Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time (A) Exodus 19:2-6a | Psalm 100:1-2, 3, 5 | Romans 5:6-11 | Matthew 9:36—10:8  Following the 50 days of Easter and the observance of two solemnities, we now mark the Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time. Today is also a special occasion as we celebrate Father's Day, a time to honor our fathers, grandfathers, and all those who have fulfilled a paternal role in our lives. During this Mass, our prayers will be directed towards invoking abundant blessings from God upon the living and seeking heavenly joy for those who have passed away.
Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14B-16A | Psalm 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20 | 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 | John 6:51-58  Today is the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ. Our readings call us to consider the meaning of the Holy Eucharist in the life of the Church and in our own personal lives.
Solemnity of the most Holy Trinity (A) Exodus 34:4B-6, 8-9 | Daniel 3:52, 53, 54, 55, 56 | 2 Corinthians 13:11-13 | John 3:16-18  Solemnity of Pentecost (A) Acts of the Apostles 2:1-11 | Psalm 104:1, 24, 29-30, 31, 34 | 1 Corinthians 12:3B-7, 12-13 | John 20:19-23  Today we celebrate Pentecost – the coming of the Holy Spirit, the birthday of the church, and the end of the Easter season. Pentecost comes from a Jewish harvest festival called Shavuot. It represents the firstfruits gathered as the result of labor of those who completed the spring grain harvests. God chose the first Pentecost after Jesus Christ’s resurrection to demonstrate that God is harvesting the firstfruits who came into the Kingdom as a result of Peter's preaching that day.
