SPIRITUAL READING & REFLECTIONSAINT OF THE WEEK ✠ JUNE
13
ANTHONY OF PADUA, PRIEST AND DOCTOR
From The Office of ReadingsFrom a sermon by St. Anthony of
Padua, priest
NEXT SUNDAY’SGOSPEL READING
LUKE 7:36-50
A Pharisee invited Jesus to dine with him, and he entered the
Pharisee’s house and reclined at table. Now there was a sinful
woman in the city who learned that he was at table in the house of
the Pharisee. Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment, she stood
behind him at his feet weeping and began to bathe his feet with her
tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed
them with the ointment. When the Pharisee who had invited him saw
this he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know
who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, that she is
a sinner.” Jesus said to him in reply, “Simon, I have something to
say to you.” “Tell me, teacher, ” he said. “Two people were in debt
to a certain creditor; one owed five hundred day’s wages and the
other owed fifty. Since they were unable to repay the debt, he
forgave it for both. Which of them will love him more?” Simon said
in reply, “The one, I suppose, whose larger debt was forgiven.” He
said to him, “You have judged rightly.”
Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this
woman? When I entered your house, you did not give me water for my
feet, but she has bathed them with her tears and wiped them with
her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but she has not ceased
kissing my feet since the time I entered. You did not anoint my
head with oil, but she anointed my feet with ointment. So I tell
you, her many sins have been forgiven because she has shown great
love. But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.” He
said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” The others at table said to
themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” But he said to
the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
The man who is filled with the Holy Spirit speaks in different
languages. These dif ferent languages are different ways of
witnessing to Christ, such as humility, poverty, patience and
obedience; we speak in those languages when we reveal in ourselves
these virtues to others. Actions speak louder than words; let your
words teach and your actions speak. We are full of words but empty
of actions, and therefore are cursed by the Lord, since he himself
cursed
the fig tree when he found no fruit but only leaves. Gregory
says: "A law is laid upon the preacher to practice what he
preaches". It is useless for a man to flaunt his knowledge of the
law if he undermines its teaching by his actions. But the
apostles spoke as the Spirit gave them the gift of speech. Happy
the man whose words issue from the Holy Spirit and not from himself
! For some men speak as their own character dictates, but steal the
words of others and present them as their own and claim the credit
for them. The Lord refers to such men and others like them in
Jeremiah: So, then, I have a quarrel with the prophets that steal
my words from each other. I have a quarrel with the prophets, says
the Lord, who have only to move their tongues to utter oracles. I
have a quarrel with the prophets who make prophecies out of lying
dreams, who recount them and lead my people astray with their lies
and their pretensions. I certainly never sent them or commissioned
them, and they serve no good purpose for this people, says the
Lord. We should speak, then, as the Holy Spirit gives us the
gift of speech. Our humble and sincere request to the Spirit for
ourselves should be that we may bring the day of Pentecost to
fulfilment, insofar as he infuses us with his grace, by using our
bodily senses in a perfect manner and by keeping the commandments.
Likewise we shall request that we may be filled with a keen sense
of sorrow and with fiery tongues for confessing the faith, so that
our deserved reward may be to stand in the blazing splendour of the
saints and to look upon the triune God.

“If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so

— 1 Corinthians 13:3
A PRAYER OF ST. THOMAS AQUINAS AFTER COMMUNION
I thank You, Lord, Almighty Father, Everlasting God, for having
been pleased, through no merit of mine, but of Your great mercy
alone, to feed me, a sinner, and Your unworthy servant, with the
precious Body and Blood of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray
that this Holy Communion may not be for my judgment and
condemnation, but for my pardon and salvation. Let this Holy
Communion be to me an armor of faith and a shield of good will, a
cleansing of all vices, and a rooting out of all evil desires. May
it increase love and patience, humility and obedience, and all
virtues. May it be a firm defense against the evil designs of all
my visible and invisible enemies, a perfect quieting of all the
desires of soul and body. May this Holy Communion bring about a
perfect union with You, the one true God, and at last enable me to
reach eternal bliss when You will call me. I pray that You bring
me, a sinner, to the indescribable Feast where You, with Your Son
and the Holy Spirit, are to Your saints true light, full
blessedness, everlasting joy, and perfect happiness. Through the
same Christ our Lord. Amen.
