July 14, 2019 | Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Shrine Herald NATIONAL SHRINE OF THE LITTLE FLOWER BASILICA ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH We Will Be A Band Of Joyful Missionary Disciples. Thoughts from Monsignor McClory Dear Parish Family: The Good Samaritan and Unleash the Gospel This weekend we hear the story of compassion and charity in the story of the Good Samaritan. As we reflect on that outpouring of mercy, we can draw inspiration in all of our charitable efforts from this passage in Archbishop Allen Vigneron’s pastoral letter Unleash the Gospel: Evangelical Charity: Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16 Our service to the poor and marginalized needs to be a clear witness to Jesus our Lord, not mistaken for humanist philanthropy. Catholics around the world and in our local Church have developed a remarkable network of charitable programs for health care, disaster relief, hunger alleviation, poverty reduction, refugee aid, family services, counseling, and help for people in every form of need. We must continue and intensify these works of service that manifest God’s love to those around us. … We need to ensure that in ministering to the material needs of others we are also responding to their spiritual thirst for God. Every Catholic charitable work must also be an authentic expression of Catholic faith. We must be unabashed to speak Read More from the name of Jesus and to invite every person to the fullness of life in him. The world needs the light that Fr. John McKenzie is in Christ alone.
