Welcome to Good Shepherd Chapel

Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

The story of Jesus in the home of Martha and Mary complements the story of the Good Samaritan, which immediately precedes it in Luke's Gospel. Both stories are unique to Luke. The story of the Samaritan opens with the words a certain man. Today's reading opens with the words a certain woman. The Samaritan is an example of how a disciple should see and act. Mary is an example of how a disciple should listen. Mary, a woman, is a marginalized person in society, like the Samaritan. Both do what is not expected of them. As a woman, Mary would be expected, like Martha, to prepare hospitality for a guest. Here again Jesus breaks with the social conventions of his time. Just as a Samaritan would not be a model for neighborliness, so a woman would not sit with the men around the feet of a teacher. Both stories exemplify how a disciple is to fulfill the dual command which begins chapter 10 love of God (Mary) and love of neighbor (the Samaritan). These are the two essentials of life in the kingdom. By using the examples of a Samaritan and a woman, however, Jesus is saying something more. Social codes and boundaries were strict in Jesus' time. Yet to love God with all one's heart and one's neighbor requires breaking those rules. The Kingdom of God is a society without distinctions and boundaries between its members. It is a society that requires times for seeing and doing and also times for listening and learning at the feet of a teacher. Retrieved from http://www.loyola.com/sundayconnection.

Movie Review
Grown Ups 2
By Kurt Jensen Catholic News Service NEW YORK (CNS) -- Eventually, Adam Sandler is going to make a film that consists entirely of a single unbroken stream of urine. Until then, there's "Grown Ups 2" (Columbia), which comes fairly close. This nearly plotless sequel to his 2010 comedy consists of a series of vignettes that abandon character development for sight gags, nearly all of them involving body functions, most of them scatological, and hits to the crotch when they don't involve leering at women's breasts. Director Dennis Dugan and Sandler, who co-wrote with Fred Wolf and Tim Herlihy, pick up the story of Sandler's successful Hollywood producer Lenny Feder, who has returned to his hometown with wife Roxanne (Salma Hayek Pinoult) and their three children. He continues his adventures with former high school classmates Eric (Kevin James), Kurt (Chris Rock) and Marcus (David Spade) on the last day of the schoolyear. Marcus deals with his newly discovered and thuggish out-of-wedlock son, Braden (Alexander Ludwig). Eric has an unseemly attachment to his mother (Georgia Engel). Lenny deals with old issues involving bully Tommy (Steve Austin). Kurt tries to find a way to exploit the fact that wife Deanne (Maya Rudolph) has forgotten their wedding anniversary. Collectively, they deal with the bullying of a noisy group of frat boys who have taken over their childhood swimming hole. In this movie's universe, the only purpose women in exercise tights have are for ogling, bald men are for slapping around, and Nick Swardson's mentally ill and over-medicated bus driver, Nick, is for a wide range of crude physical humor when he's not leering at a gay exercise instructor. Nearly every possible sight gag involving excretory functions, whether with beer bottles or a soft-serve ice cream machine, is put into use, beginning with a runaway deer in the opening minutes. For good measure, there are three vomiting sequences. The tenuous plot threads combine during Lenny's raucous '80s party at the finish. The film contains nearly nonstop scatological references, fleeting rear male nudity, mild sexual banter and fleeting crass language. The Catholic News Service classification is A-III -- adults.
