We love to tell stories 6.00pm (SAT) – E Krygger & E Saliba J Pullicino & N Ziino about them. Heroic tales are an important part of all cultures and all social gatherings. Such stories 9.00am (SUN) – C Brunetti & G Barbaro P Sparano, R Pino & L Cavedon excite and grip the imagination. The movies we go to see or novels we read present such heroic 10.30am (SUN) – J Kearney & J Iaria P Nguyen, S Rottura & S Miano figures and their great feats against incredible odds. But there is more to it than entertainment. Heroes take journeys, battle dragons, and rescue people LECTORS – NEXT WEEK 07/07/2013 SPECIAL MINISTERS from injustice and distress. In that way, they conquer prejudice and fear, and their own limitations. 6.00pm (SAT) - MALTESE MASS (Selected) MALTESE MASS (Selected) Ultimately, they discover what it means to be truly human. The Gospels are in many ways like these 9.00am (SUN) - L Calafiore & R DiGuglielmo D Biasibetti, P Leggiero & C Alberti heroic tales. Their central protagonist, Jesus, takes journeys, battles demons and rescues those 10.30am (SUN) – C Antonio & J Kearney M Mizzi, S Dakin & C McMahon enslaved by sin and sickness. Unlike other heroes, however, Jesus does not triumph by force of arms or in the clash of battle. Rather he conquers prejudice and fear, evil and sin, by standing up peacefully for justice and charity in the name of God. And though he will meet his death at the hands 01/07/2013 S Dakin & D Herbert MONEY COUNTERS of the powerbrokers of this world, his way of peaceful resistance will be confirmed. He rises from 08/07/2013 J & J Kearney, E & K Bartlett, C McMahon the dead and triumphs over death itself. Today’s Gospel reading (Luke 9:51-62) captures something & S Dakin of this. It presents Jesus being “resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem” (Lk 9:51). There, he

will meet the greatest enemy of humankind, death itself. The episode marks an important turning

point in Luke’s Gospel. From this time onwards until he enters Jerusalem (Lk 19:28), Jesus travels with his disciples, teaching them and preparing them to understand his death and resurrection. Like YOUR PRAYERS ARE REQUESTED FOR THE FOLLOWING him, his disciples will be called to leave their homes and families and pursue a heroic and seemingly RECENTLY DECEASED ill-fated cause (Lk 9:57-62). On one level this story can be understood in literal terms. There are Ines DI PIETRO those who are called to a religious or priestly vocation of celibacy and obedience; a life without a home, spouse or children. There are those who will suffer martyrdom for their faith, confident that ANNIVERSARIES having died for Christ they will be raised like him. On another, deeper level, however, this story Rosina TROIETTO,Orsola BONACCI, Pasquale GIMINO, Carmela, Maria-Teresa & Annita PANE, speaks to the challenge common to all Christians, to “repent” and be changed in mind, heart and way Rocco CENTOFANTI, Angela DIAMANTA, Raffaelo, Giuseppe & Eremenegildo CENTOFANTI, of life (metanoia). In this episode, Jesus is presented as the model for living humanly on a heroic Felice TARANTO scale. He is willing to push beyond the comfortable and familiar as he follows his true calling. This challenge is clearly expressed in today’s second reading from Paul’s letter to the Galatians (5:1,13- 18). Paul tells us that we latter-day disciples are all called to make the heroic journey. We have to go from a life of indulgence and self-centredness – what Paul calls the life of the “flesh” – to a life lived in the “Spirit” of service and selflessness. This is the ironic message that lies at the heart of all great heroic stories, especially that of Jesus. If we want fulfilling lives and just societies, then we must spend the journey of life in making a heroic, self-sacrificing effort “to serve one another through love” (Gal 5:13).
