THIS SUNDAY’S READINGS
2 Samuel 12:7-10. 13 The account of David’s adultery with Bathsheba is a great story. When Bathsheba tells him she is pregnant, he tries to disguise his crime by persuading Uriah, her husband, to sleep with her. When Uriah refuses, David ar-ranges to have him killed in battle, in the hope of escaping the charge of adultery. This is where our reading begins, as David’s own prophet, Nathan, tells David the score. David’s is a story of rags-to-riches, shepherd boy to king, outwitting King Saul at every step, winning his way into the counsels of the Philistines, gradually building-up his powerbase. For all his charismatic leadership, courage, ability to charm both men and women, skilled (and often crooked) diplomacy, David’s true greatness lies in his repentance which we witness in this scene. In the Bible he is the model of the great sinner and the great repentant – indeed of the great public penitent, for he repents humbly and unremittingly. Amid all his faults, David’s warm and open relationship to the LORD is his salvation. It is glimpsed often in his story, and, though it does not save him from his great fall over Bathsheba, yet it brings him back to the LORD in heartfelt penitence. The story is, of course, chosen by the Church to pair with today’s gospel reading about repentance. Galatians 2:16. 19-21 After Eastertide and the celebration of the feasts of the Lord we return to our readings from Ordinary Time and find ourselves in the mid-dle of St Paul’s letter to the Galatians. St Paul is addressing a group in the Roman province of Galatia (part of modern day Turkey), who were probably mostly Jew-ish; he has helped them to see that the promises to Abraham were fulfilled in Christ. Then some other Jewish Christians came down from Jerusalem and told these new Christians that they must still observe the Jewish Law. St Paul was furi-ous, calls them ‘Fools!’, and re-asserts his teaching that one must trust only in Christ and his resurrection. He asks them to tell him who is the source of the works of the Spirit, which were plain for all to see among them. Is it the Law or is it Christ (who now lives in them)? Half measures will not do, and St Paul goes on to tell of the total commitment of his own life to Christ. Once a burningly zealous Pharisee, he is now dead to the Law and lives only with the life of the Spirit in Christ. We cannot win our own salvation; it is won for us by Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross. St Luke 7:36 - 8.3 This is a story of devotion and repentance, but a story also of the welcome of and hospitality given to Jesus. He does not rebuke the sinner or interrogate her. He sets no pre-conditions, demands no promise of improvement. The details of her sin are unimportant to him; the heartfelt repentance is all that matters. Of all the evangelists St Luke especially stores up stories of the return of sinners: the Prodigal Son, the Pharisee and the Tax-Collector at Prayer, Zacchaeus, the Good Thief and the story of this woman too. To St Matthew’s story of Joy at the Man’s Found Sheep St Luke adds the story of Joy at the Woman’s Found Coin (typically adding an example using a woman as well as a man). In contrast with Jesus and the woman stands the host at the dinner party, Simon the Pharisee. Si-mon is not evil, but is a stickler for the observance of the Law, and is judgmental of others. However, Jesus is attentive to Simon as well: he gives him a question he can answer so that Jesus can affirm him; then Jesus points out Simon’s shortcom-ings, then gently but firmly offering to Simon too the opportunity for repentance.

WELCOME THE STRANGER: HELP for REFUGEES
Introducing the Year of Mercy Pope Francis wrote:“It is my burning desire that, during this Jubilee , the Chris-tian people may rediscover these corporal works of mercy: to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, heal the sick, visit the imprisoned, and bury the dead.”
Refugee Week 20th - 26th June 2016.In response to the refugee crisis at the present time all donations to the Poor Box from Monday 13th June to Sunday 3rd July will be passed to Cambridge Ethnic Community Forum for their work with refugees – please be generous. There are two organisations active in Cambridge, described below, who would welcome your support be that your time, money or goods.
Cambridge Refugee Resettlement Campaign (CRRC) is a group of volunteers working within Cambridge to welcome refugees and those seeking asylum, fleeing persecution and war. The aim is to positively influence public opinion on refu-gees, enabling the people of Cambridgeshire to volunteer their services and provisions to help those newly arrived in the area.
Ways you can help: Donate furniture, household and electrical goods, clothing, toys, baby/toddler equipment, stationery to add to
the provision offered by the local council. Volunteer your time and skills to help with the campaign. Passionate and driven individuals are needed to
take responsibility for key tasks. Specific jobs and needs are advertised on the website. Pledge your time and skills to support refugees in Cambridge. The exact needs vary; check the website or face-
book page for details. Landlords – can you offer a property to a refugee family? Get in touch to learn about the conditions and details. See http://www.cambridgerefugees.org for further details of CRRC activities and to pledge your support. Get in touch via [email protected] Follow @CamRefugees and join the Facebook group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cambridgerefugees/ for regular updates.
Cambridge Calais Refugee Action Group (CamCRAG) is a group of people who live in and around Cambridge work-ing to help the refugees living in the camp in Calais. They aim to raise awareness of the situation and to provide prac-tical help to the refugees by fundraising and organising regular convoys travel to Calais to help build shelters and distribute aid. Specific items are collected for each convoy focussing on the needs of the moment. To see how you can help this group: http://cambridgecalaisrefugeeaction.org.uk/ and/or join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/camb4calais/ On June 25th to Castle Street Methodist Church from 10am to 3pm volunteers will be on hand to accept donat-ed goods. It is essential that only items needed in the camps are collected – volunteers there are struggling to sort and store unwanted items. Please visit this page which covers exactly what is needed – https://cambridgecalaisrefugeeaction.org.uk/2016/05/26/donations-drop-off-and-sort/ Your generosity is appreciated, but please do NOT bring unwanted items along, as there is not the space to store them.
