Friends, on this Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, I want to focus on the Second Reading from Saint Paul's Letter to the Romans. The eighth chapter of Romans represents the culmination of an argument Paul's been making, and the reading for today is the rhetorical high point of that conclusion. This is the first great theologian of the Church naming what is essential to Christianity—so we have to pay attention!

Send us Fan MailBrothers and sisters on this 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time, our readings invite us to reflect on the theme of humility and the gentle power of God's love. In the First reading from Zechariah, we are presented with a beautiful image of a king who comes to us, not in strength or military might like the world wants, but humble and riding on a donkey. The kingdom of God is different. It does not conform to worldly expectations. Instead, our King, Jesus, entered Jerusalem not to conquer with force, but to offer peace and salvation. In today's world, where power and prestige often overshadow humility, we are reminded that God's approach calls us to embrace gentleness.The Psalm further affirms this, praising the Lord for His greatness, yet also acknowledging His kindness and compassion. Our God is not distant; He is near to all who call upon Him. He lifts up those who are bowed down and provides for those who are in need. Each of us, in our struggles and burdens, can find comfort in the tenderness of God's love.In today's Second Reading from the letter to the Romans, St. Paul reminds us that the Spirit of God dwells within us, leading us to live according to His ways. We are not called to the flesh but to a life animated by the Spirit. This is a call to transformation, inviting us to let go of our burdens and to embrace the life God has in store for us.In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus extends a beautiful invitation: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” In our busy lives, we often carry many burdens/yokes such as stress, anxiety, and the weight of our responsibilitiesSupport the show

Daily Scripture Readings and Reflection: Through Christ's Resurrection, death no longer has the final word. In today's Second Reading reflection, Frank Pavone explains the victory of Jesus over death and what that means for believers today. Because Christ lives, we have hope, purpose, and eternal life.

Fourth Sunday after Pentecost, June 21, 2026 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Pastor Nate Kassulke Download Our Worship Series: Say It Out Loud. Today's Theme: Keep the Faith.First Reading: Jeremiah 20:7-13.Second Reading: 2 Timothy 4:1-8.Gospel: Matthew 10:5, 21-33.Sermon Text: 2 Timothy 4:1-8. Use the Word Jesus Gives You.Pastor Nate Kassulke

In this homily, Fr Michael reflects on the Second Reading from Romans and the reality of original sin. Why do pride and jealousy lie at the root of so much suffering? Why does modern culture often speak little about sin while being surrounded by its effects? Beginning with the insight that the human person is made for God and for others, Fr Michael explores how sin turns us inward upon ourselves, replacing trust in God with self-reliance and love of neighbour with jealousy and division. Yet the Gospel is ultimately good news: Christ has already conquered sin through the Cross and shows us the path back to freedom. This homily is a practical reflection on pride, jealousy, grace, redemption, and the quiet triumph of goodness in a noisy world.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Jesus said to his disciples, as we read today (John 14:21-26)“Whoever has my commandments and observes themis the one who loves me.Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father,and I will love him and reveal myself to him.”“The Advocate, the Holy Spiritwhom the Father will send in my name.He will teach you everythingand remind you of all that I told you.”Yesterday, in the Second Reading from the First Letter of St. Peter 2:4-9, the Prince of the Apostles reminded us that we must be holy, for we are the living stones out of which the new spiritual temple of God is formed. The cornerstone is the risen Christ.Because of Him, and through Him, we are able to offer sacrifices which are acceptable to God.Look, the basis of interior peace is our faith in God. Trust in Christ brings stability amid uncertainty and anxiety. It's critical to lift the soul toward eternal realities but not to passing things.Alleluia!

Friends of the Rosary,Today, April 3, is Friday of the Passion of the Lord. It's the Celebration of the Lord's Passion, when the Church mourns the death of our Savior — traditionally a day of sadness, spent in fasting and prayer.The title for this day varies: "Holy Friday" for Latin nations, and "Good Friday", as a derivative of the term "God's Friday”, in English-speaking countries.Today's Mass is divided into three parts: Liturgy of the Word, Veneration of the Cross, and Holy Communion.The liturgy starts with the priests and deacons going to the altar in silence and prostrating themselves in silent prayer.In the readings, we hear the passage of the Suffering Servant from Isaiah (52:13-53:12). The Responsorial Psalm is "Father, I put my life in your hands." The Epistle, or Second Reading, is from the letter to the Hebrews, 4:14-16; 5:7-9. The Gospel reading is the Passion of St. John.The intercessions, at the conclusion of the Liturgy of the Word, are:For the ChurchFor the PopeFor the clergy and laity of the ChurchFor those preparing for BaptismFor the unity of ChristiansFor the Jewish peopleFor those who do not believe in ChristFor those who do not believe in GodFor all in public officeFor those in special needPart two is the Veneration of the Cross. A cross is processed through the Church, and then venerated by the congregation. We joyfully venerate and kiss the wooden cross "on which hung the Savior of the world."Part three, Holy Communion, concludes the Celebration of the Lord's Passion. The Blessed Sacrament is brought to the altar from the place of reposition. The Our Father and the Ecce Agnus Dei ("This is the Lamb of God") are recited.The congregation receives Holy Communion, then there is a "Prayer After Communion," followed by a "Prayer Over the People," and everyone departs in silence.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

ENTRANCE HYMN #135 Songs of Thankfulness and PraiseSEQUENCE HYMN #542 Christ Is the World's True LightOFFERTORY ANTHEM Christ, Upon the Mountain Stands (Lehman)COMMUNION ANTHEM Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring (Bach)POST-COMMUNION HYMN #137 O Wondrous Type! O Vision FairTHE COLLECT OF THE DAYO God, who before the passion of your only begotten Son revealed his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.FIRST READING Exodus 24:12-18Reader A reading from the Book of Exodus.The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and wait there; and I will give you the tablets of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction.” So Moses set out with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God. To the elders he had said, “Wait here for us, until we come to you again; for Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a dispute may go to them.”Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. The glory of the Lord settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days; on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the cloud. Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel. Moses entered the cloud, and went up on the mountain. Moses was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights.ReaderThe Word of the Lord.PeopleThanks be to God.PSALM Psalm 99 Dominus regnavit1 The Lord is King;let the people tremble; *he is enthroned upon the cherubim;let the earth shake.2 The Lord is great in Zion; *he is high above all peoples.3 Let them confess his Name, which is great and awesome; *he is the Holy One.4 "O mighty King, lover of justice,you have established equity; *you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob."5 Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our Godand fall down before his footstool; *he is the Holy One.6 Moses and Aaron among his priests,and Samuel among those who call upon his Name, *they called upon the Lord, and he answered them.7 He spoke to them out of the pillar of cloud; *they kept his testimonies and the decree that he gave them.8 O Lord our God, you answered them indeed; *you were a God who forgave them,yet punished them for their evil deeds.9 Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our Godand worship him upon his holy hill; *for the Lord our God is the Holy One.SECOND READING 2 Peter 1:16-21Reader A Reading from the second letter of Peter.We did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.”

Amen.FIRST READING Micah 6:1-8Reader A reading from the Prophet Micah.Hear what the Lord says: Rise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice. Hear, you mountains, the controversy of the Lord, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the Lord has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.“O my people, what have I done to you? In what have I wearied you? Answer me! For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and redeemed you from the house of slavery; and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. O my people, remember now what King Balak of Moab devised, what Balaam son of Beor answered him, and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the saving acts of the Lord.”“With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt-offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?” He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?ReaderThe Word of the Lord.PeopleThanks be to God.PSALM Psalm 15 Domine, quis habitabit?1 Lord, who may dwell in your tabernacle? *who may abide upon your holy hill?2 Whoever leads a blameless life and does what is right, *who speaks the truth from his heart.3 There is no guile upon his tongue;he does no evil to his friend; *he does not heap contempt upon his neighbor.4 In his sight the wicked is rejected, *but he honors those who fear the Lord.5 He has sworn to do no wrong *and does not take back his word.6 He does not give his money in hope of gain, *nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.7 Whoever does these things *shall never be overthrown.SECOND READING 1 Corinthians 1:18-31Reader A Reading from Paul's first letter to the Corinthians.The message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written,“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the...
