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.

A Father Means. . .
SAINT ELIZABETH CONVENT in Minsk (Belarus) supports a
large psychiatric hospital; runs a rehabilitation centre and
a shelter for the homeless. As they strive to establish new
contacts, promote workshops and support charitable
projects they plan to visit Canada this summer with a
display of handcrafts and religious items made in the
Convent with love and prayer.
Representatives from the Convent will be at the Parish on
June 26th to offer their goods to parishioners. Those who
wish to support them could do so by purchasing some of
their works. Most of the prices vary between $1 & $20.
A Father means so many things . . .
An understanding heart,
A source of strength and of support
Right from the very start.
A constant readiness to help
In a kind and thoughtful way.
With encouragement and forgiveness
No matter what comes your way.
A special generosity and always affection, too
A Father means so many things
When he’s a man like you . . .
