Bible reading of Sunday, August 05, 2012

14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. 15 Nothing outside a person can de le them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that de les them. [16] [a] 17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. 18 Are you so dull? he asked. Dont you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can de le them? 19 For it doesnt go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body. (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.) 20 He went on: What comes out of a person is what de les them. 21 For it is from within, out of a persons heart, that evil thoughts comesexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and de le a person.

Saint Alphonsa Biography

Born as Annakkutty in Kudamaloor, a rural village in Kottayam district, Kerala, India, to Joseph and Mary Muttathupadathu. She was baptized on August 27, 1910 at Saint Mary's Church in Kudamaloor under the patronage of Saint Anna. Anna's mother died when she was very young, so her maternal aunt raised her. Anna was educated by her great-uncle Father Joseph Muttathupadathu. When Anna was 3 years old, she contracted eczema and su ered from it for over a year. In 1916 she started school in Arpookara. She received First Communion on November 27, 1917. In 1918 she transferred to the school in Muttuchira. In 1923 Anna badly burned her feet when she fell into a pit of burning cha . This accident left her permanently disabled. She arrived at the Poor Clares convent at Bharananganam on Pentecost 1927. She received the postulant's veil on August 2, 1928 and took the name Alphonsa. In May 1929 she entered the Malayalam High School at Vazhappally. On May 19, 1930 she received her religious habit at Bharananganam. Three days later she resumed her studies at Changanacherry, while working as a temporary teacher at the school at Vakakkad. On August 11, 1931 she joined the novitiate. She took her permanent vows on August 12, 1936. Two days later she returned to Bharananganam from Changanacherry. She taught elementary school, but was often sick and unable to teach. In December 1936 she was reportedly cured from her ailments through the intervention of Saint Thrse of Lisieux and Blessed Kuriakose Elias Chavara, but on June 14, 1939 she was struck by a severe attack of double-pneumonia, which left her weakened. On October 18, 1940, a thief stumbled into her room in the middle of the night. This traumatic event caused her to su er amnesia, and weakened her again. Her health continued to deteriorate over a period of months. She received extreme unction on September 29, 1941. The next day she regained her memory, though not complete health. Her health improved over the next few years, until in July 1945 she developed a s tomach problem that caused vomiting. She died on July 28, 1946, aged 35. She is buried at Bharananganam, South India in the Diocese of Palai.
