Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary TimeToday's Readings: Dt 30:10-14; Ps 69:14, 17, 30-31, 33-34, 36, 37 or Ps 19:8, 9, 10, 11; Col 1:15-20; Lk 10:25-37Our God is about relationships. In the first reading, Moses reminds the Israelites that the laws, which are already in their hearts, keep them in right relationship with the God who loves them so much that they always find forgiveness. Centuries later, along comes Jesus, whom Paul describes to the Colossians as 'the image of the invisible God,' the very embodiment of this God of love. In his parable about the good Samaritan, Jesus explains how the law of love overrules the letter of the law. Instead of answering the question 'Who is my neighbor?' Jesus demonstrates that it is not about who is worthy of being loved, but rather loving as God loves--about being neighbor, about being the good Samaritan. Jesus wants us to continue his work as images of this God of love by loving all people, even those who seem to be our enemies.

Law and orderHave you ever listened to someone giving a specific person a dose of reality and realized that you were also intended to 'get it'? In today's Gospel, Jesus is speaking to a know-it-all who seems to be baiting him, trying to see if Jesus has the theological wherewithal to be the great teacher he was said to be, asking about the requirements in the Law to gain eternal life. Jesus turns the tables and asks this lawyer, this expert, how he himself would answer the question. The lawyer states the obvious answer from the Law about loving God and one's

neighbor. But Jesus asks for more: Who is my neighbor? Does the Law answer this question?In Deuteronomy, Moses spoke to the Israelites about the new Law, the Ten Commandments. At the time of Jesus, those ten 'laws' had bloated into more than six hundred, requiring interpretation so that people could be obedient but unencumbered by the inevitable inconsistencies of such a vast set of regulations. Instead of the Law, Jesus answers with one of the most famous stories of all time: the 'good' Samaritan. Here is where the plot thickens.

Can you hear me now? On his way to Jerusalem, to the cross, Jesus and his disciples had recently passed through Samaria and found no welcome there, due to animosity between the two peoples. Jesus' disciples wanted vengeance. So Jesus tells the story of how two strict adherents to the Law ignored the man who needed help, probably because of a slavish interpretation of the Law. A stranger from Samaria, who was seemingly little more than a heathen, treated the man with kindness and compassion. (Hey, disciples, did you hear that?)Moses tried to tell the Israelites that the Law was already in their hearts. Jesus wanted the lawyer and the disciples--and us--to realize that the heart of the Law is a matter of our own hearts. That is where we know our neighbor--everyone.

Did you Know?Be constantly vigilant anytime your children are near waterDrowning takes only a few seconds, especially when children have easy access to a body of water. Make sure children know the water safety rules — always go in with an adult, wear appropriate gear (floaties, goggles, etc.), and no unsupervised play near the pool. Be careful even at times when children are not supposed to be swimming, during meals, while cleaning, or any other non-pool time. Children can easily slip out unnoticed and can reach the water.

Updates on SB 360In a last-minute twist, a California bill that would have required priests to break the sacramental seal of confession was shelved by its sponsor amidst a remarkable grassroots campaign mounted by the state's Catholics, members of other faith groups, and religious liberty advocates from across the country. Senate Bill 360 was withdrawn the day before a scheduled July 9 hearing in the California Assembly Public Safety Committee, effectively removing it from any further consideration this year.

SB 360 was a dangerous piece of legislation, " said Los Angeles Archbishop Jose H. Gomez, who had led the California bishops in opposing the bill. "If any legislature can force believers to reveal their innermost thoughts and feelings shared with God in confession, then truly there is no area of human life that is free or safe from the government, " he added.

3,502 letters were collected from our parish and sent to Sacramento. We would like to thank all the parishioners of St. Genevieve who participated. *Stewardship of Time

Decimoquinto Domingo del Tiempo OrdinarioLecturas de hoy: Dt 30:10-14; Sal 69 (68):14, 17, 30-31, 33-34, 36, 37 o Sal 19:8, 9, 10, 11; Col 1:15-20; Lc 10:25-37Ley y orden¿Alguna vez escuchaste a alguien dar a una persona una dosis de la realidad y haberte dado cuenta que a ti también 'te tocaba entender'? En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús está hablando a un sabelotodo que parece estar desafiándolo, intentando ver si Jesús tiene el conocimiento teológico para ser el maestro excepcional del que se dice ser, preguntándole acerca de los que se necesita de la Ley para obtener la vida eterna. Jesús entonces le regresa la pregunta y le pregunta a este experto doctor de la Ley, cómo él puede responder la pregunta. El doctor de la Ley menciona que la respuesta obviamente proviene de la parte de la Ley que menciona amar a Dios y al prójimo. Pero Jesús sigue preguntando, ¿quién es mi prójimo? ¿La Ley da respuesta a esta pregunta? En el libro del Deuteronomio, Moisés habla a los israelitas acerca de la nueva Ley, los Diez Mandamientos. En tiempos de Jesús, esas 'diez' leyes se habían elevado a más de seiscientas, requiriendo que fueran interpretadas para que las personas pudieran ser obedecidas sin trabas por las inevitables inconsistencias de tan gran número de regulaciones. En lugar

de la Ley, Jesús responde con una historia de las más famosas de todos los tiempos: el 'buen' samaritano. Aquí es donde la trama se complica.

¿Ya me puedes escuhar? En su camino hacia Jerusalén, hacia la cruz, Jesús y sus discípulos acaban de pasar por Samaria y ahí nadie les dio un saludo de bienvenida, debido a la enemistad entre esos pueblos. Los discípulos de Jesús querían venganza. Así que Jesús les cuenta la historia de cómo dos personas muy obedientes a la Ley ignoraron a un hombre que necesitaba ayuda, probablemente por una interpretación servil a la Ley. Un extranjero de Samaria, quien según parece ser más que un pagano, se compadeció y trató al hombre con bondad y compasión. (Hey, ustedes, los discípulos, ¿lo escucharon?) Moisés intentó decirles a los israelitas que la Ley estaba en sus corazones. Jesús quería que el doctor de la Ley y los discípulos, y nosotros, nos diéramos cuenta que el corazón de la Ley es algo dentro de nuestros corazones. Ahí es donde conocemos a nuestro vecino, al otro o a la otra persona.

Noticias sobre la SB 360En un giro de última hora, un proyecto de ley de California que había requerido que los sacerdotes rompieran el sello sacramental de la confesión fue archivado en medio de una notable campaña de base organizada por católicos del estado, miembros de otros grupos religiosos y defensores de la libertad religiosa de todo el país. El Proyecto de Ley del Senado 360 se retiró el día antes de una audiencia programada para el 9 de julio en el Comité de Seguridad Pública de la Asamblea de

California, eliminándolo de cualquier consideración adicional este año.

SB 360 era una pieza legislativa peligrosa ", dijo el arzobispo de Los Ángeles, José H. Gómez, quien había dirigido a los obispos de California a oponerse al proyecto de ley." Si cualquier legislatura puede obligar a los creyentes a revelar sus pensamientos y sentimientos más íntimos compartidos con Dios en confesión, entonces, en verdad, no hay un área de la vida humana que esté libre o segura del gobierno ", agregó.

Se recolectaron 3,502 cartas de nuestra parroquia y se enviaron a Sacramento. Nos gustaría agradecer a todos los feligreses de St. Genevieve que participaron. *Corresponsabilidad de Tiempo

¿Sabía Usted?Esté siempre atento/a cuando sus hijos estén cerca del aguaAhogarse toma solo unos segundos, especialmente cuando los niños tienen fácil acceso a un cuerpo de agua. Asegúrese de que los niños conozcan las reglas de seguridad cuando estén en el agua. Que siempre estén acompañados de un adulto, use el equipo apropiado (flotadores, gafas para nadar o goggles, etc.) y que no juegue cerca de la piscina sin supervisión. Tenga cuidado incluso en los momentos en que los niños no deben nadar, durante las comidas, durante la limpieza o en cualquier otro momento fuera de la piscina. Los niños pueden fácilmente pasar inadvertidos y llegar al agua.
