Fifth Sunday of the Pentecost Season
The Birth of John the Baptist
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 that of 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 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 the about what lays ahead for them. He gave them the power to heal the souls and the bodies through the Holy Spirit.

Sts. Peter & Paul, Apostles, June 29
A feast, honouring these two saints has been celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church since the 3rd Century.There is sound evidence that both Sts. Peter & Paul preached in the city of Rome and were martyred there under the Emperor Nero about the year 64, Simon a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee was one of the first whom Jesus called to follow him.
Changing his name to Peter, “Rock” the Lord promised to build his Church on him and gave hi power in heaven and on earth. A natural spokesman for the other disciples, Peter called Jesus “Christ the Son of the Living God.” Tradition says he died crucified head down, since he considered himself unworthy to die as his Lord had done.
Saul of Tarsus was a zealous Jew, who after his dramatic conversion on the way to Damascus became a fervent apostle of Jesus. After a three-year period in Arabia, where he assimilated his new faith Paul journeyed to the cities of Damascus, Jerusalem, Antioch and then crisscrossed the cities of Asia Minor establishing communities of Christians among the gentiles.
Because of his activity he suffered constant harassment from his enemies, enduring shipwreck, imprisonment, and beatings. At the same time he was greatly loved by the Christians to whom he ministered. After imprisonment in Rome, he was beheaded along the Ostian Way where his burial place is still venerated.
