Thursday. June 22 - St. Paulinus of Nola
Sts. John Fisher and Thomas More
Most American Catholics who are registered
in a parish are "fallen away" from fulfilling
the olbigation of attending Holy Mass on
every Sunday and Holy Day. Furthermore,
how many are fallen away from meeting
the standard that Paul enunciated?
A relationship where love is lessening
is in trouble. If we love the Lord less, we
are not loving Him with all our hearts,
souls,minds, and strength.
Friday, June 23 - SACRED HEART OF JESUS
Deut 7:6-11 - 1John 4:7-16 - Ps 103: 1-4, 8, 10
Matt 11:25-30
On this solemn feast of the Sacred Heart
of Jesus, consecrate every aspect of
your life to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Receive the love of God more than
ever before. Pray" "Jesus, gentle
and humble of heart, make my heart
like Yours. Pray "Sacred Heart of
Jesus, I place my trust in You."
Saturday, June 24 - Nativity of
John the Baptizer
We celebrate the birthday of John
the Baptizer for the same reason
we celebrate the birthday of Mary.
The significance is the realationship
with Jesus. St. John foretold the
coming of the Messiah and our
own rebirth.
Sunday, June 25 - Jer 20:1-13
Rom 5:12-15 - Ps 69:8-10,
14, 17, 33-35 - Matt 10:26-33
Jesus commands:
1- Do not let them intimidate you.
2-Do not fear those who deprive the body
of life but cannot destroy the soul.
3- Do not be afraid of anything.
4- Fear Him Who can destroy both
body and soul in Gehenna.
We are fearless of men because we
have the fear of the Lord. The fear of
the Lord is not only the beginning
of wisdom but also of faith,which leads
to love. When love is complete it
casts out all fear. Thus the grace
of fearlessness come from fear of the
Lord, faith and love.
Monday, June 26 - Gen 121:1-9
Ps 33:12-13, 18-20, 22 - Matt 7:1-5
When Abraham received God's promise
he did not received the land then.
Joshua led the Israelites to the
promised land, but they didn't
possessed it right away.
Abraham and Josua both experienced
delays. As Joshua discovered,
sometimes a delay is a result of God's
kindness. As Abraham learned,
sometimes a delay is for the benefit
of others, not us, and we are to
patiently bear it so others we may
never even meet can be blessed
through us. Is there a delay in
your life that you cannot understand?
Allow God to use it to work all things
to the good.
We are a Roman Catholic church filled with the love of Christ.
We are centered on the Eucharist and the love of our Mother.
We are here to serve all in the name of the Lord
