MARY MAGDALENE, DETAIL—DESCENT FROM THE CROSS

Archdiocese of Baltimore. Divine Mercy Parish or the Archdiocese of Baltimore does not direct, supervise, or control the activity of this event.
Meditation: What fuels the love that surpasses all other loves? Unbounding gratitude for sure! No one who met Jesus could do so with indifference. They were either attracted to him or repelled by him. Why did a woman with a bad reputation approach Jesus and anoint him with her tears and costly perfume at the risk of ridicule and abuse by others? The woman's action was motivated by one thing, and one thing only, namely, her love for Jesus - she loved greatly out of gratitude for the kindness and forgiveness she had received from Jesus. She did something a Jewish woman would never do in public. She loosened her hair and anointed Jesus with her tears. It was customary for a woman on her wedding day to bind her hair. For a married woman to loosen her hair in public was a sign of grave immodesty. This woman was oblivious to all around her, except for Jesus.
Love gives all - the best we have She also did something which only love can do. She took the most precious thing she had and spent it all on Jesus. Her love was not calculated but extravagant. In a spirit of humility and heart-felt repentance, she lavishly served the one who showed her the mercy and kindness of God. Jesus, in his customary fashion, never lost the opportunity to draw a lesson from such a deed.
"Lord Jesus, your grace is sufficient for me. Fill my heart with love and gratitude for the mercy you have shown to me and give me joy and freedom to love and serve others with kindness and respect."

Fortnight for Freedom | The Catholic Church in the United States will ob-serve a Fortnight for Freedom, June 21-July 4. The Fortnight is a time for pray-er, education, and action to support and defend religious freedom in our Na-tion and around the world. This year’s Fortnight will celebrate past and present “witnesses to religious freedom.” The Archdiocese of Baltimore will host events to mark the Fortnight, beginning with the nationally-televised national opening Mass, celebrated by Archbishop William E. Lori, at the Baltimore Basili-ca on June 21st at 7pm. More information can be found at www.archbalt.org.
Wellness Matters From Our Parish Health Nurse, Lisa Bohrer Hot water from baths and showers can pose a serious scalding risk for you and your children. Follow these precautions to prevent injury:
Always test the bath water yourself before you or your child get in the tub or shower.
Adjust your hot water to the “low medium” setting of 120 degrees.
Don’t allow children to play with the faucets while taking a bath or shower.
Never use a hot steam humidifier around children. Use the cool mist variety instead.
