Year of the Eucharist
Seventh Sunday after the Pentecost
Gospel: Matthew, 12: 14 - 21
Readings: Romans 8: 1 - 11 The Sundays that come between the fifth and the tenth of Pentecost Season concentrate on the Spirit's presence in the mission of the twelve disciples, their testimony to the Church through the strong relationship between the feast of two disciples Peter and Paul and the feast of the twelve apostles. This Sunday we focus on the apostles' spirituality.
Matthew is the only evangelist to use Isaiah's testimony to describe Jesus' mercy and meekness. The apostles' mission is not easy: "I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves", "they will persecute you, the same way they persecuted me, do not be afraid, I conquered the world."
In today's Gospel, we see the Pharisees increase their animosity against Jesus, who did not reply with the same ill will, instead he chose to stay away from them and continue his apostolic mission with his apostles according to the Spirit of love and meekness.

Anima Christi Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within thy wounds hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from thee.
From the malignant enemy, defend me. In the hour of my death, call me.
And bid me come to thee.
That with thy saints I may praise thee.
Forever and ever. Amen."St. Ignatius Loyola."
