HYMN
Christ Jesus, Lord, true Light of
Light
Begotten Son of God most high,
You sent the Twelve afar to teach
And spread the faith throughout the world.
You gave them special gifts and
grace,
And sent them out the world to win
To bring the gospel's truth to all,
Its seed to scatter far and wide.
Appeased by your apostles'
prayer,
Be gracious to us Lord, we pray,
Smile down on us as we rejoice
To celebrate their feast today.
By their great merits keep us
safe
From every snare of sin and death,
Since we preserve in faithful hearts
The holy teaching they proclaimed.
With face serene look down on us,
Correct us with your loving gaze,
That we may conquer by your grace
The evils that beset our way.
All glory be to you, O Lord,
Beyond the limits of all time,
Who by your true apostles' words,
Lead us, your children, safely home. Amen.
First Reading: Acts 11:21b-26; 13:1-3
Barnabas was a good man, filled
with the Holy Spirit and with faith.
(Reader) A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.
In those days a great number who believed turned to the Lord.
The news about them reached the ears of the Church in Jerusalem,
and they sent Barnabas to go to Antioch.
When he arrived and saw the grace of God,
he rejoiced and encouraged them all
to remain faithful to the Lord in firmness of heart,
for he was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and faith.
And a large number of people was added to the Lord.
Then he went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
and when he had found him he brought him to Antioch.
For a whole year they met with the Church
and taught a large number of people,
and it was in Antioch that the disciples
were first called Christians.
Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers:
Barnabas, Symeon who was called Niger,
Lucius of Cyrene,
Manaen who was a close friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,
“Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul
for the work to which I have called them.”
Then, completing their fasting and prayer,
they laid hands on them and sent them off.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 98:1, 2-3ab, 3cd-4, 5-6; ℟. 2b
℟. (2b) The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.
Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done wondrous deeds;
His right hand has won victory for him,
his holy arm.
℟. The
Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.
The LORD has made his salvation known:
in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice.
He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness
toward the house of Israel.
℟. The
Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God.
Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
break into song: sing praise.
℟. The
Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.
Sing praise to the LORD with the harp,
with the harp and melodious song.
With trumpets and the sound of the horn
sing joyfully before the King, the LORD.
℟. The
Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.

Gospel: Matthew 10:7-13
Without cause you have received;
without cost you are to give.
✠ (Reader) A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
(All) Glory to you, O Lord.
Jesus said to the Twelve
“As you go, make this proclamation:
‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’
Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons.
Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.
Do not take gold or silver or copper for your belts;
no sack for the journey, or a second tunic,
or sandals, or walking stick.
The laborer deserves his keep.
Whatever town or village you enter,
look for a worthy person in it,
and stay there until you leave.
As you enter a house, wish it peace.
If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it;
if not, let your peace return to you.”
This devotional material is suitable for all levels of society, especially for personal, family and community use. Every group and community as well as the Congregation in the Jesus, Mary, Joseph Ministry of Love (Blessed and Saints and the Nine Choirs of Angels) are encouraged to use it freely.
“Preach as you go, saying, ‘The
kingdom of heaven is at hand’” (Mt 10:7). It is the same proclamation with
which Jesus began his preaching: the kingdom of God, that is, his lordship of
love, has come near; it comes in our midst. And this is not just one piece of
news among others, no, but the fundamental reality of life: the closeness of
God, the closeness of Jesus.
Indeed, if the God of heaven is
close, we are not alone on earth, and even in difficulty, we do not lose faith.
Here is the first thing to say to people: God is not far away, but rather he is
a Father. God is not distant, he is a Father, he knows you and he loves you; he
wants to take you by the hand, even when you travel on steep and rugged paths,
even when you fall and struggle to get up again and get back on track. He, the
Lord, is there with you.
To proclaim that God is near —
but how can we do this? In the Gospel, Jesus advises not to say many words, but
rather to perform many deeds of love and hope in the name of the Lord. Not
saying many words, but performing deeds! “Heal the sick”, says the Lord, “raise
the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without pay, give
without pay” (Mt 10:8). Here is the heart of proclamation: freely given
witness, service. (Pope Francis, Angelus, 18 June 2023)

And brings peace to our sighs.

Our sins disappear before his face,
With his birth, all things yield before his power.
A hard slavery would have been our share:
He broke our irons and saved the universe.
