June 19th Twelfth Sunday in ordinary time
This week, oh Jesus, Your church celebrates the birth of John the Baptist.
The last and greatest of the prophets, that will herald the start of Your ministry that
will lead to Your death, but to our eternal life.
Thank You Jesus, for Your love and fidelity to the father, that gave You the strength to
walk to the cross, to set us free, and open the gates of heaven.
Thank You Jesus, for the plan of redemption for us that You fulfilled totally, and all
You ask of us is to love one another.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday BODY PIERCINGS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=6/19/2016
"They shall look on Him Whom they have" pierced. -Zechariah 12:10; John 19:37
In American culture, most women, as well as a number of men, have their ears pierced. In
recent decades, many get other body parts pierced as well. Though people might pierce
their bodies for any number of reasons, body piercing is biblically a mark of slavery
(Ex 21:6). Slaves had their ear pierced to identify them as lifelong slaves (Ex 21:6).
If you've had your body pierced by a piercing gun or tattoo needles, Jesus identifies
with you. He has pierced hands and feet (Ps 22:17). His side was pierced with a sword
(Jn 19:34, 37). "He was pierced for our offenses" (Is 53:5). No one has been pierced as
painfully as Jesus has been. When people look at your piercings, they might admire them
or stare at you, but when people look on Jesus' piercings, their hearts are pierced, and
they mourn for their sins (Zec 12:10). Jesus' piercings have the power to change hearts.
Instead of looking at your own piercings or those of others, look on the pierced Jesus.
Let your heart be pierced with love for Him. Offer your body to Him as a living sacrifice
(Rm 12:1) and a weapon for righteousness (see Rm 6:16, RNAB). Jesus, pierced for our
transgressions, make our hearts like Yours.
Prayer: Prayer: Father, I will glorify You in my body (1 Cor 6:20).
Promise: "Whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake
will save it." -Lk 9:24
Praise: Glory to You, Jesus, pierced for our sins. Alleluia!

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
GOD'S MERCY
MYSTERY OF GOD'S MERCY
The mystery of divine mercy is revealed in the history of the covenant between God and His
people Israel. God shows Himself ever rich in mercy, ever ready to treat His people with
deep tenderness and compassion ...
GOD'S WAY
Mercy "expresses God's way of reaching out to the sinner, offering him a new chance to look
at himself, convert, and believe" (Misericordiae Vultus), thus restoring his relationship
with him.
MERCY TRANSFORMS
God's mercy transforms human hearts; it enables us, through the experience of a faithful
love, to become merciful in turn.
(Source: Message for Lent 2016, dated 10/4/2015, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi)
