June 2009
With June we come to the end of spring and the beginning of summer. The Church Year is filled with feasts and festivals: Pentecost Sunday is June 5. The Feast of the Holy Trinity is June 12, and the Solemnity of the Body and Blood fo the Lord is June 19 (which is also FathersÕ Day). Friday, June 24, is the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, and the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is June 25. We, Franciscans, celebrate the Solemnity of St. Anthony on June 13. The Solemnity of St. John the Baptist is June 24 and the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, the patrons of the Church of Rome, is on June 29. Pray especially for Pope Benedict during this month, for all our fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, and stepfathers--those who are living and those that have died. We continue to pray for peace in our world, and, as we keep St AnthonyÕs Feast, pray for those who are hungry, that bread and other food may come to the poor. Thank you for your generous support of our missions, your prayers and generosity make a big difference. Be assured of our prayers. If you can, you might want to check out the monthly meditation on line; Brother Octavio lays them out with beautiful pictures. Enjoy the summer!
