Seventh Sunday of the Pentecost Season
Gospel: Luke 10: 1 – 7
Readings: 2 Corinthians 3: 1 – 6 The mission of the Gospel is not confined to the twelve disciples. The preaching in Palestine spread to the pagan world. Jesus today, on the seventh Sunday of the Pentecost Season, invited the seventy-two disciples like the apostles to their mission of preaching.
The same way Moses called his seventy-two helpers in the desert. God wrote the Ten Commandments and he created the Churches served by the apostles. St. Paul insisted in his letter to the Corinthians on God’s grace. Jesus provided them with this commandment: “Greet no one on the way.”
It is like telling them: “The time is drawing near. The preaching about God’s Kingdom doesn’t allow delays or time wasting in this house of the other. The Church’s journey accompanied by Jesus is like an infant reaching out to be held.

La Rosa Mystica, July 13
In Montichiari, Italy, a then unmarried woman, Pierina Gillio (1911 – 1991) began to have visions of Our Lady. Pierina was an assistant nurse in a hospital at that time. After a 19-year pause, the visions shifted to the suburb of Fontanelle. After Church authorities banned Pierina from the place of the visions.
Mary continued to appear to her favourite soul in privacy until 1983. She had 8 visions in Montichiari, 4 in Fontanelle and about 45 in privacy. On June 13, 1947 the Holy Virgin told Pierina: “Our Lord has sent me to be bring you a new Marian Feast… I wish that the 13th day of each month was celebrated as a Marian day.
The twelve preceding days should be devoted to preparatory prayers. This day should be a day of the forgiveness of offences to our Lord from souls consecrated to God. Their sins pierced my heart and the Heart of my Divine Son Jesus Christ as if by three red-hot swords.”
A number of extraordinary phenomena took place in Fontanelle. It was the scene of numerous healings of bodily and mental ailments. In 1988 the number of pilgrimage statues of Rosa Mystica was estimated at 50,000. Many of these statues weep, sometimes even tears of blood.
Mystical Rose, Mother of Jesus, the Queen of Holy Rosary and the mother of Church and of the mystical Christ’s Body, we beg you on behalf of the world torn by disagreements, please grant a gift of understanding and peace and all mercies capable of amending the hearts of a number of your children.
