G#{}D rdr\trsz Samuel 7.2i7-Lor e3 / Galatians z:t6, rg-zt lLuke 7:36-8:3lf today's media circus had been alive and well in first-century Palestine, it
would have pounced on the events in today's gospel reading. You can
imagine the headlines: "Mystery Woman Crashes Elegant Dinner; Host
Mortifled." Blogs would light up with sordid details of the woman's sinful
past. Simon the Pharisee would visit talk shows expressing shock and
threatening a lawsuit. The woman would be offered her own reality show:
"Real Sinners of the Mediterranean.'t Of course; after two days of nonstop
coverage, the whole event would be forgotten.
For Jesus, none of this drama mattered. His focus was solely on this woman
who, though uninvited, made her way to him and publicly demonstrated her
great r..puntun.". ln spite of Simon's protests and, most likely, the rest of
the attendees' shock, Jesus gave her his full attention, and most important,
his forgiveness. No gossip, no dramatic expelling of the woman, no show of
great po*.t. Just a quiet and humble exchange between Jesus and a
repentant sinner.
And so it can be for us, especially in the sacrament of reconciliation. Jesus
waits with a calm and compassionate heart for our sincere repentance. We
need only to name our sin, as the woman did, and ask forgiveness.
No matter what other voices complain against us, no matter how grave our
sin, no matter how long it has been-Jesus'attention is on us and us alone.
No media circus, no expert analysis, no dredging up everything bad we've
ever done. Just an honest, humble encounter between us and the Lord.
Listen. Can you hear Jesus say, "Your sins are forgiven?"Janel Eske r I su ndaybulleti n @ li g uori - org

de ar PAD RE'
(^) I'm studyinp thr Gospel of Mark. Mark 7:75 quotesJesus as\s& saying, iRiprnt, and belieue in the gospel." Siice tlre gospels
hadn't been written yet, what was he referring to?
A These days when we say the wordgospel, we tend toz r
be talking about one of the four written Gospels ofthe New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and
John. But the word gospel wasn't originally tied to anyparticular written form of communication. In frct,the Greek word we translate to gospel--luangelion-simply means "good news."
When Jesus says, "Repent and believe in the gospel,"he is basically saying, "Repent and believe in the goodnews." For Jesus, the nature of that Good News is
clear: Jesus is announcing the coming of God'skingdom, the initiation of the fullness of God's reignon earth. Jesus preaches this Good News in word andaction and makes it real through his life, death, andresurrectlon.
After Jesus' resurrection and ascension, many of hisfollowers were inspired by the Holy Spirit to go intothe world and continue Christ's Gospelproclamation.
The apostles and disciples did this by word of mouthat first, but within a few decades they decided tocommit the message of Christ's Good News towriting, giving us the Gospel books we know today.

My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. Inchoosing to do wrong and failing to do good, ! havesinned against you whom I should love above allthings.I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no
