Our Spiritual Journey

Daily Spiritual Themes: You will find below a detailed spiritual theme for each

day of our pilgrimage. Every day either formally or informally (depending on

timetable) we will make reference to the theme of the day, so please keep this

pilgrim guide with you always. You are encouraged to pray and reflect on each

daily theme throughout the day.

Sunday 23rd June 2019

We leave home, we leave Ireland behind and as individuals and companions on the journey we begin our pilgrimage. God invites us to come apart from the normal routine of life to encounter him and others as we journey towards the burial place of St. James the Great, Apostle and Martyr, in Santiago de Compostela.

Monday 24th June 2019

Theme: God the Father loves me as I am and has a wonderful

plan for me

Prayer/Grace: To come to a deeper awareness of God’s

unconditional love for me

God is not someone who lives far away in a place you can never reach. He

is a father who loves you and says: “I have loved you with an everlasting

love, therefore I am constant in my affection for you.” (Jer. 31:3)

11

You can know God and know how much he loves you. He wants to be in

a personal relationship with you. He wants you to be his daughter, his son.

He doesn’t want there to be any barrier or distance between you and him.

“Can a mother forget her baby and not have compassion on the child she

has borne. Yet if even she forgets, I will not forget you. See I have carved

you in the palms of my hands.” (Is. 49:15-16).

He loves you, God the creator of the universe, the one who made all things

out of nothing, loves you! He wants to care for you and give you a better

life. “I know the plans I have for you, it is the Lord who speaks, plans for

peace, not disaster, to give you a future full of hope. When you call upon

me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. You will seek me and find

me. (Jer. 29:11-13).

Sometimes God may seem far away or not really interested in you. God

will not impose himself but waits patiently for you to invite him into your

life. If you wish to know God, if you wish to have the life he offers, you

can! Just turn to him and reach out to him. He is very close to you, and

right now he is trying to show himself to you in a deeper way than ever

before. Invite him into your life today and ask him to reveal his

unconditional love for you. “The Lord is near to all who call upon him, to

all who call upon him in truth” (Ps. 145:18).

“It is not us who first loved God, it is he who loved us first. God is like

that: he is always first. He is the first to wait for us, the first to love us,

the first to help us. It is a love that surpasses all knowledge. It surpasses

everything. The love of God is so great; a poet described it as a

‘bottomless sea without shores’. This is the love we must try to

understand, the love that we receive.” - (Pope Francis)

12

Tuesday 25th June 2019

Theme: Human Person – Created Dignity and Dignity in Jesus

Prayer/Grace: To come to a deeper understanding of my human

dignity in Jesus Christ

Humanity is the summit of God’s creation because God created us in his

image and likeness. “So God created man in his own image, in the image

of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God

blessed them, and said to them ‘Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and

subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of

the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” (Gen. 1:27,

2:18)

You are not a something but rather a someone. Made in God’s image you

are a person, capable of thinking beyond your immediate horizon and

measuring the whole breadth of being. You can even know yourself with

critical objectivity and work to improve yourself. You can know and

perceive others as persons, understand them in their dignity and love

them. Likewise you can know God and choose to love him. “Love is of

God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God.” (1 Jn 4:7)

As a human being you are both body and spirit. Through your reason you

know that your spirit is more than the function of your body and cannot

be explained in terms of your material composition. This spiritual

principle that is united to your body but not identical to it is called the

‘Soul’. The human soul is created directly by God at the moment of

conception, creating a unique spiritual person called to a never-ending

relationship with him. “Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of

13

the ground. He breathed the breath of life into man’s nostrils and man

became a living person.” (Gen 2:7)

Jesus shows us not only God’s true nature but also the true dignity,

identity and ideal of humanity. Jesus, the Son of God, is the authentic,

true man. “Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favour with

God and man.” (Lk 2:52)

In Jesus we recognise how God willed man to be. You cannot know what

it means to be a man or woman, and what makes you infinitely loveable

in the truest sense of the word, except in and through Jesus, who “in every

respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sinning.” (Heb 4:5)

“Human persons are willed by God; they are imprinted with God’s image.

Their dignity does not come from the work they do, but from the person

they are” - (Pope Saint John Paul II)

Wednesday 26th June 2019

Theme: Human Condition – Sin & Mercy, Despair & Hope,

Death & Life

Prayer/Grace: To come to a deeper personal understanding that I

am a redeemed sinner

At the beginning of the human race, humans rejected God’s love. This

original sin has been passed down through the human race. But, from

that moment, God promised not to leave us in this state – he would send

a Redeemer to save us. “The Lord God said to the serpent, ‘because you

have done this … I will put enmity between you and the woman, and

between your offspring and her offspring, he shall bruise your head, and

you shall bruise his heel” (Gen 3:14-15)

14

“Do not be afraid Mary … behold you will conceive in your womb and bear

a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called

the Son of the Most High … and of his Kingdom there will be no end” (Lk

1:30-33)

How do you know that you have inherited original sin? You struggle to

know things; you are weak and easily misled; you struggle to choose what

is right; you struggle to trust and believe in God.

While original sin doesn’t compel you to sin you are however deeply

wounded by it and are inclined to sin – this is called concupiscence and we

experience it every day. Nevertheless with God’s help you are capable of

overcoming this inclination in order to do good. “But the Lord said to me:

‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness’.

I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ

may rest upon me”. (2 Cor 12:9)

The Good News of the Gospel is that God sends his Son Jesus to us out of

his infinite love, so that despite our sins, through his life, death and

resurrection, we might find our way back to eternal fellowship with Him.

Jesus has reconciled us to the Father: not only does he restore us in

friendship but in Him we receive adoption, we become children of the

Father. He fills our souls with grace, which is his own life in us, given to us

in Baptism and renewed every time in Confession. So this means we are

really free to choose God. “God shows his love for us in that while we were

yet sinners Christ died for us” (Rom 5:8)

“I am a sinner … I am sure of this. I am a sinner whom the Lord has looked

upon with mercy. I am a forgiven man … I still make mistakes and commit

sins, and I confess every fifteen or twenty days. And if I confess it is

because I need to feel that God’s mercy is still upon me” - (Pope Francis)

15

Thursday 27th June 2019

Theme for the Day: The Holy Spirit – The Holy Spirit, whom the

Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and

remind you of everything I said to you

Prayer/Grace: To ask the Father for an increase in the power and

presence of the Holy Spirit in your life

The same Spirit that hovered over the waters at Creation, “and the Spirit

of God was moving over the face of the waters” (Gen 1:2),

The same Spirit that spoke through the prophets, the same Spirit that was

poured out upon the Church, filling the Apostles and enabling them to

speak in different languages, “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit

and began to speak in other tongues”. (Acts 2:4)

This is the same Spirit that you received at your Confirmation.

“Confirmation is the Sacrament that completes Baptism; in it the gift of

the Holy Spirit is bestowed upon us. Anyone who freely decides to live a

life as God’s child and asks for God’s Spirit under the signs of the imposition

of hands and anointing with Chrism receives the strength to witness to

God’s love and might in word and deed. He/She is now a fully-fledged,

responsible member of the Catholic Church” (CCC 1285-1314)

The Holy Spirit continues to be poured out in our lives every time we ask

the Father. For many, the full fruits, gifts, charisms, power and working of

the Holy Spirit has not being realised because they have not made an adult

decision to turn to the Lord and ask him to come into their life. The Holy

Spirit is the love and life of the Trinity made present to us and it’s always

possible to look for a deeper realisation of Him in your life. All you need

16

to do is ask the Father. “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you,

seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you … if you who are

evil know how to give good things to your children, how much more will

the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Lk 11:9-

13)

“The Holy Spirit is our strength! We cannot do anything without the

Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that allows us to rise from our limitations, from

our deaths, because there are so many neuroses in our life and in our

soul. A life that may call itself Christian, but that leaves no room for the

Spirit and does not allow itself to be carried forward by the Spirit, is a

pagan life, disguised as Christian. The Spirit is the protagonist of

Christian Life” – (Pope Francis)

Friday 28th June 2019

Theme for the Day: The Church – Deposit of faith, Sacramental

Life, Gospel Values, Prayer

Prayer/Grace: To make a firm resolution to grow in the Christian

way of living.

We are not called to eternal life by ourselves. God himself is not a solitary

being but a community of persons. From the beginning of time he planned

the Church, the body – a communion of peoples with God and with each

other – through which his salvation would reach the ends of the earth. It

is in the Church that we receive God’s own life even now, the beginning

of our eternal life. “So those who received his word were baptised, and

there were added that day about three thousand. And they held

steadfastly to the Apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of

bread and to the prayers” (Acts 2:41-42)

17

In order to grow in the life of the Spirit, you need to know what God

teaches and receive his life and grace. “Sacred Tradition and sacred

Scripture form one sacred deposit of the word of God, committed to the

Church. Holding fast to this deposit the entire people of God united to their

shepherds remain always steadfast in the teaching of the Apostles, in

common life, the breaking of bread and the prayers”

In order to keep in personal contact with God who is our source of life,

you should pray. Jesus prayed. “Jesus’ reputation continued to grow, and

large crowds would gather to hear him and to have their sickness cured,

but he would always go off to some place where he could be alone and

pray”. (Lk 5:15-16)

“This, then, is how you should pray:

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one.” (Mt 6:9-13)

“I too think of many Christians who believe that praying is to talk to God

like a parrot, no! Praying is done from the heart, from inside. He does

not need anything, our God: in prayer he asks only that we keep open

the channel of communication with him to always discover ourselves to

be his beloved children and that he loves us so much”. – (Pope Francis)

18

Saturday 29th June 2019

Theme for the Day: Vocation, Call, Holiness, Mission

Prayer/Grace: To respond generously to the call of God in my life.

The word vocation can be understood in a broad sense as a calling from

God, including the call to life, the call to friendship with him, the call to

holiness. This is helpful, since it situates our whole life in relation to the

God who loves us. It makes us realise that nothing is the result of pure

chance but that everything in our lives can become a way of responding

to the Lord, who has wonderful plan for us. (Christus Vivit, 248)

Your own personal vocation does not consist only in the work you do,

though that is an expression of it. Your vocation is something more: it is

a path guiding your many efforts and actions towards the service of

others. So in discerning your vocation, it is important to determine if you

see in yourself the abilities needed to perform that specific service to

society. (Christus Vivit, 255)

I like to think that “two Christians who marry have recognised the call of

the Lord in their own love story, the vocation to form one flesh and one

life from two, male and female. The Sacrament of Holy Matrimony

envelops this love in the grace of God; it roots it in God himself. By this

gift, and by the certainty of this call, you can go forward with assurance,

you have nothing to fear, and you can face everything together. (Christus

Vivit, 260)

For those who are not called to marriage or to consecrated life, it must

always be remembered that the first and most important vocation is the

vocation we have received in Baptism. Those who are single, even if not

19

by their own choice, can offer a particular witness to that vocation

through their own path of personal growth. (Christus Vivit, 267)

In discerning your vocation, do not dismiss the possibility of devoting

yourself to God in the priesthood, the religious life or in other forms of

consecration. Why not? You can be sure that, if you do recognise and

follow a call from God in this way, there you will find complete fulfilment.

(Christus Vivit, 276)

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the

name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to

observe all that I have commanded you; and behold I am with you always,

to the close of the age”. (Mt 28:19-20)

Christians are ready to proclaim the Gospel because they can’t hide the

joy that comes from knowing Christ – (Pope Francis)

Sunday 30th June 2019

As our pilgrimage comes to an end we remember that life is itself a pilgrimage and the spiritual journey and the truths we’ve experienced continue to apply in the same way. The Lord is risen and is by our side every day. He has called us to be in intimate relationship with him and has given us the power of His Spirit to guide us home to the Father. Heaven awaits but not just yet!!!

Mass Readings

23 June 2019 - The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ

1st Reading: Genesis 14:18-20 Melchizedek brought bread and wine and pronounced a blessing

Melchizedek king of Salem brought bread and wine; he was a priest of God

Most High. He pronounced this blessing:

‘Blessed be Abraham by God Most High,

creator of heaven and earth,

and blessed be God Most High

for handing over your enemies to you.’

And Abraham gave him a tithe of everything.

This Word of the Lord

Responsorial: Psalm 109:1-4 Response: You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek

The Lord’s revelation to my Master:

‘Sit on my right:

I will put your foes beneath your feet.’ (R./)

The Lord will send from Zion

your sceptre of power:

rule in the midst of all your foes. (R./)

A prince from the day of your birth

on the holy mountains.

From the womb before the daybreak

I begot you. (R./)

22

The Lord has sworn an oath he will not change.

‘You are a priest for ever,

a priest like Melchizedek of old.’

You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek. (R./)

2nd Reading: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are proclaiming the

death of the Lord.

This is what I received from the Lord, and in turn passed on to you: that on

the same night that he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread, and

thanked God for it and broke it, and he said, “This is my body, which is for

you; do this as a memorial of me.” In the same way he took the cup after

supper, and said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Whenever you

drink it, do this as a memorial of me.”

Until the Lord comes, therefore, every time you eat this bread and drink this

cup, you are proclaiming his death.


R. Alleluia, alleluia.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven, says the Lord;

whoever eats this bread will live forever.


Gospel: Luke 9:11-17 They all ate and were filled

Jesus made the crowds welcome and talked to them about the kingdom of

God; and he cured those who were in need of healing. It was late afternoon

when the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the people away, and they can

go to the villages and farms round about to find lodging and food; for we are

in a lonely place here.”

He replied, “Give them something to eat yourselves.” But they said, “We have

no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we are to go ourselves and buy

23

food for all these people.” For there were about five thousand men. But he

said to his disciples, “Get them to sit down in parties of about fifty.”

They did so and made them all sit down. Then he took the five loaves and the

two fish, raised his eyes to heaven, and said the blessing over them; then he

broke them and handed them to his disciples to distribute among the crowd.

They all ate as much as they wanted, and when the scraps remaining were

collected they filled twelve baskets.

24 June 2019 - Nativity of St. John the Baptist

1st Reading: Isaiah 49:1-6 The Lord called me before I was born; in my mother’s womb he named me

Listen to me, O coastlands, pay attention, you peoples from far away! The

Lord called me before I was born, while I was in my mother’s womb he

named me. He made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand

he hid me; he made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me away. And

he said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.” But I

said, “I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and

vanity; yet surely my cause is with the Lord, and my reward with my God.”

And now the Lord says, who formed me in the womb to be his servant, to

bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might be gathered to him, for I am

honoured in the sight of the Lord, and my God has become my strength– he

says, “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the

tribes of Jacob and to restore the survivors of Israel; I will give you as a light

to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”


24

Resp. Psalm: Ps 139 R.: I praise you, for I am wonderfully made

O Lord, you search me and you know me,

you know my resting and my rising,

you discern my purpose from afar.

You mark when I walk or lie down,

all my ways lie open to you. (R./)

For it was you who created my being,

knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I thank you for the wonder of my being,

for the wonders of all your creation. (R./)

Already you knew my soul,

my body held no secret from you,

when I was being fashioned in secret

and moulded in the depths of the earth. (R./)

2nd Reading: Acts 13:22-26 As background to the Gospel, Paul mentions the Baptist as herald of Christ

In those days, Paul said: God made David king of our ancestors.. In his

testimony about him he said, “I have found David, son of Jesse, to be a man

after my heart, who will carry out all my wishes.” Of this man’s posterity God

has brought to Israel a Saviour, Jesus, as he promised; before his coming

John had already proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of

Israel. And as John was finishing his work, he said, “What do you suppose

that I am? I am not he. No, but one is coming after me; I am not worthy to

untie the thong of the sandals on his feet.” “My brothers, you descendants of

Abraham’s family, and others who fear God, to us the message of this

salvation has been sent.


25


You, child, will be called prophet of the Most High,

for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way.


Gospel Luke 1:57-66, 80 Celebration and joy at the birth of John the Baptist

The time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. Her

neighbours and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to

her, and they rejoiced with her. On the eighth day they came to circumcise

the child, and they were going to name him Zechariah after his father. But

his mother said, “No; he is to be called John.” They said to her, “None of your

relatives has this name.” Then they began motioning to his father to find out

what name he wanted to give him. He asked for a writing tablet and wrote,

“His name is John.” And all of them were amazed. Immediately his mouth

was opened and his tongue freed, and he began to speak, praising God. Fear

came over all their neighbours, and all these things were talked about

throughout the entire hill country of Judea. All who heard them pondered

them and said, “What then will this child become?” For, indeed, 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 he appeared publicly to Israel.

25 June 2019 - Tuesday of Week 12

1st Reading: Genesis 13:2, 5-18 The herdsmen of Abram and Lot quarrel, and the two groups go their separate ways

Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. Now Lot, who went

with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents, so that the land could not

26

support both of them living together; for their possessions were so great that

they could not live together, and there was strife between the herders of

Abram’s livestock and the herders of Lot’s livestock. At that time the

Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land.

Then Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and

between your herders and my herders; for we are kindred. Is not the whole

land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take he left hand, then I

will go to the right; or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.”

Lot looked about him, and saw that the plain of the Jordan was well watered

everywhere like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, in the

direction of Zoar; this was before the Lord had destroyed Sodom and

Gomorrah. So Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan, and Lot

journeyed eastward; thus they separated from each other. Abram settled in

the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the Plain and moved

his tent as far as Sodom. Now the people of Sodom were wicked, great

sinners against the Lord.

The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Raise your eyes

now, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and

eastward and westward; for all the land that you see I will give to you and to

your offspring forever. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth;

so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be

counted. Rise up, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I

will give it to you.” So Abram moved his tent, and came and settled by the

oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron; and there he built an altar to the Lord.


Responsorial: Psalm 14:2-5 Response: The just will live in the presence of the Lord.

Lord, who shall dwell on your holy mountain?

He who walks without fault;

he who acts with justice and speaks the truth from his heart;

he who does not slander with his tongue. (R./)

27

He who does no wrong to his brother,

who casts no slur on his neighbour,

who holds the godless in disdain,

but honours those who fear the Lord.

He who keeps his pledge, come what may;

who takes no interest on a loan

and accepts no bribes against the innocent.

Such a man will stand firm for ever. (R./)


I am the light of the world, says the Lord;

whoever follows me will have the light of life.


Gospel: Matthew 7:6, 12-14 Various warnings, towards the end of the Sermon on the Mount

Jesus said to his disciples:

“Do not give what is holy to dogs; and do not throw your pearls before swine,

or they will trample them under foot and turn and maul you.”

“In everything do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the

law and the prophets. Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and

the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. For

the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few

who find it.”

26 June 2019 - Wednesday of Week 12

1st Reading: Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18 God’s promise of descendants to Abraham is renewed

The word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, “Do not be afraid, Abram, I

am your shield; your reward shall be very great.” But Abram said, “O Lord

God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house

is Eliezer of Damascus?” And Abram said, “You have given me no offspring,

and so a slave born in my house is to be my heir.” But the word of the Lord

came to him, “This man shall not be your heir; nobody but your very own

issue shall be your heir.”

He brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven and count the stars,

if you are able to count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your

descendants be.” And he believed the Lord; and the Lord reckoned it to him

as righteousness.

Then he said to him, “I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the

Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess.” But he said, “O Lord God, how

am I to know that I shall possess it?” He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three

years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove,

and a young pigeon.” He brought him all these and cut them in two, laying

each half over against the other; but he did not cut the birds in two. And

when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a deep and

terrifying darkness descended upon him. When the sun had gone down and

it was dark, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these

pieces. Abraham on that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying,

29

“To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great

river, the river Euphrates


Responsorial: Psalm 104:1-4, 6-9 Response: The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.

Give thanks to the Lord, tell his name,

make known his deeds among the peoples.

O sing to him, sing his praise;

tell all his wonderful works! (R./)

Be proud of his holy name,

let the hearts that seek the Lord rejoice.

Consider the Lord and his strength;

constantly seek his face. (R./)

O children of Abraham, his servant,

O sons of the Jacob he chose.

He, the Lord, is our God:

his judgements prevail in all the earth. (R./)

He remembers his covenant for ever,

his promise for a thousand generations,

the covenant he made with Abraham,

the oath he swore to Isaac. (R./)

R. Alleluia, alleluia. Remain in me, as I remain in you, says the Lord; whoever remains in me will bear much fruit. R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel: Matthew 7:15-20 A warning against false prophets

Jesus said to his disciples: ”Beware of false prophets, who come to you in

sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by

30

their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? In the

same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.

A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every

tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus

you will know them by their fruits.”

27 June 2019 -Thursday of Week 12

1st Reading: Genesis 16:1-12, 15-16 Hagar is driven out, but an angel is sent to rescue her

Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. She had an Egyptian slave-girl

whose name was Hagar, and Sarai said to Abram, “You see that the Lord has

prevented me from bearing children; go in to my slave-girl; it may be that I

shall obtain children by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. So,

after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram’s wife,

took Hagar the Egyptian, her slave-girl, and gave her to her husband Abram

as a wife. He went in to Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she

had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress. Then Sarai said to

Abram, “May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my slave-girl to your

embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with

contempt. May the Lord judge between you and me!” But Abram said to

Sarai, “Your slave-girl is in your power; do to her as you please.” Then Sarai

dealt harshly with her, and she ran away from her.

The angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the desert, the spring

on the way to Shur. And he said, “Hagar, slave-girl of Sarai, where have you

come from and where are you going?” She said, “I am running away from my

31

mistress Sarai.” The angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress,

and submit to her.” The angel of the Lord also said to her, “I will so greatly

multiply your offspring that they cannot be counted for multitude.” And the

angel of the Lord said to her, “Now you have conceived and shall bear a son;

you shall call him Ishmael, for the Lord has given heed to your affliction. He

shall be a wild ass of a man, with his hand against everyone, and everyone’s

hand against him; and he shall live at odds with all his kin.”

Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore,

Ishmael. Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.


Responsorial: Psalm 105:1-5 Response: Give thanks to the Lord for he is good.

O give thanks to the Lord for he is good;

for his great love is without end.

Who can tell the Lord’s mighty deeds?

Who can recount all his praise? (R./)

They are happy who do what is right,

who at all times do what is just.

O Lord, remember me

out of the love you have for your people. (R./)

Come to me, Lord, with your help

that I may see the joy of your chosen ones

and may rejoice in the gladness of your nation

and share the glory of your people. (R./)


Whoever loves me will keep my word,

and my Father will love him

and we will come to him.


32

Gospel: Matthew 7:21-29 Hearing God’s word and acting upon it

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. On that

day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and

cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?’

Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; go away from me, you

evildoers.’

“Everyone then who hears 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 beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been

founded on rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not

act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain

fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house,

and it fell–and great was its fall!”

Now when Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were

astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and

not as their scribes.

28 June 2019 - The Sacred Heart of Jesus

1st Reading: Ezekiel 34:11-16 The Lord God will search for His sheep and pasture them

For thus says the Lord God: I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek

them out. As shepherds seek out their flocks when they are among their

33

scattered sheep, so I will seek out my sheep. I will rescue them from all the

places to which they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick

darkness.

I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries,

and will bring them into their own land; and I will fed them on the

mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited parts of the

land. I will feed them with good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel

shall be their pasture; there they shall lie down in good grazing land, and

they shall feed on rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.

I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will make them lie down,

says the Lord God. I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I

will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, but the fat and the

strong I will destroy. I will feed them with justice.


Responsorial: Psalm 22 Response: The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want

The Lord is my shepherd;

there is nothing I shall want.

Fresh and green are the pastures

where he gives me repose.

Near restful waters he leads me,

to revive my drooping spirit. (R./)

He guides me along the right path;

he is true to his name.

If I should walk in the valley of darkness

no evil would I fear.

You are there with your crook and staff;

with these you give me comfort. (R./)

You have prepared a banquet for me

in the sight of my foes.

34

My head you have anointed with oil;

my cup is overflowing. (R./)

Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me

all the days of my life.

In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell

for ever and ever. R.

2nd Reading: Romans 5:5-11 God proves his love for us, through the sacrificial love of Christ

Hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our

hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. For while we were

still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Indeed, rarely will

anyone die for a righteous person, though perhaps for a good person

someone might actually dare to die.

But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died

for us. Much more surely then, now that we have been justified by his blood,

will we be saved through him from the wrath of God. For if while we were

enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much

more surely, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life. But more

than that, we even boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through

whom we have now received reconciliation.



Take my yoke upon you, says the Lord,

and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.


Gospel: Luke 15:3-7 The lost sheep, sought and found by the good shepherd

Jesus told them this parable: “Which one of you, having a hundred sheep

and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and

35

go after the one that is lost until he finds it? When he has found it, he lays it

on his shoulders and rejoices. And when he comes home, he calls together

his friends and neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have

found my sheep that was lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in

heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons

who need no repentance.”

29 June 2019 - Saints Peter and Paul, apostles.

(Solemnity)

1st Reading: Acts 2:1-11 Peter is imprisoned, but an angel sets him free to continue leading the church

King Herod laid violent hands upon some who belonged to the church. He

had James, the brother of John, killed with the sword. After he saw that it

pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. (This was during the

festival of Unleavened Bread.) When he had seized him, he put him in prison

and handed him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending to

bring him out to the people after the Passover.

While Peter was kept in prison, the church prayed fervently to God for him.

The very night before Herod was going to bring him out, Peter, bound with

two chains, was sleeping between two soldiers, while guards in front of the

door were keeping watch over the prison. Suddenly an angel of the Lord

appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke

him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his wrists. The angel

said to him, “Fasten your belt and put on your sandals.” He did so. Then he

36

said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.” Peter went out

and followed him; he did not realize that what was happening with the

angel’s help was real; he thought he was seeing a vision.

After they had passed the first and the second guard, they came before the

iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them of its own accord, and they

went outside and walked along a lane, when suddenly the angel left him.

Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I am sure that the Lord has sent

his angel and rescued me from the hands of Herod and from all that the

Jewish people were expecting.”


Resp. Psalm: Ps 34 R.: The angel of the Lord will rescue those who fear him

I will bless the Lord at all times;

his praise shall be always in my mouth.

Let my soul glory in the Lord;

the lowly will hear me and be glad. (R./)

Glorify the Lord with me,

let us together extol his name.

I sought the Lord, and he answered me

and delivered me from all my fears. (R./)

Look to him that you may be radiant with joy,

and your faces may not blush with shame.

When the poor one called out, the Lord heard,

and from all his distress he saved him. (R./)

The angel of the Lord encamps

around those who fear him, and delivers them.

Taste and see how good the Lord is;

blessed the man who takes refuge in him. (R./)

37

2nd Reading: 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 17-18 In his prison cell, Paul he looks forward to the crown promised to all who serve God faithfully

As for me, I am already being poured out as a libation, and the time of my

departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I

have kept the faith. From now on there is reserved for me the crown of

righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on that day,

and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that through me the

message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I

was rescued from the lion’s mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil

attack and save me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever

and ever. Amen.



You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church,

and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.


Gospel: Matthew 16:13-19 Peter proclaims Jesus as the Son of the living God. For this he is given the keys of the Kingdom

When Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his

disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some

say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of

the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter

answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh

and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. And I tell

you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of

Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of

38

heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and

whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

30 June 2019 - 13th Sunday Year C 1st Reading: 1 Kings 19:16, 19-21 Elisha immediately answers his call; leaving all he follows Elijah

The Lord said to Elijah, “You shall anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king over

Israel; and you shall anoint Elisha son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah as

prophet in your place.”

Elijah set out from there, and found Elisha son of Shaphat, who was

ploughing, with twelve yoke of oxen ahead of him, and he was with the

twelfth. Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle over him. He left the

oxen, ran after Elijah, and said, “Let me kiss my father and my mother, and

then I will follow you.” Then Elijah said to him, “Go back again; for what

have I done to you?”

He returned from following him, took the yoke of oxen, and slaughtered

them; using the equipment from the oxen, he boiled their flesh, and gave it to

the people, and they ate. Then he set out and followed Elijah, and became his

servant.


Responsorial: Psalm 15:1-2, 5, 7-11 Response: You are my inheritance, O Lord

Preserve me, God, I take refuge in you.

I say to the Lord: ‘You are my God.’

O Lord, it is you who are my portion and cup;

it is you yourself who are my prize. (R./)

39

I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel,

who even at night directs my heart.

I keep the Lord ever in my sight:

since he is at my right hand, I shall stand firm. (R./)

And so my heart rejoices, my soul is glad;

even my body shall rest in safety.

For you will not leave my soul among the dead,

nor let your beloved know decay. (R./)

You will show me the path of life,

the fullness of joy in your presence,

at your right hand happiness for ever. (R./)

2nd Reading: Galatians (5:1, 13-18 Resisting the flesh which draws us back towards sin and slavery

For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit

again to a yoke of slavery. For you were called to freedom, brothers and

sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence,

but through love become servants to one another. For the whole law is

summed up in a single commandment, “You shall love your neighbour as

yourself.” If, however, you bite and devour one another, take care that you

are not consumed by one another.

Live by the Spirit, I say, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. For what

the flesh desires is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit desires is

opposed to the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you

from doing what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not

subject to the law.



Speak, Lord, your servant is listening;

you have the words of everlasting life.

Gospel: Luke 9:51-62 Jesus resolutely takes the road to Jerusalem, calling others to follow him

When the days drew near for him to be taken up, Jesus set his face to go to

Jerusalem. And he sent messengers ahead of him. On their way they entered

a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him; but they did not receive

him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem. When his disciples James

and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come

down from heaven and consume them?” But he turned and rebuked them.

Then they went on to another village.

As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you

wherever you go.” And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the

air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” To another

he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

But Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead; but as for you, go

and proclaim the kingdom of God.” Another said, “I will follow you, Lord;

but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” Jesus said to him, “No one

who puts hand to the plough and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

Holy is His name His arm He stretches forth in power And the proud of heart He will scatter For He casts the mighty from their thrones And He raises up the lowly. To God the Father we give praise And to Jesus whom He sent to be our saviour To the Spirit of God be all glory For Holy is His name.

In Christ Alone In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song; This Cornerstone, this solid Ground, Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace, When fears are stilled, when strivings cease! My Comforter, my All in All, Here in the love of Christ I stand. In Christ alone! – who took on flesh, Fullness of God in helpless babe. This gift of love and righteousness, Scorned by the ones He came to save: Till on that cross as Jesus died, The wrath of God was satisfied – For every sin on Him was laid; Here in the death of Christ I live. There in the ground His body lay, Light of the world by darkness slain: Then bursting forth in glorious day Up from the grave He rose again! And as He stands in victory Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me, For I am His and He is mine – Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

54

No guilt in life, no fear in death, This is the power of Christ in me; From life’s first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny. No power of hell, no scheme of man, Can ever pluck me from His hand: Till He returns or calls me home, Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand. 30. Over All The Earth Over all the earth, You reign on high Every mountain stream every sunset sky But my one request Lord, my only aim Is that You'd reign in me again Chorus Lord reign in me, reign in Your power Over all my dreams, in my darkest hour You are the Lord, of all I am So won't You reign in me again Over every thought over every word May my life reflect the beauty of my Lord 'Cause You mean more to me than any earthly thing So won't You reign in me again 31. Your Love Is Amazing Your love is amazing, steady and unchanging Your love is a mountain, firm beneath my feet Your love is a mystery, how You gently lift me When I am surrounded, Your love carries me Chorus Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Your love makes me sing Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Your love makes me sing Your love is surprising, I can feel it rising All the joy that's growing deep inside of me Every time I see You, all Your goodness shines through

55

And I can feel this God song, rising up in me Yes, You make me sing Lord, You make me sing, sing, sing How You make me sing 32. Bless The Lord O My Soul Chorus Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul Worship His holy name Sing like never before, O my soul I'll worship Your holy name The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning It's time to sing Your song again Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me Let me be singing when the evening comes You're rich in love and You're slow to anger Your name is great and Your heart is kind For all Your goodness, I will keep on singing Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find And on that day when my strength is failing The end draws near and my time has come Still, my soul will sing Your praise unending Ten thousand years and then forevermore 33.
