Fifth Sunday of the Pentecost Season
Gospel: Matthew 10: 1 – 7
Readings: Philippians 3: 7 – 14 This Sunday the Gospel focuses on sending the apostles on their mission around the time of the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul and the twelve disciples.
They journeyed from Zion, the mother of all churches, flying high like eagles. They preached in the whole world and brought many to repentance. They also baptized many people in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Since the day that Paul saw the Lord on the way to Damascus to persecute Christians, his heart was filled with faith in Jesus. Paul left everything and followed Christ and defended his Church. Jesus sent his disciples to preach.
He gave them the grace to work according to the Father’s will. He warned them about what lays ahead fro them. He gave them the power to heal the souls and the bodies.

St. Thomas, Apostle July 3rd
St. Thomas, one of the twelve apostles, was a Jew from Galilee called by Jesus to accompany him on his mission to proclaim the Kingdom of God When Jesus’ life was threatened as he went to raise Lazarus from the dead, Thomas said to the others, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”
At the Last Supper, when Jesus spoke of going away to his Father, Thomas replied, “Lord, we do not know where you are going, and how can we know the way?” With the rest of the apostles, Thomas fled when Jesus was arrested and put to death. On Easter Sunday, Thomas was not with the others when Jesus came into the room where they were.
Though they told him jubilantly, “We have seen the Lord!” Thomas answered, “I will not believe until I put my finger into the nail marks in his hands and his side.” The expression “Doubting Thomas,” comes from this incident. One week later, when Jesus appeared again to his disciples, Thomas was with them. Jesus said, “Take your finger and examine my hands.
Put your hand into my side. Do not remain an unbeliever. Believe!” Thomas said, “My Lord and my God!” “The unbelief of Thomas has done more for our faith than the faith of the other disciples,” St. Gregory the Great has said. Our doubts are answered by the demand of Thomas to know that Jesus’ resurrection was real. Thomas is said to have preached the Gospel to the people of India. He was martyred and buried at Mylapore, India. The date of death is unknown.
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.
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.”
