Celebrating 163 years of Pastoral Service to the Catholic Community of Berea
Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
June 12, 2016
Dear Friends,
We celebrate the Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time and in Luke’s Gospel there are two stories of wom-
en. First, the woman who anoints Jesus and the second is about the
women who traveled with Jesus, providing for them out of their re-
sources. What’s the message here? It’s all about hospitality and care.
The woman who anointed Jesus was “known” to be a sinner, yet she
presents herself to the Lord and cares lovingly for him. So we are to
learn from her example and lose the judgment about her that the Phari-
see recognizes. As for the women who journeyed with Jesus, they were
willing to support him in every way. So we are to learn to care and sup-
port one another AS we are able. Both stories are good summer
“reminders!”
+
The seasonal color of Ordinary Time is green, and it is also the theme
of the world around us. Gardens and lawns, trees and hedges surround
us in their verdant beauty, reminding us that God’s creation is both
spectacularly diverse and tenderly vulnerable. In this season, we are encouraged and invited to explore the “greening” of
our spiritual lives. Carve out time to pray about the gifts you have been given in Baptism and about which you have been
reminded in Pentecost. Where they strong? Where might they be spiritually strengthened?
The flowering of the earth likewise invites us to work as communities for the justice of God’s Kingdom, because
we do not all share fully in its fruits. Summer pantry shelves are often low yet the essentials remain the same for those
in need. Are we able to give something extra at this time?
Summer is also a time of visiting family and friends near and far. Rejoice in the friendships you have made and
keep as did Mary and Elizabeth (Feast of the Visitation) and celebrate well.
Though the vacation schedules often interfere with our regular routines, summer is an ideal time to plan new
ways of how we might participate more fully in the parish ministries and opportunities of the next year, possibilities to
share and teach the ways of Jesus. Think ahead and make a new plan for yourselves!
+
Have a great week and THANKS for your contribution and support of St. Mary’s!

Music Ministry and Liturgy Notes
By Angela Kovacs Director of Music and Liturgy
CYCLE OF FORGIVENESS
This weekend’s readings are all about mercy– about God’s abundant forgiveness for us sinners who fail to live the
holy lives in which we are called. However, this is our human nature; with original sin and free will, we are going to
make mistakes time and time again. Sometimes they are very conscious mistakes, and we know better, but decide that
our sinful ways are easier, better, more convenient than doing the right thing. This isn’t to say that we as the human
race are bad! Instead, we have the opportunity to learn from each of these mistakes to mold ourselves into a better
person. And with sincere penitence, God is right there to forgive us every step of the way. He knows that we are not
going to be perfect, but that means that we must be ever yearning to be who God wants us to be.
Traditional Choir, Contemporary Choir, and Youth Choir are off for the summer. All choir members are wel-
come to sing up in the loft during weekend masses. Summer is a perfect time to audition for involvement in one of our
ensembles! If you are interested in participating in any of these choirs, cantoring, or playing an instrument during
mass, please call or see me after mass up in the loft. Please contact the music ministry office for more information:
440.243.3877 ext 27.
Family Perspectives
David, one of the great men of faith in the Bible was also a
great sinner. He was humble enough to repent and try
again. The righteous men in the Gospel were humbled by
the example of an imperfect woman who showed repent-
ance and great love to Jesus. Let all of us humbly turn our
hearts toward our Heavenly Father and give thanks that
we are saved by Christ and not by our own works. Let our
works be a thankful response to His love and mercy.
Welcome to the newly baptized member of our Parish

Welcome - Newly Baptized
Bible Study Bible Study meets in the chapel on each Tuesday at
11:00am and again at 7:00pm. We will continue our
study of the Book of Joshua. Once again we will see
that faithfulness to God enables us to walk confident-
ly in the world. Bring your Bible and join us as we
discover how much of what we read in scripture can
help us to understand a little better just what God
wants for and from my life in the world today.
Quiet Prayer
Quiet prayer will meet in the chapel at 12:30pm and
will consist in 20 minutes of quiet prayer done in a
community of people at prayer. You are welcome to
join us for all or part of the time. Why not come to
see if this type of prayer might benefit you on your
spiritual journey?
We must be poor to serve and understand the poor
The poor show faith and patience
in suffering, . . . and we are privi-
leged to serve God in them. We can
console Christ in His distressing dis-
guise in them, Christ suffering in His
brethren. . . .
To serve well our poor, we must
understand them; to understand their
poverty, we must experience it.
Working for them, we come to iden-
tify ourselves with them. Our Sisters
must feel as they feel, feel their poverty before God,
know what it is to live without security, depending on
God for the morrow.
