Christ Jesus . . . is the head of the body,
the church. — Colossians 1:15, 18
Dear People of St. Patrick Parish:
As we look at the Year of Mercy doors at the Baptismal font, we think about what God is saying to each of us about what He wants us to do as we interact with our brothers and sisters in this world. The story about the Good Samaritan in today’s Gospel should challenge our thinking and move us to be people of mercy. Both the Old and New Testaments tell us, “you shall love your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
We might ask ourselves, who is my neighbor? How much must I love my neighbor? How many times must I show mercy and why? The Good Samaritan went out of his way to take care of the man who was robbed and beaten. He did not just walk by and smile. He got involved and showed mercy and love. Hard as it might have been, he did it. How have we acted in similar situations? Love of others is more than a mere feeling. The idea of love is to do good. St. Ignatius of Loyola said, “Love is shown more by deeds than by words.” God waits for us to seek His mercy in the Sacrament of Reconciliation—Let us do it. Jesus Christ waits to let His blood from the cross heal us and restore love to us. If God does all this for us, He also wants us to forgive those in our lives that need to be forgiven. We also need to ask others to forgive us as well. Love, good actions, kindness and the strong conviction of God’s love for all people, can overcome the hate and the violence we see in the world. Every human being is created by God to one day be with Him in heaven. We pray that all people will learn to love and to forgive and to let God be the judge of all people. God Bless, Fr. Larry Young Pastor

Jubilee Year of Mercy July 10, 2016 Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Could anyone object to Jesus’ supreme lesson in mercy, the parable of the Good Samaritan? Jesus’ devoutly religious audience certainly did! Scant sympathy
for anyone foolish enough to travel crime-ridden “Jericho Highway” alone. Much sympathy for priest and Levite, hurrying to assigned temple ministry, unwilling to risk ritual impurity through hands-on mercy. No sympathy for Jesus’ scandalous hero. Samaritans were religious apostates and political enemies. Jesus challenges them—and us—to seek God’s presence not only in liturgical beauty but in a fellow traveler’s self-inflicted misfortunes. See God’s presence even in someone outside the law, whose hands-on mercy springs not from religious obligation but from the heart’s instinctive goodness. Since Jesus became our “Good Samaritan” despite our foolishness and sins, who are we to ration our mercy? “Who is my neighbor?” (Luke 10:29). The next person we see who needs hands-on mercy! No conditions, no limits, no exceptions. Especially in this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Jesus commands, “Go and do likewise” (10:37).

GO AND DO LIKEWISE Miss Collins, the dean of st dents at Oly pic High School, was past the point of scolding Ma , though she liked him ver much. “Four detentions in t o weeks are too many.”
Still Ma wouldn’t tell. It was only aster Miss Collins went on a mor ing neighborhood pat ol that she found out the real reason for Ma ’s tardiness. Thump, thump, thump, came the wheelchair down the stairs. It was Ma , steadying Shawne a as he helped lower her down the stairs and then push her to the cor er bus stop.
“She’s a girl in my parish youth g oup,” Ma ex lained to Miss Collins.
There are many ways to describe Ma ’s actions—a random act of kindness, making a difference one person at a time. Jesus would understand. When the lawyer cor ectly identified the good Samaritan as the one who had t eated the injured man with compassion, Jesus said simply, “Go and do likewise” (Luke 10:37). Copy ight © J. S. Paluch Co.
