Week of July 21, 2018 - July 28, 2018
Saturday, July 21st (StF) Repose of the Soul of Wilma Ivy
In this today’s Gospel, we read the report of the return of the Twelve, who were sent by Jesus to preach repentance, heal the sick, and drive out demons. When the Twelve return to Jesus, he invites them to come away from the crowds and rest. But the crowds will not give them peace. As the Twelve have shared in Jesus’ ministry, they now appear to share in his popularity. The crowds continue to approach them, and Mark reports that the disciples don’t even have time to eat. In an effort to get away, Jesus and his disciples board a boat in hopes of finding a deserted place. But the crowds notice this and arrive ahead of them. The crowds are so persistent that Jesus and his disciples cannot find a place to be alone. Mark’s Gospel tells us that Jesus is moved with pity and begins to teach the crowds.
We hear the Twelve referred to as “apostles.” The word apostle is a Greek word meaning “one who is sent.” Jesus chose twelve men from among his disciples whom he sent to share in his ministry of preaching and healing. The first report of this is found in the third chapter of Mark’s Gospel, where the Twelve are also called apostles and the names of this select group are listed. We who are Jesus’ disciples today have also been sent to share the Gospel with others. Perhaps our commitment to following Jesus as his disciples leaves us feeling tired and overwhelmed. In today’s Gospel, we hear Jesus affirm the importance of times of rest and renewal. Jesus wanted his disciples to come away and spend time alone with him. This is what we seek and find in our life of prayer and in our celebration of the Eucharist

En el Evangelio de hoy, leer el informe del regreso de los doce, que fueron enviados por Jesús a predicar arrepentimiento, sanar a los enfermos y expulsar demonios. Cuando los doce volver a Jesús, él les invita a venir lejos de las muchedumbres y el resto. Pero las multitudes no les dará paz. Como los doce han compartido en el Ministerio de Jesús, ahora parecen compartir en su popularidad. Las multitudes siguen acercarnos a ellos y marca informa de que los discípulos no tienen ni siquiera tiempo para comer. En un esfuerzo por escapar, Jesús y sus discípulos para abordar un barco con la esperanza de encontrar un lugar desierto. Pero las multitudes cuenta y llegan delante de ellos. Las multitudes son tan persistentes que Jesús y sus discípulos no pueden encontrar un lugar para estar solo. El Evangelio de Marcos nos dice que Jesús se mueve con lástima y comienza a enseñar a las multitudes.
Escuchamos que los doce denominan "apóstoles." El apóstol de la palabra es una palabra griega que significa "uno que es enviado". Jesús eligió a doce hombres entre sus discípulos que envió a compartir en su Ministerio de predicación y sanación. El primer informe de esto se encuentra en el tercer capítulo del Evangelio de Marcos, donde los doce son llamados también apóstoles y aparecen los nombres de este selecto grupo. Nosotros que somos discípulos de Jesús hoy hemos enviados también a compartir el Evangelio con otros. Tal vez nuestro compromiso de seguir a Jesús como su discípulo nos deja sintiendo cansado y abrumado. En el Evangelio de hoy escuchamos a Jesús afirmar la importancia de los tiempos de descanso y renovación. Jesús quería que sus discípulos para salir y pasar tiempo a solas con él. Esto es lo que buscan y encuentran en nuestra vida de oración y en la celebración de la Eucaristía.

Except for the mother of Jesus, few women are more honored in the Bible than Mary Magdalene. Yet she could well be the patron of the slandered, since there has been a persistent legend in the Church that she is the unnamed sinful woman who anointed the feet of Jesus in Luke 7:36-50. Most Scripture scholars today point out that there is no scriptural basis for confusing the two women. Mary Magdalene, that is, “of Magdala,” was the one from whom Christ cast out “seven demons” (Luke 8:2)—an indication at the worst, of extreme demonic possession or possibly, severe illness. Writing in the New Catholic Commentary, Father Wilfrid J. Harrington, O.P., says that “seven demons” “does not mean that Mary had lived an immoral life—a conclusion reached only by means of a mistaken identification with the anonymous woman of Luke 7:36.” In the Jerome Biblical Commentary, Father Edward Mally, SJ, agrees that she “is not…the same as the sinner of Luke 7:37, despite the later Western romantic tradition about her.”
Mary Magdalene was one of the many “who were assisting them [Jesus and the Twelve] out of their means.” She was one of those who stood by the cross of Jesus with his mother. And, of all the “official” witnesses who might have been chosen for the first awareness of the Resurrection, she was the one to whom that privilege was given. She is known as the “Apostle to the Apostles.”

Check Out Summer Reading Here!
Books, cds, and dvds on theology, prayer and spirituality, Mary and the saints, apologetics, scripture, reference, church history, parenting, the popes, and children’s books are available for check out in the RE building. Borrowing is by the honor system. Please sign the item out in the checkout journal and scratch your name off when you turn it back in.
This week’s featured book is: The Lamb’s Supper – The Mass as Heaven on Earth, Scott Hahn, The early Christian’s key to understanding the mysteries of the Mass was the Book of Revelation. With its bizarre imagery, its mystic visions of Heaven, and its end-of-time prophecies, Revelation mirrors the sacrifice and celebration of the Eucharist. Readers will see the Mass with new eyes, pray the liturgy with a renewed heart, and enter into the Mass more fully, enthusiastically, intelligently, and powerfully than ever before.
