Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
T he first reading is taken from the Second Book of Kings
4:42-44. We have here an incident from the life of Elisha, the
prophet in Israel who inherited the man-tle of the great Elijah.
He prophesied in Israel during the second half of the 9th century.
By anointing Jehu as king of Israel, he helped to bring about the
over-throw of Achab's dynasty which had introduced the worship of
Baal into Isra-el and had almost paganized the whole northern
kingdom. This reading de-scribes a miracle worked by Elisha The
second reading is from the Letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians
4:1-6. St. Paul lays great stress on Christian unity which is the
essence of the faith. In these six verses he gives a sevenfold
formula of unity on which the various aspects of true Christian
unity are based. The Gospel is from St. John 6:1-15. Alt-hough
Jesus had the intention of prepar-ing the minds of the multitude
for his discourse on the heavenly food which he would make next
day, his principal mo-tive in working this miracle was pity and
compassion. He knew that they were hungry—they had been away from
home all day and some for many days. They were willing to suffer
this incon-venience but he did not want them to do so. Even though
he knew there were some among them who would never ac-cept him, and
perhaps even some who would be among the rabble that demand-ed his
crucifixion on Good Friday; yet he
made no distinction. He had compassion on them all. This miracle
should surely convince us that Christ is interested in our daily
needs too, just as he was interested in those of his contemporaries
in Palestine. Our principal and only real purpose in life is to be
saved and Christ is ever ready to help us. However, we have first
to travel through our earthly life so, of necessity, we have to
take a passing interest in the affairs of this world. We have to
provide for our earthly needs and for those of any others who may
depend on us. For many, in fact for the vast majority of men, this
has always been and will be a struggle
against great odds. Here, too, Christ is ever ready to help us.
He has a true inter-est in our progress through life and if we turn
to him trustfully and sincerely, he will help us over our
difficulties. This does not mean that we can expect or demand a
miracle whenever we find our-selves in difficulties. If, however,
we are true to Christ and to the faith in our daily lives, he will
find ways and means of freeing us from difficulties which would
otherwise overcome us. If we look back over our past we may notice
occasions when we were saved from grave difficul-
Commentary for the Readings in the Extraordinary Form:
Tenth Sunday after Pentecost
"The Pharisee stood and began to pray. . .'O God. . .I am not
like the rest of men. . .' But the publican. . .kept striking his
breast, saying, 'O God, be merciful to me the sinner'"
(Gospel).
Pride is the curse of our day! The Pharisee, self-sufficient,
self-righteous, wants the applause of men, while pretending to
honor God. A hypocrite! Yes, he does refrain from some mis-deeds
but he but he neglects the essence of religion, love for God and
neighbor. And he measures himself not by the All-Perfect God, but
by imperfect men.
Humility is our salvation! The publican confesses his misuse of
grace, appeals for pardon, shows a willingness to atone. For him
God will "multiply. . .mercy" (Prayer). From him He will "accept
the sacrifice. . .upon (the) altar" (Communion Verse). God is the
source of all "gifts," intended to lead us and others back to
Himself, not to "dumb idols" (Epistle). Excerpted from My Sunday

Weekly Liturgical Calendar, & Mass Intentions
Parish Membership & Benefits: To be considered an “active”
member of the parish (and thus eligible for Sacraments, sponsor
eligibility, and the “Catholic tuition” rate at St. Patrick’s
School), the parish takes into account family & individual
involvement in parish life and ministries, and Mass attendance.
Mass at-tendance is only able to be tracked accurately via
collection envelopes. If you are not receiving envelopes currently,
please contact the parish office. Parishioners over 18 are
encouraged to register as their own household to help us keep
records accurate and up-to-date.
ties by some unexpected intervention. We may not even have
called on Christ to help us but he knew our needs and he answered
our un-spoken request. Those five thousand hungry people had not
asked him for food, but he knew their needs. He knew too that their
needs were caused by their desire to be in his pres-ence—so he gave
them what they had not thought of asking for. If we are loyal to
him we, too, can trust that his mercy and power will be with us in
our hour of need. He may not remove the cause of our difficulty.
Re-member St. Paul who had some bodily infir-mity which he thought
impeded his effective-ness as a missioner? Three times he pleaded
with Christ to remove this 'infirmity, but Christ assured him: "my
grace is sufficient for
you." He would prove all the more effectively that he was
Christ's Apostle by preaching in spite of that infirmity: "for my
power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Cor. 12: 7-9). Thus it may be
that Christ will use the very difficulty from which we are
suffering, to bring us and others into more intimate union with
him. Many of the saints suffered great hardships and afflictions
during their years on earth—these very afflictions were Christ's
gifts to them. Without these, and the virtues of pa-tience, faith
and trust which they had to prac-tice, they might not be among
God's elect to-day. We must rest assured then that Christ is
inti-mately interested in our daily lives on earth. We must not
expect that this interest of his will remove all shadows from our
path. This would not be for our eternal good—and our
eternal happiness is Christ's first interest in us. It should
also be our own first and principal interest too. It will help us,
too, to bear with our lot, if we look about us and see so many
others who are worse off, or at least as badly off as we are
especially with regard to the snags of life. Christian charity will
move us to help them; we may not be able to give them any material
help, but we can help to lighten their load by showing our sincere
interest in them and by offering words of comfort and consolation.
This is the only charity that the poor have to offer to their
fellow sufferers, but if it is Christ-inspired its effects will
reach to heaven. Excerpted from The Sunday Readings by Fr. Kevin
O'Sullivan, O.F.M.
