The Eighth Sunday after Pentecost and the Sixteenth Sunday of the Year – This week’s bulletin for Mary Immaculate of Lourdes, Newton:

MaryImmaculate-2012-07-22

Front cover:  A stained glass window which shows Christ with Mary Magdalene and her sister Martha.  The Scripture scene depicted is from St. Luke, Chapter 10:38-42.  Mary Magdalene sits at Christ’s feet, while Martha is busy with the duties of hospitality.  Christ says: “Martha, Martha, thou art careful, and art troubled about many things: but one thing is necessary.  Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.”  In the liturgical tradition of the Roman Catholic Church, Mary Magdalene is identified with the sister of Martha and Lazarus at Bethany, as well as the unnamed sinner-woman of Luke 7.  St. Mary Magdalene’s feast-day is July 22nd and her sister St. Martha’s is a week later on July 29th.

Front Cover:  The stained glass window which shows the Divine Maternity of Mary, holding the Christ Child in her arms.  The Latin “ora pro nobis” means “pray for us” and comes from the Hail Mary: “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.  Amen.”  The windows on the Oak Street side of the church catch the fullness of the late afternoon sun.  Especially during the long days of the summer, the sunlight gives these windows a brilliant effect.  Photo by Paul Eldridge.
