    June 14, 2026. Gospel: Luke 15:1-10. Third Sunday after Pentecost.

    1 Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him. Erant autem appropinquantes ei publicani, et peccatores ut audirent illum.  2 And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. Et murmurabant pharisaei, et scribae, dicentes : Quia hic peccatores recipit, et manducat cum illis.  3 And he spoke to them this parable, saying: Et ait ad illos parabolam istam dicens :  4 What man of you that hath an hundred sheep: and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which was lost, until he find it? Quis ex vobis homo, qui habet centum oves, et si perdiderit unam ex illis, nonne dimittit nonaginta novem in deserto, et vadit ad illam quae perierat, donec inveniat eam?  5 And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing: Et cum invenerit eam, imponit in humeros suos gaudens :  6 And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost? et veniens domum convocat amicos et vicinos, dicens illis : Congratulamini mihi, quia inveni ovem meam, quae perierat.  7 I say to you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance. Dico vobis quod ita gaudium erit in caelo super uno peccatore poenitentiam agente, quam super nonaginta novem justis, qui non indigent poenitentia.  8 Or what woman having ten groats; if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it? Aut quae mulier habens drachmas decem, si perdiderit drachmam unam, nonne accendit lucernam, et everrit domum, et quaerit diligenter, donec inveniat?  9 And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost. Et cum invenerit convocat amicas et vicinas, dicens : Congratulamini mihi, quia inveni drachmam quam perdideram.  10 So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance. Ita, dico vobis, gaudium erit coram angelis Dei super uno peccatore poenitentiam agente. [10] "Before the angels": By this it is plain that the spirits in heaven have a concern for us below, and a joy at our repentance and consequently a knowledge of it.

    June 13, 2026. Gospel: Matt 5:13-19. St Anthony of Padua, Confessor, Doctor of the Church

    13 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men. Vos estis sal terrae. Quod si sal evanuerit, in quo salietur? ad nihilum valet ultra, nisi ut mittatur foras, et conculcetur ab hominibus.  14 You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid. Vos estis lux mundi. Non potest civitas abscondi supra montem posita,  15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house. neque accedunt lucernam, et ponunt eam sub modio, sed super candelabrum, ut luceat omnibus qui in domo sunt.  16 So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Sic luceat lux vestra coram hominibus : ut videant opera vestra bona, et glorificent Patrem vestrum, qui in caelis est.  17 Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. Nolite putare quoniam veni solvere legem, aut prophetas : non veni solvere, sed adimplere.  18 For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. Amen quippe dico vobis, donec transeat caelum et terra, jota unum aut unus apex non praeteribit a lege, donec omnia fiant.  19 He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Qui ergo solverit unum de mandatis istis minimis, et docuerit sic homines, minimus vocabitur in regno caelorum : qui autem fecerit et docuerit, hic magnus vocabitur in regno caelorum. [17] "To fulfill": By accomplishing all the figures and prophecies; and perfecting all that was imperfect. [18] "Amen": That is, assuredly of a truth. This Hebrew word, amen, is here retained by the example and authority of all the four Evangelists. It is used by our Lord as a strong asseveration, and affirmation of the truth.

    June 12, 2026. Gospel: John 19:31-37. Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

    31 Then the Jews, (because it was the parasceve,) that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath day, (for that was a great sabbath day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Judaei ergo ( quoniam parasceve erat) ut non remanerent in cruce corpora sabbato ( erat enim magnus dies ille sabbati), rogaverunt Pilatum ut frangerentur eorum crura, et tollerentur.  32 The soldiers therefore came; and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him. Venerunt ergo milites : et primi quidem fregerunt crura, et alterius, qui crucifixus est cum eo.  33 But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. Ad Jesum autem cum venissent, ut viderunt eum jam mortuum, non fregerunt ejus crura,  34 But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side, and immediately there came out blood and water. sed unus militum lancea latus ejus aperuit, et continuo exivit sanguis et aqua.  35 And he that saw it, hath given testimony, and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true; that you also may believe. Et qui vidit, testimonium perhibuit : et verum est testimonium ejus. Et ille scit quia vera dicit : ut et vos credatis.  36 For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him. Facta sunt enim haec ut Scriptura impleretur : Os non comminuetis ex eo.  37 And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom they pierced. Et iterum alia Scriptura dicit : Videbunt in quem transfixerunt. The Sacred Heart of our Lord is opened on the Cross by the soldier's lance to manifest to us His love.

    June 11, 2026. Gospel: Matt 10:16-22. St Barnabas, Apostle

    16 Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves. Ecce ego mitto vos sicut oves in medio luporum. Estote ergo prudentes sicut serpentes, et simplices sicut columbae.  17 But beware of men. For they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues. Cavete autem ab hominibus. Tradent enim vos in conciliis, et in synagogis suis flagellabunt vos :  18 And you shall be brought before governors, and before kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles: et ad praesides, et ad reges ducemini propter me in testimonium illis, et gentibus.  19 But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak. Cum autem tradent vos, nolite cogitare quomodo, aut quid loquamini : dabitur enim vobis in illa hora, quid loquamini :  20 For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. non enim vos estis qui loquimini, sed Spiritus Patris vestri, qui loquitur in vobis. [16] "Simple": That is, harmless, plain, sincere, and without guile. St Barnabas was not one of the Twelve. He was the companion of St Paul and merited the title of Apostle by his preaching and labours. He was stoned A.D. 61.

    June 10, 2026. Gospel: Matt 13:44-52. St Margaret-Queen of Scotland, Widow

    44 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Simile est regnum caelorum thesauro abscondito in agro : quem qui invenit homo, abscondit, et prae gaudio illius vadit, et vendit universa quae habet, et emit agrum illum.  45 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls. Iterum simile est regnum caelorum homini negotiatori, quaerenti bonas margaritas.  46 Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it. Inventa autem una pretiosa margarita, abiit, et vendidit omnia quae habuit, et emit eam.  47 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes. Iterum simile est regnum caelorum sagenae missae in mare, et ex omni genere piscium congreganti.  48 Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth. Quam, cum impleta esset, educentes, et secus littus sedentes, elegerunt bonis in vasa, malos autem foras miserunt.  49 So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just. Sic erit in consummatione saeculi : exibunt angeli, et separabunt malos de medio justorum,  50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. et mittent eos in caminum ignis : ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium.  51 Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes. Intellexistis haec omnia? Dicunt ei : Etiam.  52 He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old. Ait illis : Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno caelorum, similis est homini patrifamilias, qui profert de thesauro suo nova et vetera. Margaret was born in Hungary, though the Saxon royal stock and was married to Malcom III, King of Scotland. Her long reign of thirty years was illustrious for her inexhaustible charity to the poor. She died A.D. 1093 and is honoured among the Patrons of Scotland.

    June 9, 2026. Gospel: Matt 11:25-30. Ss Primus and Felician, Martyrs

    25 At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to the little ones. In illo tempore respondens Jesus dixit : Confiteor tibi, Pater, Domine caeli et terrae, quia abscondisti haec a sapientibus, et prudentibus, et revelasti ea parvulis.  26 Yea, Father; for so hath it seemed good in thy sight. Ita Pater : quoniam sic fuit placitum ante te.  27 All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth the Son, but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him. Omnia mihi tradita sunt a Patre meo. Et nemo novit Filium, nisi Pater : neque Patrem quis novit, nisi Filius, et cui voluerit Filius revelare.  28 Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you. Venite ad me omnes qui laboratis, et onerati estis, et ego reficiam vos.  29 Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls. Tollite jugum meum super vos, et discite a me, quia mitis sum, et humilis corde : et invenietis requiem animabus vestris.  30 For my yoke is sweet and my burden light. Jugum enim meum suave est, et onus meum leve. Primus and Felician were brothers. After suffering the most cruel torments for the Faith, they were beheaded at Rome. A.D. 286.

    June 8, 2026. Gospel: Luke 14:16-24. Feria Within the Octave

    16 But he said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many. At ipse dixit ei : Homo quidam fecit coenam magnam, et vocavit multos.  17 And he sent his servant at the hour of supper to say to them that were invited, that they should come, for now all things are ready. Et misit servum suum hora coenae dicere invitatis ut venirent, quia jam parata sunt omnia.  18 And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray thee, hold me excused. Et coeperunt simul omnes excusare. Primus dixit ei : Villam emi, et necesse habeo exire, et videre illam : rogo te, habe me excusatum.  19 And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them: I pray thee, hold me excused. Et alter dixit : Juga boum emi quinque, et eo probare illa : rogo te, habe me excusatum.  20 And another said: I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. Et alius dixit : Uxorem duxi, et ideo non possum venire.  21 And the servant returning, told these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant: Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the feeble, and the blind, and the lame. Et reversus servus nuntiavit haec domino suo. Tunc iratus paterfamilias, dixit servo suo : Exi cito in plateas et vicos civitatis : et pauperes, ac debiles, et caecos, et claudos introduc huc.  22 And the servant said: Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. Et ait servus : Domine, factum est ut imperasti, et adhuc locus est.  23 And the Lord said to the servant: Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. Et ait dominus servo : Exi in vias, et saepes : et compelle intrare, ut impleatur domus mea.  24 But I say unto you, that none of those men that were invited, shall taste of my supper. Dico autem vobis quod nemo virorum illorum qui vocati sunt, gustabit coenam meam.
