The 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time
-
Exodus 19:2–6a; Psalm 100; Romans 5:6–11; Matthew 9:36—10:8. Running through today’s readings is the theme of dedication. In Exodus, God dedicates the Chosen People as a holy nation. Paul points out that Christ died for us sinners, in the ultimate act of dedication to his formidable mission. In the Gospel, Jesus sends the Twelve out for the first time, instructing them to dedicate themselves to doing all the things they’d seen him do. May today’s readings inspire us to dedicate ourselves in the same way.
Domenico 11A Del Tempo Ordinario
O Dio, fortezza di chi spera in te, ascolta benigno le nostre invocazioni, e poiché nella nostra debolezza nulla possiamo senza il tuo aiuto, soccorrici sempre con la tua grazia, * perché fedeli ai tuoi comandamenti possiamo piacerti nelle intenzioni e nelle opere. Per il nostro Signore Gesù Cristo, tuo Figlio, che è Dio, e vive e regna con te, nell'unità dello Spirito Santo, per tutti i secoli dei secoli.
常年期第十一主日 (甲) 6/18/2023
在今天的聖經中﹐耶穌邀請我們每一位基督徒認清使命﹐協助耶穌﹐照顧祂的人民﹐傳揚福音。
讀經一： 出谷紀 (19:2-6)
你們為我﹐應成為司祭的國家﹐聖潔的國民
讀經二：聖保祿宗徒致羅馬人書(10:16-17)
今天的書信指出：耶穌為我們犧牲﹐使我們與天主和好。
福音：聖瑪竇福音 (9:36-10:8)
在今天的福音中指出﹐耶穌渴望照顧祂的羊群。祂派遣門徒出外傳教。
訊息：昔日﹐上主藉梅瑟拯救以色列人脫離為奴之家﹐重獲自由。今日﹐上主藉耶穌基督
拯救我們脫離罪惡和死亡﹐重獲新生。我們是上主所揀選的﹐唯獨上主是天主﹐為回應祂 的慈愛﹐我們應該聽從上主的話﹐全心事奉祂﹐好成為司祭的國家﹐聖潔的子民。莊稼多 ﹐工人少﹐我們當負起傳揚福音的使命﹐以言以行作見證。願萬民早日獲得上主為普世所 準備的`救恩﹐天國得以臨現。
From the Pastor’s Desk
Charles Fantoni’s architectural drawing showing the school to be built around the Church. Note also the mosaics planned for the façade, which sadly could not be completed due to the expense.Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This is continuing the story of Saints Peter and Paul.
The original design of the new church underwent an unplanned dramatic change. To take advantage of the tax-free status of places of worship, a parochial school was built piggyback atop the church. And while today schoolchildren must trudge several stories to their classes, the classroom windows offer spectacular views of the bay and The City.
The total cost of the land, church, and school with their interior furnishings came to $800,000. A very burdensome debt in the Depression years that soon followed!
It was during the twenties that the Salesian commitment to the education and religious training of the young was realized. In 1924, the Salesian Boys Club was born. This quickly became a haven for the numerous children of the area; sports, music, and other social activities thrived.
Five years later, the Salesian parochial school and high school were founded. The school was initially staffed by Salesian priests and brothers; and the Holy Family Sisters conducted catechism classes after school hours. In time, the Presentation Sisters took over the operation of the school. After their departure in 1950 the Salesian Sisters, an order of nuns founded by Saint Mary Mazzarello and Saint John Bosco, staffed the Salesian School, which by the time had become coeducational. (To be continued).
Have a blessed week!
