Pastor’s Corner
God reminds us in this Sunday’s Liturgy of the word that He is the source of life. No human being can give life except God alone. Human beings can only preserve or prolong the life which we have but can’t give it back when it is gone.
In our first reading God gives back the life of the widow’s son who died through the prayer of Elijah the Prophet. In our gos-pel, Jesus as God, gives back the life of the dead son of a widow on their way to the burial site.
Our life originates from God; let us re-spect it with dignity and sanctity. Reme-ber that only God has the right to take it away from us. We don’t have any right to take away our own life because we are not the source of it and we cannot make it return. To unjustly take away life is a great offense and disrespect to the Crea-tor of life (i.e., God). Amen.
We Welcome All Visitors to Our CelebrationWhile Holy Communion may only be received by prepared Catholics, for our non-Catholic guests you are welcome to join the line to walk towards the priest or deacon to receive a special blessing: Simply cross your arms over your chest to receive a blessing.

BACKGROUND OF THE LITURGYTenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
The first reading of today’s Mass is a rather touch-ing story of the death and resuscitation of the son of the widow of Zarephath by the prophet Elijah. It is a tender story full of theological implications.
In fact, the late Anglican patristic and liturgical scholar, Dom Gregory Dix, cited the passage from the first reading as an example of the bibli-cal idea of remembrance: “In the scrip tures both of the Old and New. Testa ments, anamnesis and the cognate verb have the sense of re-calling or re-presenting before God an event in the past, so that it becomes operative here and now by its effects... So the widow of Sarepta (1 Kings 17:18) com plains that Elijah has come `to re-call to (God’s) remembrance (anamnesis) my iniquity’ and therefore her son has died.”
The woman expresses a common belief that any great tragedy was a punishment due to sin. (Je-sus directly repudiates this belief in John 9:3.) In bringing her son back to life, Elijah proves to the widow that he is a genuine prophet of the Lord, that the word from God is effective - it does what it says. What God says, happens.
In the second reading, Paul takes up an elaborate defense of his apostle ship. Paul’s opponents in the Galatian community did not like that he re-leased Gentile converts from the obligation to ob-serve the Jewish law, and they sought to under-mine his authority by casting doubt on whether he was a true apostle. They said that his gospel was only secondhand, of mere human origin, and not directly from Christ.
Paul rebuts these accusations by insisting that his gospel came by way of a direct revelation from God in a resurrection appearance. This leads him to give an account of all that hap pened in his life before his startling revelation, beginning with his persecu tion of the Church and zealous, phari-saical observance of the Jewish law.
In the gospel, God “visits” his people when Je-sus raises the son of the widow of Nain. In fea-tures similar to the first reading, Jesus encoun-ters the dead man being carried out of the town’s gate. Moved with pity for the widowed mother, he
touched the coffin and commanded the young man to get up. When he gave the son back to his mother, the crowd was seized with fear and they began to praise God saying “A great prophet has risen among us,” and “God has visited his people.”
The response of the widow of Zarephath and that of the crowd at Nain provide the homilist with rich material for proclamation. The word “visit” is an important word of the Bible. Yahweh is essential-ly a God who visits, not only to punish but also to bring salvation.
God’s visit to Israel in the ancient prophets; his visit in the Christ-event, bringing life out of death; his extension of that visit through the word and sacraments of the Church—that could be the theme of today’s homily.
In all of this, God has chosen to mediate his pres-ence through human beings. Here we have the theological basis for the necessity of the Church for salvation. The homilist could help the assem-bly recognize their own role in assisting the proc-lamation of God’s word and in bringing back to life those who are not in the life of grace.

Please, Come to Church Dressed Appropriately!To be modestly and tastefully dressed is a sign of respect for God, for our selves, and for others. It’s a false assumption that God does not care how we dress. Jesus told us, “Whatever you do to the least of my brothers, you do it to me.” If our attire is indecently provocative (short shorts, strapless, backless, spaghetti strap dresses/tops, or displaying cleavage), displaying unwholesome graphics (skulls, advertisements, scantly clad people) or tattered, it becomes offensive to our brothers and sisters who are worshipping the Lord and therefore offensive to God’s Majesty. Ask this question: “Would you dress this way before God?” You are! He sees everything and you are in His house.
