Second Sunday of the Pentecost Season
Gospel: Matthew 28: 16 – 20
Readings: Romans 11: 25 – 36 This Sunday of the Pentecost Season reflects the Sacrament of Baptism which is related to Trinity: “Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
God’s salvation came for the Jews and the pagan as well. The role of the Father is obvious in the Old Testament. The role of the Son and that of the Holy Spirit is clearer in the New Testament. Jesus’ appearance to his disciples after his resurrection indicates that his mission is for the Jews and everyone else.
Jesus’ mission started in Galilee and also in the whole universal Church represented in the twelve disciples through the Risen Lord. Jesus gave his disciples the same mission that the Father gave him, revealing to them the mystery of the living Holy Trinity and confirming what was spoken y the Prophets.

St. Anthony of Padua, Priest and Doctor of the Church, June 13
St. Anthony of Padua was born at Lisbon, Portugal, in 1195. His surname comes from the Italian city where he lived the latter part of his life.
His parents were members of the Portuguese nobility. His early education took place at the Cathedral of Lisbon. At the age of fifteen, he joined the regular Canons of St. Augustine and was transferred to the monastery of Coimbra two years later because of distractions caused by his friends’ visits.
At the monastery, Anthony devoted himself to prayer and study and became a learned scholar of the Bible. In 1221, he set out for Morocco to preach Franciscans. Soon after, he set out for Morocco to preach the Gospel to the Moors.
On the way he was forced to return to Europe because of illness. On his return home, a storm drove his ship to the shores of Italy, where he would live for the rest of his life. Upon his return, Anthony went to Assisi, where the chapter meeting of 1221 took place where he was assigned to the hermitage of San Paolo near Forli. A gifted preacher, Anthony was called upon to teach theology to his fellow Franciscans.
Anthony drew large crowds wherever he went in Italy, but his greatest success was in Padua where they welcomed him as another St. Francis. After the death of St. Francis, Anthony became the minister provincial of Emilia.
Soon after the death of St. Francis, Anthony became the minister provincial of Emilia. Soon after he was released from his duty so he could continue his preaching. He returned to Padua, where he preached until his death on June 13, 1231, at the age of thirty – six. He is a Doctor of the Church.
Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart
I, (Name), give myself and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of Jesus my person and life, my actions, pains, and sufferings, so that I may be unwilling to make use of any part of my being saved to honor, love and glorify the Sacred Heart.
I therefore take you, O Sacred Heart, to be the only object of my love, the guardian of my life, my assurance of salvation, the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy, the atonement for all the faults of my life and my sure refuge at the hour of death. Amen.
