contemplative life of prayerful silence "superior," but the active
life of earning a living, raising a family, running parishes,
schools, hospitals, and social service ministries "second-class"
discipleship? No; Jesus' example is not either/or but both/and:
silent communion with God, boundless compassion for people.
If we do not seek Jesus in silent prayer, how will we find Jesus
in all others? If we do not serve Jesus in others, will our
worship, despite its beauty, be anything but empty ritual? This
Jubilee Year of Mercy offers us Jesus' two-fold challenge: both
"go and do" and "sit and listen."
--Peter Scagnelli, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
Somewhat paradoxically, Jesus is the guest in the church! (He
is also the host). We invite him to speak to us and we commit
ourselves to hear his voice. That’s what a good host, a good
disciple does.
—Fr. Richard Grek, CR

Gift your Gift Bags!
Do you save those perfectly good gift bags? Do you put them in
an out-of-the way place and not look at them too often…..maybe
just once in a while? You can clean out that place, organize a
little, and gift some of those beautiful bags without any guilt.
The Elizabeth Ministry can put those gift bags to good use, since
we easily go through 100+ bags annually. Generally the bags
are used for our Baptism Bags, Pregnancy Bags, and Personal
Visit Bags. We can use solid color, bright and pastel, stripes,
dots, floral, baby, child; any style that would work for a boy, girl
or mom. Our supply of smaller bags is adequate right now, but
we are looking for mid-size to large bags (9½” x 12” or larger) to
accommodate a handmade sweater or blanket and gifts for newly
Baptized children.
Please help us out by dropping off gift bags in the Mary room
where there is a bin marked Elizabeth Ministry Gift Bags. And,
thank you for your past generosity!
Another gift that
keeps on giving!
The Elizabeth
Ministry Thanks
You!

ACCIÓN Y CONTEMPLACIÓN: DOS CARAS
DE LA MISMA MONEDA
1.- Marta se multiplicaba para dar abasto con el servicio;
hasta que se paró y dijo: Señor, ¿no te importa que mi
hermana me haya dejado sola con el servicio? Dile que me
eche una mano. Acción y contemplación no son dos modelos
distintos de vida religiosa, aunque tradicionalmente las hayamos
considerado así. Toda persona religiosa debe ser persona
religiosamente activa y contemplativa, dependiendo de
momentos y circunstancias distintas. Hoy día, las monjas y
monjes que llamamos de vida contemplativa dedican también
parte de las horas del día al trabajo manual, o a otra actividad
determinada, para ganar por sí mismos su pan y su sustento. Lo
mismo que los que nos llamamos frailes de vida activa dedicamos
parte de nuestro tiempo, como no puede ser de otra manera, a la
oración y contemplación. Ya decía san Agustín, en el siglo
cuarto, que la excesiva dedicación al apostolado activo no debía
nunca quitarle el tiempo necesario para la oración y
contemplación, lo mismo que la excesiva dedicación a la
contemplación no debía nunca quitarle el tiempo necesario que
dedicaba él al apostolado activo. Seguro que a Marta le encantaba
también escuchar a su amigo Jesús, cuando éste iba a su casa, y a
María le encantaba igualmente servir y atender en su casa a su
amigo Jesús lo mejor que sabía y podía. En el relato que nos
narra el evangelio, Marta es la anfitriona y se esmera
amorosamente en servir a su amigo con lo mejor que tiene y lo
mejor que puede; María escucha embelesadamente a su amigo,
porque sabe que su hermana le está preparando un recibimiento
espléndido. A las dos les gusta servirle y escucharle, pero en este
momento Marta es la que trabaja y María es la que escucha. Jesús
le dice a Marta que no es necesario que le prepare muchas cosas,
que termine y se siente junto a él y a su hermana. Pero eso es
todo; no hagamos de este relato ninguna teología mística sobre el
valor de la vida activa o la vida contemplativa.
2.- Señor, si he alcanzado tu favor, no pases de largo junto a
tu siervo. No olvidemos que la hospitalidad era una ley sagrada
para los pueblos nómadas. Una persona que caminaba horas y
horas por el desierto, árido y seco, lo que necesitaba al llegar a la
tienda de una familia hospitalaria era agua para lavarse y leche y
comida para reponer fuerzas. El patriarca Abrahán, el amigo de
Dios y nuestro padre en la fe, era una persona hospitalaria, que
amaba a su prójimo y le ayudaba siempre que podía. Nosotros
debemos intentar imitar al patriarca Abrahán, siendo personas
hospitalarias, en el tiempo real y en las circunstancias reales en
las que nosotros y nuestro prójimo vive hoy. ¿Cómo hacerlo? No
hay una respuesta única, que valga para todos los casos. Pero yo
creo que una palabra clave, que no debemos olvidar nunca, es la
palabra “acoger”. “Acoger”, hoy, es, sobre todo, escuchar y
ayudar al prójimo que se acerca a nosotros pidiendo ayuda.
Escucharle siempre y ayudarle también, cada uno como mejor
sepa y pueda, discerniendo, con caridad cristiana, lo que de
verdad podemos y no podemos hacer. Hoy, desgraciadamente, es
mucho más difícil que en tiempos del patriarca Abrahán saber
cómo y de qué manera debemos practicar la preciosa virtud de la
hospitalidad. Porque nuestro mundo es mucho más complicado y
abunda desgraciadamente la trampa y el engaño. Pero, en fin,
como ya hemos dicho, que cada uno discierna con sinceridad y
realismo lo que puede y lo que no puede, ni debe, hacer.
3.- Hermanos: ahora me alegro de sufrir por vosotros; así
completo en mi carne los dolores de Cristo, sufriendo por su
cuerpo que es la Iglesia. Sufrir por los demás, para salvar a los
demás, como hizo Cristo, es ser buen cristiano. No se trata de
sufrir por sufrir, sino de sufrir para colaborar con Cristo en la
salvación del mundo. El mundo, las personas que vivimos en este
mundo, no es el mundo que Dios quiere; Dios quiere un mundo
mejor. Cada vez que, en el Padre Nuestro, pedimos a Dios que
venga a nosotros su reino, lo que le pedimos es que nuestro
mundo sea un mundo en el que de verdad pueda reinar Dios. Esto
es algo muy difícil de alcanzar, pero los cristianos debemos
trabajar cada día para alcanzarlo, o, al menos, para acercarnos un
poco más al ideal. Trabajemos, pues, de palabra y de obra, para
que el reino de Dios se acerque un poco más cada día a nuestro
mundo, al mundo en el que nosotros, en cada caso concreto,
vivimos. En nosotros mismos, en nuestra familia, en nuestra
empresa, en nuestra sociedad, en la calle, en todos los sitios.

Jubilee Year of Mercy Holy Hour
3 Tuesday of Every Month – 7 PM
July 19, 2016
rd
As we celebrate this Jubilee Year of Mercy, come experience
the mercy of God during an hour of prayer at
Immaculate Conception Church,
Pilgrimage Church of Eastern DuPage County,
held on the third Tuesday of every month of our jubilee year.
In the month of July we will be praying for our Youth.
Obtaining a Plenary Indulgence during the Year of Mercy
A plenary indulgence frees a person from all of the temporal
punishment due to sins and may be gained only once on any
one day. Indulgences are only applicable to oneself and to the
dead.
How can one obtain a plenary indulgence
during the Year of Mercy?
One obtains this indulgence by:
· having the intention of acquiring the indulgence, going
to confession (before or after the visit), receiving Holy
Communion, making a profession of faith, praying for
the Holy Father and for the intentions that he bears in
his heart for the good of the Church and of the entire
world, while doing any of the following:
· The faithful by visiting one of the Diocesan Pilgrimage
churches
· The sick and people who are elderly and alone by
receiving Holy Communion or attending Holy Mass
and community prayer (even through the various means
of communication)
· The faithful by personally performing one or more of
the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy
· The faithful by remembering the deceased at Holy
Mass and praying that they be freed from every
remnant of fault and thus be embraced by God in the
blessedness of life eternal.
