Pastor’s Message
One who loves more is forgiven more.
Through today’s Gospel scene - the dinner at Simon the Pharisee , Jesus clarifies the values hovering in the air of that room. A woman comes and anoints Jesus’ feet, weeping and drying them with her hair. She scandalizes everyone in the room except Jesus. He confronts Simon, his host, and the righteous guests with the parable of a creditor who forgives a large and a small debt. “Who is more grateful”? “The one forgiven the large debt.” Then Jesus compares their lack of courtesy to him with the woman’s outpouring of welcome. All of us are forgiven based upon the greater effort we take to love God. The narrative gives the impression that Simon and his dinner guests missed the most important part of forgiveness. How my self-righteous attitude and judgment can become an obstacle in seeking the mercy of God? It is so easy to apply higher standards of life to those around us than we do to ourselves. But understanding the weaknesses of others comes from the awareness of our own. Then God judges us mercifully, too. God Bless Fr. Lukose, CMF

REMEMBRANCE: In March 2013 a group with a common goal met and formed a committee. Our mandate at that time was to study the feasibility of creating a Remembrance for past, present and future Parishioners. The location for the Memorial will be in the foyer of the Church. We have three possible designs in mind and in the next few weeks we will have drawings to put up for all Parishioners to view. At that time we will ask for your opinions and suggestions. Our goal is to have the project completed by Christmas.
