July 29- Aug 3: 17th week Year 1 Weekday Reflections
July 29 Monday: (St. Martha) Matthew 14:13-21: 13
Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a lonely place
apart. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns.
14 As he went ashore, he saw a great throng; and he had compassion on them and
healed their sick. 15 When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said,
“This is a lonely place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go
into the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16 Jesus said, “They need not
go away; you give them something to eat.” 17 They said to him, “We have only
five loaves here and two fish.” 18 And he said, “Bring them here to me.” 19
Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass; and taking the five loaves
and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke and gave the
loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20 And they
all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken
pieces left over. 21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides
women and children. (Cfr also MK 6:30-44, LK 9: 10-17, JN 6: 1-14)
16th week-July 22-27: Weekly Reflections
July 22 Monday (St. Mary Magdalene): Jn 20: 11-18: St.
Mary Magdalene: 11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as
she wept she stooped to look into the tomb; 12 and she saw two angels in white,
sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet.
13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because
they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.”
14 Saying this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know
that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do
you seek?”

July 15-20: Weekday Reflections
July 15 Monday (St. Bonaventure, Bishop, Doctor of the
Church): Mt 10:34–11:1: 34 “Do not think that I have come to bring
peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come
to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a
daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and a man’s foes will be those of
his own household. 37 ..11:
Sacred Heart of Jesus
Introduction by the Celebrant
The heart is the
center of a person, the place from which he/she makes the choices which will
affect the world within them and around them. Devotion to the Heart of Jesus
reminds us that it is in His Sacred Humanity that we find the pattern for
becoming fully human ourselves. In His Incarnation, saving life, death and
Resurrection, we receive both the pattern - and the means - to become more like
Him. The Feast of the Sacred Heart reminds us of our mission in a Culture
which has forgotten God. Let us spend the month of June in Prayer to the Sacred
Heart of Jesus, lifting up our Nation, indeed the whole world, to the One in
whom we place all of our trust. He will not disappoint; His Heart still beats
with Mercy and Love for the world. (Deacon
Keith Fournier)
