ANNOUNCEMENTS:
OUR MISSON
Sacred Heart Parish is the assembly in which God's word is proclaimed, the Eucharist is celebrated and God's people are united in a local community.
Contemplating today's Gospel: Sunday 14 June 2026: Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time (A):1st Reading (Exod 19:2-6a): Responsorial Psalm: 99: R/. We are his people: the sheep of his flock. 2nd Reading (Rom 5:6-11): Gospel text (Mt 9:36—10:8): Today, the Gospel tells us that the Lord — seeing the people — was troubled, because they were disoriented and tired, like sheep without a shepherd (cf. Mt 9:36). The people of Israel knew very well — better than us city dwellers — what a shepherd was, and the chaos that ensued when the sheep were alone without a shepherd. If Jesus were to come today, I believe he would repeat the same words: as there are many people who are disoriented, searching for the meaning of life. Lord, what solution do you provide to this great problem? Well, Jesus calls for prayer, chooses twelve apostles and sends them out to preach the kingdom of God. He chose twelve Apostles! He sends these twelve men to preach: “‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give” (Mt 10:7-8). What the Apostles did, and what we must do, is preach the lovely person of Jesus Christ and his message of peace and love —and do so unselfishly. We are all called to represent and serve the Church as the successors of the Apostles — not just the bishops and priests — but also, in unity with them, all the faithful. Thus, we all have this mission in the world: to heal humanity of its wounds, to guide it in its searches... Not only the bishops and priests, but also the laity: for instance, in family life —in its character of home and school of faith; at the university and in schools; in the media; in the field of healthcare world…, and every Christian in their environment of friendship and work. Let's listen to St. Francis de Sales, who writes: “When God the Creator made all things, he commanded the plants to bring forth fruit each according to its own kind; he has likewise commanded Christians, who are the living plants of his Church, to bring forth the fruits of devotion, each one in accord with his character, his station and his calling.”
