SALMA, BANGLADESH Salma sought the help of a midwife trained by Caritas’ Safe Motherhood Program. Salma was 18, pregnant, in pain and fearful for her own and her unborn child’s life, when she featured in Project Compassion 2013.

She lives with her husband, Masud, in rural Bangladesh, where maternal

and infant mortality rates are

tragically high.

Thankfully, Salma was helped

through her pregnancies by a

Caritas-trained midwife called

Pronoti. The Safe Motherhood

program has now reduced the

area’s maternal and infant

mortality by almost 70 percent.

The Caritas Safe Motherhoods

Program not only trains the

Rural Midwives, but very often

they meet and talk with women to build awareness about women’s health,

nutrition, pregnancy and post pregnancy issues.

Now 24, Salma watches her two children play happily.

This gospel combines the themes that have been emerging during Lent: the goodness and mercy of God and the need for repentance. It is an interesting exercise to concentrate on the woman in this story. She is dragged in by the religious authorities to be used as a ‘thing’ to test Jesus. In this early phase of the encounter, Jesus does not look at the woman or acknowledge her presence but addresses his response to the crowd and to the scribes and Pharisees. It is only after they have left the scene in shame that he turns his attention to the woman and establishes personal contact with her, confirming that she is a human person and not a ‘thing’. The intimacy of his address to her as ‘Woman’ echoes the term he uses in addressing his mother (John 2:4, John 19:26). Jesus neither condemns nor condones. He simply accepts the woman as she is and invites her to a new life. It is acceptance and love that allows repentance and change to occur in others.

REFLECTION

Have you had the experience of being unconditionally

loved and accepted by another?

Who are those people in your life who you love and accept

unconditionally?

The Summit Online

First Reading Isaiah 43:16–21 I am doing a new thing and I will give drink to my people. Responsorial Psalm Ps 125. R. v. 3 R. The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy. Second Reading Philippians 3:8–14 Because of Christ I look upon everything else as useless in order to gain him. Gospel Acclamation Joel 2:12–13 With all your heart turn to me, for I am tender and com-passionate. Gospel John 8:1–11 Let the person without sin be the first to throw a stone.

DATE CLAIMER: A concert featuring music by Vivaldi, JS Bach and Mozart will be held in St Mary’s Church on Sunday 16th June at 7pm.

Prayer For Rain Almighty and everlasting God, you have given

us this earth to care for and delight in.

Look with mercy on our need for rain for our

parched land. We pray that life-giving rain will

soon fall. We pray for those suffering from the

severity of this drought—people working on the

land, and those in business who depend on

farming and grazing for their livelihoods.

Father, help them to know your love and care,

and to bring their burdens to

you. Guide all those who are

seeking to |provide help and

bring healing in the midst of

so much pain. We ask these things through

Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
