At the end of this Mass you will be sent into the world. You will be sent to announce the Gospel of the Lord, to

glorify the Lord. As followers of Christ we come to this church to worship Him, to love Him, to receive Him into our

lives. We listen and learn from His teaching in scripture, we fuel our bodies and souls from the Eucharist. We prepare

our self to do His work, to live our Christian lives. Then we are sent into the world as the twelve are summoned and

sent in today's Gospel.

How prepared do you feel, right now, to go?

He chose you! He chose you to be set apart from the world but still very much in it. He chose you to be spotless, not

through your actions but through his forgiveness. He chose you, to be His daughter or His Son. He chose you to live

with Him in love.

You are part of Gods plan, you are to play a part in his Glory. You have heard the message of Christ, a message of

love, repentance and redemption. To believe in this message, is to accept Gods choice, to realize that you are special

in the eyes of God, that you have been called to serve.

Our world is in need of our teaching, our love, our service. There are many out there who don't understand our

Church, who have never heard in their hearts the call of Christ. There are many out there who are in need of healing,

body and soul. There are many out there who need feeding, who need to be cared for, who need to be loved. Christ has

built an eternal Church, towering throughout the ages, blazing with the lives of the saints, to continue His Work and

His mission. Each generation passing His Church to the next. Today, you are that Church, how are you going to serve?

What is Jesus asking you to do?

I am not asking you to walk from town to town preaching on street corners, unless you believe that's your calling. I

am asking that you consider what your calling is, what Jesus is asking you to do. Being part of Christ's Church is

about all of your life, everything you do, everything you say. He has summoned you, He is sending you, what is he

asking you to do?

As we hear in the Psalm, “The Lord will make us prosper and our earth shall yield its fruit. Justice shall march

before Him and peace shall follow in his steps.” Is it time to ask ourselves and ask our Lord in prayer, where will

following those steps of peace lead us? Where should we march?

Dear Jesus, help me to spread your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul

with your spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that

all my life may only be a radiance of You. Shine through me and be so in me

that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul. Let

them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I

shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others. Amen.

OUR NEW ADVERTISING SLOGAN

Jesus Christ has never denied anyone in the participation of the Seven Sacraments:

Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Communion, Confession, Marriage, Holy Orders, and the

Anointing of the Sick.

If you believe this statement to be true, then Saint Teresa of Calcutta Catholic

Community is the Church for you,

Our mentor, Mother Teresa of Calcutta and We at Saint Teresa of Calcutta Catholic

Community have one thing in common, our “LOVE” for our fellow being is a lesson

learned from Jesus Christ.

***** NOTE TO THE CONGREGATION *****

To ensure that our mission here at Saint Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Community grow and survive,

we need to adhere to our advertising slogan. It is time to let go of the past and start listening to the

message that Jesus and Father Victor preach every Sunday about “LOVE”. Alienating individuals

from Saint Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Community does not support our mission to help those who

really need our LOVE and ASSISTANCE. REMEMBER: I KNOW THERE WILL BE A DAY OF

PEACE. FOR THIS, LET US ALL WORK AND PRAY.

A poem for Father Victor ray on his 30th anniversary of

ordination to the priesthood.

Always for Others

By Easter Almuena

You are the image and likeness of God But with you the morning awakens

With the call to rise Not for you

But always for others.

God handpicked you from a myriad of souls Molded you since you were a babe

To prepare you for a journey Not for you

But always for others.

God blessed you with wisdom To use to give form to his plans

And love to carry them out Not for you

But always for others.

Mary walks with you Guiding and loving you

For to her you are a Christ Not for you

But always for others.

You hold the Body of Christ Embrace his name and proclaim it

And a father and counselor you have become Not for you

But always for others.

God forever bless you Walk and carry you when your feet are weary

Bring peace and joy to your heart For though your life is never for you It is Christ’s and he delights in you.

Thank You and May God Bless!

GATHERING

GO TO REFRAIN

Reading 1 AMOS 7:12-15

Amaziah, priest of Bethel, said to Amos,

“Off with you, visionary, flee to the land of Judah!

There earn your bread by prophesying,

but never again prophesy in Bethel;

for it is the king’s sanctuary and a royal temple.”

Amos answered Amaziah, “I was no prophet,

nor have I belonged to a company of prophets;

I was a shepherd and a dresser of sycamores.

The LORD took me from following the flock, and said to me,

Go, prophesy to my people Israel.”

Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church

Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm PSALM 85:9-10, 11-12, 13-14

R. Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.

I will hear what God proclaims; the LORD —for he proclaims peace. Near indeed is his

salvation to those who fear him, glory dwelling in our land.

R. Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.

Kindness and truth shall meet; justice and peace shall kiss. Truth shall spring out of the

earth, and justice shall look down from heaven.

R. Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.

The LORD himself will give his benefits; our land shall yield its increase. Justice shall

walk before him, and prepare the way of his steps.

R. Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.

Reading 2 EPHESIANS 1:3-14

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ

with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as he chose us in him, before the

foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before him. In love he

destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of

his will, for the praise of the glory of his grace that he granted us in the beloved.

In him we have redemption by his blood, the forgiveness of transgressions, in accord

with the riches of his grace that he lavished upon us. In all wisdom and insight, he has

made known to us the mystery of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in

him as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on

earth.

In him we were also chosen, destined in accord with the purpose of the One who

accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will, so that we might exist

for the praise of his glory, we who first hoped in Christ. In him you also, who have

heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him,

were sealed with the promised holy Spirit, which is the first installment of our

inheritance toward redemption as God’s possession, to the praise of his glory.

Hear what the spirit is saying to the church.

Thanks be to God

Alleluia CF. EPHESIANS 1:17-18

R. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ enlighten the eyes of our hearts, that we may

know what is the hope that belongs to our call.

R. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel MARK 6:7-13

Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two

and gave them authority over unclean spirits.

He instructed them to take nothing for the journey

but a walking stick—

no food, no sack, no money in their belts.

They were, however, to wear sandals

but not a second tunic.

He said to them,

“Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave.

Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you,

leave there and shake the dust off your feet

in testimony against them.”

So they went off and preached repentance.

The Twelve drove out many demons,

and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.

This is the Gospel of the Lord

Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ

Question of the Week:

When I feel ill-equipped for the

journey, do I trust God will provide

what I need?

Pastor’s Song by Donna Jackson

You answered the call and obeyed God’s command

He sent you here, we know you’re in His hands

Your message from the Word, touches our very soul

We’ve seen your faithfulness and we want you to know

Pastor, we love you, we appreciate all you do

And God sees the sacrifice, you’ve made for Jesus Christ

You pray for the lost and God leads them to the Cross

And we know one day, you’ll hear your Father say,

“My child, well done, my child, well done”

In the still quiet place, on your knees in prayer

God sees your tears, Hears the burdens you bear

The Lord’s by your side, He blesses all that you do

Through the good and bad times, He’ll see you through

Pastor, we love you, we appreciate all you do

And God sees the sacrifice, you’ve made for Jesus Christ

You pray for the lost and God leads them to the Cross

And we know one day, you’ll hear your Father say,

“My child, well done, my child, well done”

Pastor, we love you, we appreciate all you do

And God sees the sacrifice, you’ve made for Jesus Christ

You pray for the lost and God leads them to the Cross

And we know one day, you’ll hear your Father say,

“My child, well done, my child, well done”

Oh “My child, well done, my child, well done”
