Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of

R. Amen. 

FIRST READING 

A reading from the Second Book of Kings (4:8-11, 14-16a) 

(Elisha is a holy man of God, let him remain) 

One day Elisha came to Shunem, where there was a woman of 

influence, who urged him to dine with her. Afterward, whenever he 

passed by, he used to stop there to dine. So she said to her husband, 

“I know that Elisha is a holy man of God. Since he visits us often, let 

us arrange a little room on the roof and furnish it for him with a bed, 

table, chair, and lamp, so that when he comes to us he can stay there.” 

Sometime later Elisha arrived and stayed in the room overnight. 

Later Elisha asked, “Can something be done for her?” His servant Gehazi 

answered, “Yes! She has no son, and her husband is getting on in years.” 

Elisha said, “Call her.” When the woman had been called and stood at 

the door, Elisha promised, “This time next year you will be fondling a 

baby son.” 

—The Word of the Lord. 

R. Thanks be to God. 

RESPONSORIAL PSALM (89:2-3, 16-17, 18-19) 

R. Forever I will sing the goodness of the Lord (89:2a) 

The promises of the Lord I will sing forever, 

through all generations my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness. 

For you have said, “My kindness is established forever”; 

in heaven you have confirmed your faithfulness.(R) 

Blessed the people who know the joyful shout; 

in the light of your countenance, O Lord, they walk. 

At your name they rejoice all the day, 

and through your justice they are exalted. (R) 

You are the splendor of their strength, 

and by your favor our horn is exalted. 

For to the Lord belongs our shield, 

and to the Holy One of Israel, our king. (R) 

The Liturgy of the Word 

SECOND READING 

A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans (6:3-4, 8-11) 

(Buried with Christ in baptism, we shall walk in the newness of life) 

Brothers and sisters: Are you unaware that we who were baptized into 

Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were indeed buried with 

him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from 

the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life. 

If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with 

him. We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death 

no longer has power over him. As to his death, he died to sin once and 

for all; as to his life, he lives for God. Consequently, you too must think of 

yourselves as dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus. 

—The Word of the Lord. 

R. Thanks be to God. 

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION (1 Peter 2:9) 

R. Alleluia, alleluia. 

You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation; announce the 

praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. (R) 

GOSPEL 

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew (10:37-42) 

(Whoever does not take up his cross is not worthy of me. Whoever receives you, receives me) 

Jesus said to his apostles: “Whoever loves father or mother more than 

me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than 

me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and 

follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, 

and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 

“Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives 

the one who sent me. Whoever receives a prophet because he is 

a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a 

righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous 

man’s reward. And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of 

these little ones to drink because the little one is a disciple—amen, I say 

to you, he will surely not lose his reward.” 

—The Gospel of the Lord. 

R. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

The Nicene Creed 

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, 

maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. 

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born 

of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God 

from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; 

through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation 

he came down from heaven, (bow your head) and by the Holy Spirit 

was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. (lift your head) 

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death 

and was buried, and rose againon the third day in accordance with the 

Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand 

of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the 

dead and his kingdom will have no end. 

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from 

the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored 

and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. 

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism 

for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of 

the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen 

The Liturgy of the Eucharist 

PRAYER Over The Offerings 


O God, who graciously accomplish 

the effects of your mysteries, 

grant, we pray, that the deeds 

by which we serve you may be 

worthy of these sacred gifts. 

Through Christ our Lord. 

R. Amen. 

COMMUNION ANTIPHON 

(cf. Psalm 103 (102):1) 

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and 

all within me, his holy name. 

An act of spiritual communion 

*this is to be prayed at the time when we 

would normally receive communion* 

My Jesus, 

I believe that you are in 

the blessed sacrament. 

June 28, 2020 | Page 5 

I love you above all things 

and I long for you in my soul. 

since I cannot now receive you 

sacramentally, 

come at least spiritually 

into my heart. 

as though you have already 

come, 

I embrace you 

and unite myself entirely 

to you; never permit me 

to be separated from you. 

Amen. 

PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION 


May this divine sacrifice we have 

offered and received fill us with 

life, O Lord, we pray, so that, bound 

to you in lasting charity, we may 

bear fruit that lasts forever. 

Through Christ our Lord. 

R. Amen. 

Hail Mary 

Hail, Mary, full of grace,the Lord is with thee.Blessed art 

thou among womenand blessed is the fruit of thywomb, 

Jesus.Holy Mary, Mother of God,pray for us sinners,now 

and at the hour of our death. 

Amen. 

Prayer to St. Michael 

St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against 

the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly 

pray; and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of 

God, thrust into Hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl about the 

world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Saint of the Week 

St. JunÍpero Serra, O.F.M. 

(November 24,1713 – August 28, 1784) 

In 1776, when the American Revolution was beginning in 

the east, another part of the future United States was 

being born in California. That year a gray-robed Franciscan 

founded Mission San Juan Capistrano, now famous for its 

annually returning swallows. San Juan was the seventh 

of nine missions established under the direction of this 

indomitable Spaniard. 

Born on Spain’s island of Mallorca, Serra entered the Franciscan Order taking the name of Saint Francis’ childlike companion, Brother 

Juniper. Until he was 35, he spent most of his time in the classroom—first as a student of theology and then as a professor. He also became 

famous for his preaching. Suddenly he gave it all up and followed the yearning that had begun years before when he heard about the missionary 

work of Saint Francis Solano in South America. Junipero’s desire was to convert native peoples in the New World. 

Arriving by ship at Vera Cruz, Mexico, he and a companion walked the 250 miles to Mexico City. On the way Junipero’s left leg became infected 

by an insect bite and would remain a cross—sometimes life-threatening—for the rest of his life. For 18 years, he worked in central Mexico 

and in the Baja Peninsula. He became president of the missions there. 

Enter politics: the threat of a Russian invasion south from Alaska. Charles III of Spain ordered an expedition to beat Russia to the territory. 

So the last two conquistadors—one military, one spiritual—began their quest. José de Galvez persuaded Junipero to set out with him for 

present-day Monterey, California. The first mission founded after the 900-mile journey north was San Diego in 1769. That year a shortage of 

food almost canceled the expedition. Vowing to stay with the local people, Junipero and another friar began a novena in preparation for St. 

Joseph’s day, March 19, the scheduled day of departure. On that day, the relief ship arrived. 

Other missions followed: Monterey/Carmel (1770); San Antonio and San Gabriel (1771); San Luís Obispo (1772); San Francisco and San Juan 

Capistrano (1776); Santa Clara (1777); San Buenaventura (1782). Twelve more were founded after Serra’s death. 

Junipero’s missionary life was a long battle 

with cold and hunger, with unsympathetic 

military commanders and even with danger 

of death from non-Christian native peoples. 

Through it all his unquenchable zeal was fed 

by prayer each night, often from midnight till 

dawn. He baptized over 6,000 people and confirmed 

5,000. His travels would have circled 

the globe. He brought the Native Americans not 

only the gift of faith but also a decent standard 

of living. He won their love, as witnessed 

especially by their grief at his death. He is buried 

at Mission San Carlo Borromeo, Carmel, and 

was beatified in 1988. Pope Francis canonized 

him in Washington, D.C., on September 23, 2015. 

Reflection 

The word that best describes Junipero is zeal. It was a spirit that came from his deep prayer and dauntless will. “Always forward, never back” was his 

motto. His work bore fruit for 50 years after his death as the rest of the missions were founded in a kind of Christian communal living by the Indians.
