Pastor’s Corner
It is not unusual to hear that someone is
punished or sentenced because of a certain violation against the law. A motorist
could be given a violation ticket for violating certain laws and rules for driving. Violation signifies doing something that is not
legally permitted.
Our first reading this Sunday reminds us
that the exodus people who just received
the ten commandments of God to obeseve and follow violated one of those
commandments. They violated the commandment not to have other gods and
worship it beside the LORD their GOD
(Ex. 20: 2-5). They “made for themselves
a molten calf and worshipped it, sacrificing to it and crying out, ‘This is your God,
O Israel, who brought you out of the land
of Egypt! God wanted to impose his blazing wrath against them as a punishment
but God relented his anger because Moses implored him.
If violation brings us punishment, repentance from sins brings us forgiveness
from God. Repentance and forgiveness
is the central message of our gospel this
Sunday. And Jesus proclaims that “there
will be more joy in heaven and rejoicing
among angels of God for one sinner who
repents.”

Our Lady of the Rosary
BACKGROUND OF THE LITURGY
Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
The three Scripture readings today teach the
infinite patience and mercy of our God. The
first reading shows how God is forgiving when
Israel has rejected him and gone into idolatry.
The second reading is Paul’s profession that
he deserved nothing since he was the worst of
sinners; but God had mercy on him. The (longer
form of the) gospel gives three parables of the
mercy of God.
In the first reading, Moses has just received the
commandments of the Law from God on Mt.
Sinai. But God tells him to go down at once to the
people. They have made a golden calf and are
worshiping it. God says that he will destroy the
people but make a great nation from Moses.
Moses intercedes. He reminds God that he is the
God of lovingkindness. Surely, God would not
want the Egyptians to think that he brought this
people out of Egypt just to destroy them! Moses
reminds God of his covenant oath to Abraham
and the patriarchs. God has mercy.
In the second reading, Paul states that he was
once a blasphemer and persecutor. God has
treated him with undeserved mercy. He professes
that Jesus Christ came into the world to save
sinners.
The parables in the gospel are addressed to
the Pharisees and Scribes who complained
that Jesus was dining with sinners. (Very likely,
“Scribes and Pharisees” is a hendiadys and
should be translated the “Pharisee Scribes” or the
“Scribal Pharisees.” These would be the legalists
among the Pharisees who were more concerned
with minutiae than with mercy.)
The first parable is of the lost sheep. Jesus says
that the shepherd would go in search of one that
was lost and would have a party with his friends
when he found it. Remember, parables are stories
with a strange twist. We might imagine that the
shepherd would play the percentages and not
leave the ninety-nine to go in search of one. But
God is that way. And we should be, too.
The second parable is the woman who sweeps
the house until she finds one lost coin. Very likely
the coins alluded to those in a cap worn by wives.
The wives took great pride and joy in this badge

of their marriage. Perhaps the individual coins
were not worth much. But the woman searches.
She throws a party when she finds the lost coin.
This is one explanation. But perhaps it is simply
the case of losing one small coin out of ten.
What person would sweep the whole house for a
penny? But to God is like that He goes in search
of the insignificant one who is lost.
The parable of the Prodigal Son is in the longer
form of the gospel. The brat demanded his
share of his inheritance while the father was still
living. He gets it and squanders it in loose living.
Reduced to hunger and poverty, he decides to
return to dear old dad and ask to be his servant.
But while he is far off, the father spies him. (The
implication is that the father never gave up
searching for his return.) The father puts a robe
around him, gives him shoes, and puts a ring on
his finger — all signs of acceptance into the grace
of the family. The older son is angry, he complains
at the “fatted calf’ which has been killed for the
party. The father answers him that everything the
father has will eventually come to this son. But
they had to rejoice because the lost was found,
the dead has risen.
Thus the profound theme of today’s readings:
the undeserved mercy and love of our God.
It sometimes happens that we think we are
completely unworthy of God. People sometimes
avoid Confession because they cannot forgive
themselves. We are undeserving. But God still
wants us. He wants to lavish his forgiveness on
us. He wants to search until we find him again.
We think we may not be able to change. Perhaps
we shall sin again. But God is forever merciful. He
will not only forgive. He will also empower us to
change our lives and accept his forgiveness and
love. With such a God, let us turn back to him and
resolve to be part of his holy people.

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.
