✝️ Thursday of the Ninth Week in Ordinary Time

🎧 Today’s Gospel is a reminder that faith is more than knowing what God asks of us. It is loving Him completely and allowing that love to shape the way we treat others.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The Gospel is much more than a book: it is Christ Himself, the Good News for humanity that is confused, deceived, and disappointed by many evils. He satisfies our thirst for justice and truth, and He instills in us the courage to persevere in doing good and to place ourselves personally at the service of our neighbor.

[Reene m @Morning_Glory81]

Good Morning,Sweet Jesus this day is for You;Bless everything that I think,say and do…Amen.

[Deacon Jim Friend @JimFriend]

✝️ Tuesday – Memorial of Saints Marcellinus and Peter, Martyrs

🎧 Today’s Gospel is a reminder that we bear the image of God, and our greatest calling is to give ourselves completely to Him.

June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Every day this month I will pray and post the Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus:

O most holy Heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore Thee, I love Thee and with a lively sorrow for my sins, I offer Thee this poor heart of mine.

Make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to Thy will.

Grant, good Jesus, that I may live in Thee and for Thee.

Protect me in the midst of danger; comfort me in my afflictions; give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs, Thy blessing on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death.

Within Thy Heart I place my every care.

In every need let me come to Thee with humble trust saying:

Heart of Jesus help me.

✝️ Monday – Memorial of Saint Justin

The religious leaders understood Jesus’ message but refused to accept it. Saint Justin, on the other hand, spent his life searching for truth and followed Christ wherever it led, even to martyrdom.
