“Put on then, as God’s holy and beloved people, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience.  Forgive one another; and if one has a complaint against another, as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also forgive.  And above all these things put on charity, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.  And let the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body.  And always be thankful - - - And whatever you do in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him” (Colossians 3: 12-15,17).

Gospel Words of Jesus Christ Our Divine Savior
11 And he saith to them: Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if the wife shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. (Mark 10: 11-12)

From the Epistle of Saint Paul to the Romans
 11 For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12 Therefore every one of us shall render account to God for himself. 13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more. But judge this rather, that you put not a stumbling block or a scandal in your brother's way. (Rom 14: 11-13)
Spiritual Thought Of The Week

From Blessed Are The Pure In Heart by Bishop Robert W. Finn: “Chastity is necessary for all Christians, regardless of their state in life, whether they are single, married, or celibate. All are called to respect human dignity. All are called to love.”

From The Imitation Of Christ By Thomas A Kempis
Book Three the Fortieth Chapter - - - “Let Your name, not mine, be praised. Let Your work, not mine, be magnified. Let Your holy name be blessed, but let no human praise be given to me. You are my glory. You are the joy of my heart. In You I will glory and rejoice all the day, and for myself I will glory in nothing but my infirmities.”

From The Teachings Of The Second Vatican Council
SACROSANCTUM CONCILIUM  (On the Sacred Liturgy) - - -  #7: “Rightly, then, the liturgy is considered as an exercise of the priestly office of Jesus Christ. In the liturgy the sanctification of the man is signified by signs perceptible to the senses, and is effected in a way which corresponds with each of these signs; in the liturgy the whole public worship is performed by the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, that is, by the Head and His members.  From this it follows that every liturgical celebration, because it is an action of Christ the priest and of His Body, which is the Church, is a sacred action surpassing all others; no other action of the Church can equal its efficacy by the same title and to the same degree.”

From The Code Of Canon Law Canon 336: “The college of bishops, whose head is the Supreme Pontiff and whose members are bishops by virtue of sacramental consecration and hierarchical communion with the head and members of the college and in which the apostolic body continues, together with its head and never without this head, is also the subject of supreme and full power offer the universal Church.”

Catechism Of The Catholic 2335 “Each of the two sexes is an image of the power and tenderness of God, with equal dignity though in a different way. the union of man and woman in marriage is a way of imitating in the flesh the Creator's generosity and fecundity: "Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh." All human generations proceed from this union.”

Pope Benedict XVI Prayer Intention For June
General - - - - That the Lord protects mariners and all those who are involved in activities on the sea.
Mission - - - - That through its presence and action the Church in North Africa be a witness of God’s love for every individual and people.

  
         juneFrom the earliest centuries, the Church has shown special devotion to the Sacred Heart.  Our Lord confirmed to Saint Margaret Mary the need for this devotion.  In so doing, He made twelve extraordinary promises, which she has conveyed to us.
    Think of all of the needs and hardships that come up in life, sicknesses, injuries, spiritual and economic problems, and all kinds of anxieties.  Bring them to the Sacred Heart every First Friday.  Without doubt, He will hear you.  
    The human heart is the symbol of love.  When Our Blessed Lord appeared to Saint Margaret Mary He showed her His Sacred Heart.  He told her that it is filled with love for every human person.  Never doubt the Lord's love for you.  But never forget that the Lord Jesus longs for you to love Him.  It is almost as though He barters for our love with the divine bribe of His promises.


THESE ARE THE PROMISES OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
1) I will give them the graces needed for their state in life.    2)  I will give them peace in their families.
3) I will console them in their troubles
4) They will find in My Heart an assured refuge during life and       especially at the hour of death.
5) I will pour abundant blessings on all their undertakings.
6) Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and Infinite Ocean of mercy.
7) Tepid souls shall become fervent.
8)  Fervent souls shall speedily rise to great perfection.
9) I will bless the homes in which the image of my Sacred Heart       shall be exposed and honored.
l0) I will give priests the power to touch the most hardened           hearts.
ll) Those who propagate this devotion shall have their name            written in my Heart and it shall never be effaced.
l2) The all powerful love of my Heart will grant to all those who shall receive Communion on the First Friday of nine consecutive months the grace of final repentance; they shall not die under My displeasure, nor without receiving their Sacraments; My Heart shall be their assured refuge at that         last hour.
    If you have not made your nine First Fridays, begin now.  Just think!  Our Divine Savior promised that you will not die under His displeasure.  How wonderful to know that His Sacred Heart will be your assured refuge at the last hour.  Place yourself in the loving hands of the Sacred Heart.  Whatever crosses, which He asks you to carry, bear them with the sure knowledge that He is your refuge and strength.  At the end of your life, He will embrace you with the reward of eternal life.  Indeed, this is the bottom line.  There is no other.  Most Sacred Heat of Jesus, have mercy on us!
