Jesus responds to the lawyer’s question with a par-able that illustrates how keeping the law isn’t a matter of focusing on details regarding right or wrong or personal gain, but is a matter of right of right relationships with one’s neighbor as exhibited by acting with compassion and mercy. The Samaritan in the parable isn’t moved to help the stricken traveler because of the law but because he was a person of compassion and mercy. This is the law written within our hearts—not details about keeping specific laws but a general regard for the other that arises out of genuine care for the other. (Living Liturgy, p.172)

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
On a summer day, with the windows open, we may hear the sound of church bells. Bells seem to have come into church life in Irish monas-teries around the seventh century, and spread around the Christian world by Irish monks on missionary journeys. By the eighth century, bells were standard equipment in even small parish churches. An ancient ceremony, once called the “baptism of the bells,” recognizes that the church bell has a voice to call people to awareness and summon them to worship, and even bestows a name on the bell.
In a world without clocks or watches, the bell had an indispensable role. For calling monks in from the fields for prayer, or alerting far‑flung visitors, the bell’s voice was enhanced by hoisting it high into a tower. Soon it was learned that the sound of several bells clanging together in harmony imparted a sense of joy to great celebrations, and bell towers prospered, some chock full of bells. Dif-ferent combinations of rings could indicate a death, a Mass, a wedding, a fast day, the curfew
at the end of day, and the Angelus. Be-fore electricity, bell-ringing was hard work indeed: the biggest bell in the Catholic world, in Cologne, Germany, weighs twenty‑seven tons! There’s no substitute for the resonant roar of a mighty bell; electric chimes are not eli-gible for blessing!
LIVING GOD’S COMMANDS
The first reading forms part of Moses’ farewell dis-course, a call to the people to return to God. It is not a legalistic summons; rather, it is an appeal to heart and soul. It outlines a command that is not impossible to fol-low, or too difficult to undertake, or too expensive. Look into your hearts, says Moses; there you will find what to do.
Paul sees Jesus Christ as the image of God, the agent of creation and preservation. We sense, in his words, things profound: “dominions or principalities or powers.” But in the midst of that, Paul keeps his attention on Jesus Christ, head of the church. It is in Christ that we find full-ness and reconciliation—in the blood of the cross.
Luke’s Gospel illustrates the double commandment of love with the story of the Good Samaritan. The story is a radical one, for it comes to focus on the question of who my “neighbor” is. That neighbor is not identified with any group, but rather by the scope of our compassion.
I ask everyone to continue to pay special attention to this most
impor-tant issue of respect for human life from the moment of conception…
safeguarding every human being from the very first moment of his or
her existence.
~ Pope Francis, Regina Caeli Address, May 12, 2013
For the sick, the elderly and the dying:

La primera lectura forma parte del discurso de despedi-da de Moisés, un llamado al pueblo a volver a Dios. No es un mandato legalista sino más bien un ruego al corazón y al alma. Esboza un mandamiento que no es imposible se-guir ni muy difícil de cumplir, ni muy costoso. Miren en sus corazón, dice Moisés; y sabrán que hacer.
Pablo ve a Jesucristo como la imagen de Dios, el agen-te de la creación y de la preservación. Deagen-tectamos, en sus palabras, cosas profundas: “gobiernos, autoridades, poderes y fuerzas sobrenaturales”. Pero en medio de todo esto, Pa-blo mantiene su atención en Jesucristo, cabeza de la Iglesia. Es en Cristo que encontramos satisfacción y reconciliación –por su sangre derramada en la cruz.
El Evangelio de Lucas ilustra el doble mandamiento del amor con la historia del Buen Samaritano. La historia es radical porque enfoca la pregunta ¿Quién es mi “prójimo”? Ese prójimo no se identifica con ningún grupo sino más bien por el alcance de nuestra compasión. LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Escuchen la voz del Señor. Es algo muy cerca de ti, y está en tu corazón; sólo necesitas observarla (Deuteronomio 30:10-14).
Salmo — Escúchame, Señor, porque eres bueno (Salmo 69 [68])
o Salmo 19 (18).
Segunda lectura — Todas las cosas fueron creadas median-te y para Cristo Jesús (Colosenses 1:15-20).
Evangelio — Ser un vecino, mostrar amor tratando a otros con misericordia (Lucas 10:25-37).
FELICIDAD
Puesto que la felicidad no es más que disfrutar el bien Su-premo, y el bien Supremo está por encima de nosotros, nadie puede ser feliz si no se eleva por encima de sí mismo. —San Buenaventura
AMOR Y CONFIANZA Poco amor, poca confianza. —Proverbio inglés

Sábado: San Apolinario; Santa María Virgen TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Desde 1913, en la ciudad de Puntarenas, Costa Rica, la Virgen del Carmen es reconocida como la Virgen del Mar. En aquel año un barco llamado el Galileo naufraga en una tempestad y el pueblo angustiado por sus seres queridos recurrió al templo de la Virgen para pedir auxi-lio. Algunos días después todos los tripulantes fueron res-catados y llevados a Puntarenas. Según los tripulantes, mientras las lluvias y vientos amenazaban al Galileo una mujer los animó a que se echasen al agua y nadaran a tie-rra firme. Allí ella los alimentó y los acompañó hasta que fueron rescatados.
Llenos de alegría, el pueblo llevó a los rescatados a la iglesia para dar gracias. Estos reconocieron a la Virgen del Carmen como la mujer que los había ayudado. Desde entonces el sábado más cercano al 16 de julio, el pueblo celebra en grande la fiesta del Carmen con grandes desfi-les de barcos y yates. Entre música y fuegos artificiadesfi-les los costarricenses vienen en embarcaciones adornadas desde toda la nación a celebrar con la Virgen del Mar que también se encuentra en una embarcación.
