11th Sunday in Ordinary Time 16 June 2007

This Homily (15 minutes) given by Deacon Charles Rohrbacher at the Saturday 5:30 pm Mass. Deacon Charles is reminded of the Mary of Egypt who when ask who she was said, "I am a sinner, I am a women, and I am beloved by God." Do I have the same humble honesty about the real presence of sin in my life ballenaced with the depth od God's love for me? In today's readings King David, St. Paul, and the "sinful woman" all declare their sinfulness and are forgiven and drawn closer into relationship with God. They respond to forgiveness in gratitude.

Readings: 2 Samuel 12:7-10, 13, Psalm 32:1-2, 5, 7, 11, Galatians 2:16, 19-21, Luke 7:36-8:3.
