Anche se uno è ricco la sua vita non dipende dai suoi beni. Nella prima lettura Qoelet ripete come una specie di ritornello: “tutto è vanità”; vanità anche i beni ottenuti, che si dovranno lasciare. L’esistenza è breve e problematica; non si sa se valga la pena di viverla. Ma poi lo stesso Qoèlet darà la soluzione: “Ricordati del tuo Creatore. Temi Dio e osserva i suoi comandamenti, perché egli giudicherà il bene e il male che tu compi”. Sant’Agostino in modo folgorante ammonisce: “Tu ami la terra? Terra sarai. Tu ami Dio? ... Dio sarai”.

“Il padre darà lo spirito a quanti glielo chiedono”
In un racconto giapponese si narra di tre bambini di fronte a un cuculo. Il primo vuole imporgli di cantare, il secondo sostiene che è meglio invitarlo a cantare, il terzo - il più piccolo - dice: “Io aspetterò semplicemente che canti”. Ecco il nostro atteggiamento corretto di fronte a Dio: da lui attendiamo che la sua grazia canti in noi, per questo nella preghiera che Gesù ci ha consegnato noi narriamo a Dio le opere grandi del suo amore e gli chiediamo che quanto egli ha compiuto nel suo Figlio unigenito si realizzi anche nella nostra vita (Vangelo), noi che, mediante il Battesimo, siamo suoi figli adottivi (II Lettura).
PRAY FOR OUR PRIESTS: This week’s intentions: (Sun) Fr. Theodore Nnorom; (Mon) Fr. Moses Nwosu; (Tues) Fr. James Panikulam; (Wed) Fr. Francis Pudicherry; (Thurs) Fr. Umberto Rizzi; (Fri) Fr. Rey Ronquillo; (Sat.) Fr. Ron Rovago.

Today’s readings speak of hospitality. Abraham, who cheerfully did for his guests all that desert hospitality required, was rewarded with his heart’s desire - a son. Martha also busied herself with all the details of hospitality, but grudgingly and with complaint. Am I a cheerful or a grudging giver?
BAPTISM: Grace Morgan Bisignano was baptized in the Lord. Congratulations to her family.
GOD GRANT THEM ETERNAL REST

Marta lo accolse nella sua casa Maria ha scelto la parte migliore. Non è infrequente che, avendo ospiti a casa, ci si divida i compiti: uno predispone ciò che è necessario per la convivialità, l’altro intrattiene l’ospitato e si interessa di ciò che ha da dire! A volte, però, ciò che prende il sopravvento è l’aspetto materiale, l’esibizione di ciò che si sa fare perché l’invitato non resti deluso dal trattamento riservato e così torni a casa contento. Rischio in cui stava incorrendo Marta che, tutta presa nei preparativi, addirittura chiede aiuto alla sorella Maria...Gesù ricorda a Marta che in quel momento una sola era la cosa essenziale: ascoltare la sua Parola ed entrare in comunione con lui.

Fr. Allan Savage leaves for his new responsibilities at the English-speaking parish of St. Patrick, 1145 de Salaberry, Quebec City, PQ, G1R 2V6, Tel: (418) 524-3544, on Tuesday 27 July 2010. His last Mass at St. Dominic’s will be on Sunday, July 25 at 8:30 a.m. You are welcome to join him for coffee in the parish hall after this Mass.
It has been a pleasure and a joy for me to assist Fr. Dan at St. Dominic’s as the various occasions demanded. He and all the parishioners made me feel most welcome over the years. St. Dominic’s is a vibrant parish and the assistance I was able to provide during Christmas, Easter, the weekend Masses and other liturgical activities, has provided me with valuable experience that I am sure will benefit me with my new parish responsibilities. Please consider this as an open invitation to visit St. Patrick’s any time you may be in Quebec City. Blessings to all, Fr. Allan Savage.
