Scripture readings

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Lectionary: 98

God did not make death, nor does he rejoice in the destruction of the living. For he fashioned all things that they might have being; and the creatures of the world are wholesome, and there is not a destructive drug among them nor any domain of the netherworld on earth, for justice is undying. For God formed man to be imperishable; the image of his own nature he made him. But by the envy of the devil, death entered the world, and they who belong to his company experience it.

R. (2a) I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me. I will extol you, O LORD, for you drew me clear and did not let my enemies rejoice over me. O LORD, you brought me up from the netherworld; you preserved me from among those going down into the pit. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me. Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger lasts but a moment; a lifetime, his good will. At nightfall, weeping enters in, but with the dawn, rejoicing.

St. Joseph: A Friend and Model for Us All

By: Melissa Schmid

"Did you know that St. Joseph has over 20 titles that represent his heroic virtues? Before I prayed the Litany to St. Joseph, I had no idea he had so many titles. In fact, I knew very little of this humble saint."

By: Julia Brown Ferrero

Many people have profoundly enriched my life experience, and contributed to shape me as a Catholic, a daughter, a wife, and now a mother. I would like to introduce you to a few of them, whose witnesses greatly developed my understanding and appreciation for human life.

Turning Your Ear to Christ: Entering into Lectio Divina

When we search Scripture for what God is saying to us, we need to do so slowly, deliberately, and go in for the long haul.

Prayer to End a Pandemic

By Pope Francis

Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the will of the Father and to do what Jesus tells us. For he took upon himself our suffering, and burdened himself with our sorrows to bring us, through the cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen. We fly to your protection, O Holy...

JOSEPH AND THE BOY JESUS

Your heart was longing for true happiness which is our desire as well. You said “yes” and stayed with Mary in a certainty of hope and openness as the way to discover truth and love: Jesus born in Bethlehem! Help us to recognize the presence of the word becoming flesh in all the circumstances of…

JOHN THE EVANGELIST AND MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS

Simon Toparovsky, Sculptor

Loneliness pervades our culture, but Jesus never meant for us to be alone. He showed us the path to companionship and friendship by giving us the two disciples who teach us about this path: Mary his Mother and John his beloved!! They lived the relational life of the Gospel which is at the heart of…

Now, in this chapel, she waits with and for us in our own moments of waiting… her hands open and outstretched, a companion of compassion, assurance and hope, as she has shared in the experience of waiting and knows the Hope that does not disappoint… she is our Mother of Compassion.
