June 30, 2020 - Tuesday of the Thirteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 8:23-27
Optional Memorial of The First Martyrs of the Holy Roman Church

As Jesus got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea,
   so that the boat was being swamped by waves;
   but he was asleep.
They came and woke him, saying,
   “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
He said to them, “Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?”
Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea,
   and there was great calm.
The men were amazed and said, “What sort of man is this,
   whom even the winds and the sea obey?”

June 29, 2020 - Monday of the Thirteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 16:13-19
Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles

When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi
   he asked his disciples,
   “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah,
   still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Simon Peter said in reply,
   “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah.
For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.
And so I say to you, you are Peter,
   and upon this rock I will build my church,
   and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.
I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven.
Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven;
   and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

June 27, 2020 - Saturday of the Twelfth Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 8:5-17
Optional Memorial of Saint Cyril of Alexandria, Bishop and Doctor

When Jesus entered Capernaum,
   a centurion approached him and appealed to him, saying,
   “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, suffering dreadfully.”
He said to him, “I will come and cure him.”
The centurion said in reply,
   “Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof;
   only say the word and my servant will be healed.
For I too am a man subject to authority,
   with soldiers subject to me.
And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes;
   and to another, ‘Come here,’ and he comes;
   and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him,
   “Amen, I say to you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith.
I say to you, many will come from the east and the west,
   and will recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
   at the banquet in the Kingdom of heaven,
   but the children of the Kingdom
   will be driven out into the outer darkness,
   where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.”
And Jesus said to the centurion,
   “You may go; as you have believed, let it be done for you.”
And at that very hour his servant was healed.
 
Jesus entered the house of Peter,
   and saw his mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever.
He touched her hand, the fever left her,
   and she rose and waited on him.
 
When it was evening, they brought him many
   who were possessed by demons,
   and he drove out the spirits by a word and cured all the sick,
   to fulfill what had been said by Isaiah the prophet:
 
   He took away our infirmities and bore our diseases.

June 26, 2020 - Friday of the Twelfth Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 8:1-4

When Jesus came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.
And then a leper approached, did him homage, and said,
   “Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.”
He stretched out his hand, touched him, and said,
   “I will do it.  Be made clean.”
His leprosy was cleansed immediately.
Then Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one,
   but go show yourself to the priest,
   and offer the gift that Moses prescribed;
   that will be proof for them.”

June 25, 2020  Thursday of the Twelfth Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 7:21-29

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’
   will enter the kingdom of heaven,
   but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day,
   ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name?
Did we not drive out demons in your name?
Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?’
Then I will declare to them solemnly,
   ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.’

“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them
   will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
The rain fell, the floods came,
   and the winds blew and buffeted the house.
But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock.
And everyone who listens to these words of mine
   but does not act on them
   will be like a fool who built his house on sand.
The rain fell, the floods came,
   and the winds blew and buffeted the house.
And it collapsed and was completely ruined.”

When Jesus finished these words,
   the crowds were astonished at his teaching,
   for he taught them as one having authority,
   and not as their scribes.

June 24, 2020 - Solemnity of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist

Luke 1:57-66,80

When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have her child
   she gave birth to a son.
Her neighbors and relatives heard
   that the Lord had shown his great mercy toward her,
   and they rejoiced with her.
When they came on the eighth day to circumcise the child,
   they were going to call him Zechariah after his father,
   but his mother said in reply,
   “No. He will be called John.”
But they answered her,
   “There is no one among your relatives who has this name.”
So they made signs, asking his father what he wished him to be called.
He asked for a tablet and wrote, “John is his name,”
   and all were amazed.
Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed,
   and he spoke blessing God.
Then fear came upon all their neighbors,
   and all these matters were discussed
   throughout the hill country of Judea.
All who heard these things took them to heart, saying,
   “What, then, will this child be?”
For surely the hand of the Lord was with him.

The child grew and became strong in spirit,
   and he was in the desert until the day
   of his manifestation to Israel.

June 23, 2020 - Tuesday of the Twelfth Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 7:6,12-14

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine,
   lest they trample them underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces.
 
“Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.
This is the Law and the Prophets.
 
“Enter through the narrow gate;
   for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction,
   and those who enter through it are many.
How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life.
And those who find it are few.”

June 22, 2020 - Monday of the Twelfth Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 7:1-5

​Jesus said to his disciples:
“Stop judging, that you may not be judged.
For as you judge, so will you be judged,
   and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you.
Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye,
   but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?
How can you say to your brother,
   ‘Let me remove that splinter from your eye,’
   while the wooden beam is in your eye?
You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first;
   then you will see clearly
   to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.”

Luke 2:41-51
Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary
​
Each year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover,
   and when he was twelve years old,
   they went up according to festival custom.
After they had completed its days, as they were returning,
   the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem,
   but his parents did not know it.
Thinking that he was in the caravan,
   they journeyed for a day
   and looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances,
   but not finding him,
   they returned to Jerusalem to look for him.
After three days they found him in the temple,
   sitting in the midst of the teachers,
   listening to them and asking them questions,
   and all who heard him were astounded
   at his understanding and his answers.
When his parents saw him,
   they were astonished,
   and his mother said to him,
   “Son, why have you done this to us?
Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety.”
And he said to them,
   “Why were you looking for me?
Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?”
But they did not understand what he said to them.
He went down with them and came to Nazareth,
   and was obedient to them;
   and his mother kept all these things in her heart.

June 19, 2020 The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

Matthew 11:25-30

At that time Jesus exclaimed:
“I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
   for although you have hidden these things
   from the wise and the learned
   you have revealed them to little ones.
Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.
All things have been handed over to me by my Father.
No one knows the Son except the Father,
   and no one knows the Father except the Son
   and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,
   and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
   for I am meek and humble of heart;
   and you will find rest for yourselves.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”
Preacher: Randy Senining
