11th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Sunday, 13th June 2010
...
 

The Pharisee said to himself: “If this man were a prophet he would know who this woman is that is touching him and what a bad name she has”. Once more we have a beautiful example of how Jesus treats women with gentleness and care. This time, however, we also see how he treats someone who is considered a sinner. All he has for her is compassion and understanding and forgiveness. This was a source of scandal for the people around him. How do we treat one another when someone fails? Very often it is with criticism or anger or condemnation. That is not the way of Jesus. We are called to practice the same qualities of love with one another as Jesus has for the woman in this story. We practice gentleness and understanding in the close relationships of marriage and family life. This can be difficult at times. And we need the same qualities within our faith community if we are to be true followers of Christ.

The African community in the Monaghan area celebrated Africa Day on Saturday 22nd May in St. Macartan's Hall,
Monaghan, 2-6 pm. There was a display of African culture - songs and music, dance, fashion - and appetising African food for everybody present. In the month leading up to the event a poster competition was held among the children of some primary schools in the area. "Irish Aid" gave a substantial grant towards the cost of the event, for which the organisers - Monaghan Immigrant Support Group - are most grateful.
