The month of June falls within the liturgical season of Ordinary Time, which is
represented by the liturgical color green. This symbol of hope is the color of
the sprouting seed and arouses in the faithful the hope of reaping the eternal
harvest of heaven, especially the hope of a glorious resurrection. It is used in
the offices and Masses of Ordinary Time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Holy Father's Intentions for the Month of June 2024

For migrants leaving their homes: We pray that migrants fleeing from war or
hunger, forced to undertake journeys full of danger and violence, find welcome
and new opportunities in the countries that receive them. (See also Apostleship
of Prayer)

which will be shed for many."



June 9th

will of God is my brother and sister and mother."



June 16th
Eleventh Sunday

Cycle B, Mk 4:26-34: The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed that, when it is
sown in the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth. But once it
is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants and puts forth large
branches, so that the birds of the sky can dwell in its shade.”

June 23rd
Twelfth Sunday

Cycle B, Mk 4:35-41: He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Quiet!
Be still!” The wind ceased and there was great calm.

koum," which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise!" The girl, a child of
twelve, arose immediately and walked around.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Highlights of the Month

As we begin to feel the warmth of summer, we can reflect that we celebrate the
feasts of Corpus Christi (June 2), the Sacred Heart of Jesus (June 7) and the
Immaculate Heart of Mary (June 8). God is Love and the Sacred Heart of Jesus —
present on earth in the Blessed Sacrament — is the human manifestation of God's
Love for men. Appropriately June is considered the month for weddings where
human hearts join and cooperate with the Creator in bringing forth new life. The
family they create is a human reflection of the Blessed Trinity.

The saints that we will focus on this month are:
St. Justin (June 1),
St. Charles Lwanga & Companions (June 3),
St. Boniface (June 5),
St. Norbert (June 6),
St. Barnabas (June 11),
St. Anthony of Padua (June 13),
St. Romuald (June 19),
St. Aloysius Gonzaga (June 21),
Sts. John Fisher and Thomas More (June 22),
St. Paulinus (June 22),
the Nativity of St. John the Baptist (June 24),
St. Josemaría Escrivá (June 26),
St. Cyril of Alexandria (June 27),
St. Irenaeus (June 28),
and the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul (June 29)



The feasts Sts. Marcellinus and Peter (June 2), St. Ephrem (June 9), and the
First Martyrs of the Church of Rome (June 30) are superseded by the Sunday
liturgy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Time of Love

Following Pentecost, the Church begins her slow descent from the great peaks of
the Easter Season to the verdant pastures of Ordinary Time, the longest of the
liturgical seasons. She pauses briefly, to praise the Holy Trinity — Creator,
Redeemer, and Sanctifier; and then the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of
Christ, Corpus Christi. Like the lush June growth all around us, the green of
the liturgical season points to the new life won for us by the Redemption of
Jesus Christ, the new life of Charity. For Our Lord came to cast the fire of His
love on the earth, and to that end, sent His Holy Spirit at Pentecost in the
form of tongues of fire.

Therefore, the close of the Easter season marks not the cessation but rather the
beginning of Ordinary Time is the commencement of the Church’s activity.
Ordinary Time is the hour to “go out to all the world and tell the good news.”
The feasts of June highlight this expansion of the Church. At least ten times,
the Church vests in the red of the martyrs whose blood is the very seed of her
growth. She also celebrates the feasts of the Apostles Peter and Paul, and the
birth of St. John the Baptist, proto-disciple and prophet.

We, too, are called to be witnesses like the apostles and martyrs. May the Heart
of Jesus inflame our hearts so that we may be worthy of our Baptismal call to
holiness. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
