Next Sunday's Mass Readings – June 28, 2020
Reading 1 2 KINGS 4:8-11, 14-16A
One day Elisha came to Shunem, where there was a woman of influence, who urged him to dine with her.
Afterward, whenever he passed by, he used to stop there to dine. So she said to her husband, “I know that Elisha is a holy
man of God. Since he visits us often, let us arrange a little room on the roof and furnish it for him with a bed, table, chair,
and lamp, so that when he comes to us he can stay there.” Sometime later Elisha arrived and stayed in the room overnight.
Later Elisha asked, “Can something be done for her?” His servant Gehazi answered, “Yes! She has no son, and her husband
is getting on in years.” Elisha said, “Call her.” When the woman had been called and stood at the door, Elisha promised,
“This time next year you will be fondling a baby son.”
Responsorial Psalm PSALMS 89:2-3, 16-17, 18-19
R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
The promises of the LORD I will sing forever, through all generations my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness.
For you have said, “My kindness is established forever;” in heaven you have confirmed your faithfulness.
R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
Blessed the people who know the joyful shout; in the light of your countenance, O LORD, they walk.
At your name they rejoice all the day, and through your justice they are exalted.
R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
You are the splendor of their strength, and by your favor our horn is exalted.
For to the LORD belongs our shield, and the Holy One of Israel, our king.
R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
Reading 2 ROMANS 6:3-4, 8-11
Brothers and sisters:
Are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead
by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life.
If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.
We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him.
As to his death, he died to sin once and for all; as to his life, he lives for God.
Consequently, you too must think of yourselves as dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus.
Gospel MATTHEW 10:37-42
Jesus said to his apostles:
“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me,
and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
"Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.
Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward,
and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because the little one is a disciple—
amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”

Oración para superar el racismo
María, amiga y madre de todos, a través de tu Hijo Dios ha encontrado un camino para unirse a todos los seres
humanos, llamados a ser un solo pueblo, hermanas y hermanos entre sí. Pedimos tu ayuda al recurrir a tu Hijo,
buscando el perdón por las veces en que hemos fallado en amarnos y respetarnos. Pedimos tu ayuda para obtener de tu
Hijo la gracia que necesitamos para vencer el mal del racismo y construir una sociedad justa. Pedimos tu ayuda para
seguir a tu Hijo, para que el prejuicio y la animosidad no infecten ya nuestras mentes o corazones sino que sean
reemplazados por el amor que respeta la dignidad de cada persona. Madre de la Iglesia, el Espíritu de tu Hijo Jesús
alienta nuestros corazones: Ruega por nosotros. Amén.
Prayer to overcome racism
Mary, friend and mother to all, through your Son, God has found a way to unite himself to every human being, called to
be one people, sisters and brothers to each other. We ask for your help in calling on your Son, seeking forgiveness for
the times when we have failed to love and respect one another. We ask for your help in obtaining from your Son the
grace we need to overcome the evil of racism and to build a just society. We ask for your help in following your Son, so
that prejudice and animosity will no longer infect our minds or hearts but will be replaced with a love that respects the
dignity of each person. Mother of the Church, the Spirit of your Son Jesus warms our hearts: pray for us. Amen.
