Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time – July 14, 2019
Deuteronomy 30:10-14. Psalm 69:14, 17, 30-31, 33-34, 36, 37.OR Psalm19:8, 9, 10, 11.Colossians 1:15-20. Luke 10:25-37.
Loving means acting. In the First Reading, Moses pleads for us to heed the voice of God – it is not that hard. In the Gospel, a scholar poses two worthy questions to Jesus. How do I get to heaven? What do I do and with whom do I do it to get there? Jesus tells a story to provoke suitable answers. The good Samaritan, this good foreigner, puts the natives to shame. He has the right motive – compassion. It causes him to act with mercy.

Our Appreciation to Rosalie Kostecki and Her Family -- As we continue to pray for the happy repose of the soul of Stanley Kostecki, let it be known to the parishioners of St. Charles Borromeo that Rosalie Kostecki and her family donated $965.00 to St. Charles Cemetery Fund and $50.00 to the Church Fund in memory of Stan. Masses will be celebrated in due time for Stan as requested by his family and friends. Thank you Rosalie and your family for including the well-being of our parish in your good wishes for Stan. May he rest in peace, and may God’s comforting grace be with you as you go through this painful separation and look forward to the resurrection day when we shall all rise in the Lord to part no more with our dear ones. Fr. Oliver Nwachukwu, Ph.D.
