What does God wants us to be?
Is there a Divine Purpose for our lives?
God wants all of us to do
What John the Baptist did!
To point out Jesus,
To make way for Jesus,
To lead others to him
By what we say and do!
The Nativity of Saint John The Baptist

MASS INTENTIONS Offering masses is a long-standing tradition in the Catholic Church. An individual may ask a priest to offer a Mass for several reasons: for example, in thanksgiving, for the intentions of another person (such as on a birthday or an anniversary), for someone who is sick, or for the repose of the soul of someone who has died.

Twelfth Week in Ordinary Time
Sunday is the Solemnity of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, with special readings. Luke's Gospel show us the deep faith of Elizabeth and Zechariah as their newborn son is named John. “All who heard these things took them to heart, saying, 'What, then, will this child be?' For surely the hand of the Lord was with him.”
Thursday is the Memorial of Saint Irenaeus, bishop and martyr. Friday is the Solemnity of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Apostles, with its own readings. The first readings this week are from the Second Book of Kings. It is the story of the invasion by Assyria and then the invasion by Babylon, resulting in captivity that left a remnant of the people behind. The week closes with a reading from the Book of Lamentations. This week we continue reading from Matthew's Gospel. Jesus continues his challenge to follow him more completely. “Stop judging, that you may not be judged.” “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.” “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing.” “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.” “Who do you say that I am?” When a leper asks if Jesus will cure him, Jesus replies, “I will do it. Be made clean.” On Saturday, Matthew quotes the prophet Isaiah, “He took away our infirmities and bore our diseases.” On the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time we hear the wonderful story of the healing of Jairus' daughter. In the middle of that story is the beautiful story of the healing of the woman with a hemorrhage. He said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.'” Jesus tells Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just have faith.” When the girl was healed the people “were utterly astounded.”
