Saturday, June z7:
A fourth-century legend from Catholics in the East-ern part of the Roman Empire tells us the name of the woman in today's Gospel is Beronike. A woman of great faith, she knew that the Law considered her unclean because she had a flow of blood and no one could touch her. When she saw Jesus, she didn't ask him to touch or even speak to her. She didn't want him to feel what she felt-outcast and isolated. She simply believed that touching his garment would bring her relief. A couple of weeks ago, 5t. Paul told us that we walk by faith, not by sight. Faith was all this woman had to go on; everything else had failed. What she heard about Jesus stirred something in her soul, and she followed her convictions. She wasn't disappointed. The power of Christ, who heals us of whatever deeply wounds us, went out immediately to her who dared to hope. When he called out to see who touched him, her fear didn't keep her away. She was saved by faith. Being saved doesn't always mean miraculous cures, but it does involve standing before Christ as we are- bleeding, broken, sinful-and trusting that he is our answer. We don't know for sure what happened to the woman. But her legend continued. When Jesus carried his crossto his crucifixion, a woman stepped outto stop the flow of blood and sweat streaking his face. We know her by the Latin transla-tion of Beronike-Veronica-which carries with it an additional meaning: "true iconr" in reference to the facial image that Jesus left on her M a ry Kath ari ne D eeley s u n day b u lleti n @ ig u o r i. o rg cloth.

Pope Francis declared zor5 to be the Year of Consecrated Life. lt is a time to remember and give thanks for the religious who brought and nurtured the Catholic faith in Hawaii. And, to invite others to consider becoming a priest or religious. Next month, the Diocese's Vocation Office will be visiting our parish with a Travelling Exhibit of the work of religious in Hawaii. Come, meet and greet them. Free materials will be distributed for everyone to grow in the gift of consecration.

rodeos are cruel to aninuls,
cruel when I leaue my ttuo dogs in cages while at work. Does the Church teach arrything about this? otlrcrs don't.
My sister thinks I'nt
The Catechisru of the Catholic Church (241,G241,8) talk about how we should treat animals. In short, animals are God's creatures and we owe them kindness. However, we may use animals for food, clothing, and to help us in our work and leisure. Therefore, it is morally acceptable to use animals for medical and scientific ex?eriments within reasonable limits if they contribute to caring for and saving human lives. But we should not cause animals to suffer or die needlessly, and we should not spend excessive money on them that could go toward relieving human misery or love animals with the same affection due only to persons. Thus, using animals in rodeos could be justified as entertainment. No one tries to injure the animals on purpose. In fact, people often go out of their way to keep the animals healthy. As for caging your dogs, there are tiny cages that could inflict cruelry and other ty?es that afford comfort, space, and safery. But if you cage your dogs, also make certain they get adequate exercise. FR.
