The 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time

June 14, 2026 Online Bulletin

Exodus 19:2–6a; Psalm 100; Romans 5:6–11; Matthew 9:36—10:8. Running through today’s readings is the theme of dedication. In Exodus, God dedicates the Chosen People as a holy nation. Paul points out that Christ died for us sinners, in the ultimate act of dedication to his formidable mission. In the Gospel, Jesus sends the Twelve out for the first time, instructing them to dedicate themselves to doing all the things they’d seen him do. May today’s readings inspire us to dedicate ourselves in the same way.

 

 Domenico 11A Del Tempo Ordinario 

O Dio, fortezza di chi spera in te, ascolta benigno le nostre invocazioni, e poiché nella nostra debolezza nulla possiamo senza il tuo aiuto, soccorrici sempre con la tua grazia,  perché fedeli ai tuoi comandamenti possiamo piacerti nelle intenzioni e nelle opere. Per il nostro Signore Gesù Cristo, tuo Figlio, che è Dio, e vive e regna con te, nell'unità dello Spirito Santo, per tutti i secoli dei secoli.

 

常年期第十一主日 (甲)  

在今天的聖經中﹐耶穌邀請我們每一位基督徒認清使命﹐協助耶穌﹐照顧祂的人民﹐傳揚福音。 

讀經一: 出谷紀 (19:2-6) 

你們為我﹐應成為司祭的國家﹐聖潔的國民 

讀經二:聖保祿宗徒致羅馬人書(10:16-17) 

今天的書信指出:耶穌為我們犧牲﹐使我們與天主和好。 

福音:聖瑪竇福音 (9:36-10:8) 

在今天的福音中指出﹐耶穌渴望照顧祂的羊群。祂派遣門徒出外傳教。 

訊息:昔日﹐上主藉梅瑟拯救以色列人脫離為奴之家﹐重獲自由。今日﹐上主藉耶穌基督

拯救我們脫離罪惡和死亡﹐重獲新生。我們是上主所揀選的﹐唯獨上主是天主﹐為回應祂 的慈愛﹐我們應該聽從上主的話﹐全心事奉祂﹐好成為司祭的國家﹐聖潔的子民。莊稼多 ﹐工人少﹐我們當負起傳揚福音的使命﹐以言以行作見證。願萬民早日獲得上主為普世所 準備的`救恩﹐天國得以臨現。

 

From the Pastor’s Desk 

 

"At the sight of the crowds, Jesus’ heart
was moved with pity for them 
because they were troubled and abandoned,
like sheep without a shepherd.
Then he said to his disciples,
“The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;
so ask the master of the harvest
to send out laborers for his harvest.” -Matthew 9:36-38.  

“’The Lord of life knows us and enlightens our hearts with his loving gaze.’ Indeed, every vocation begins with the awareness and experience of a God who is love (cf. 1 Jn 4:16). He knows us profoundly; he has counted the hairs of our head (cf. Mt 10:30) and has envisaged for each person a unique path of holiness and service. Yet this awareness must always be reciprocal. We are invited to know God through prayer, listening to the Word, the Sacraments, the life of the Church and works of charity for our brothers and sisters. Like the young Samuel, who unexpectedly heard the voice of the Lord during the night and learned to recognize it with the help of Eli (cf. 1 Sam 3:1–10), we too must create a space for interior silence in order to hear what the Lord desires for our happiness. This is not a matter of lofty ideas or scholarly learning, but of a personal encounter that transforms one’s life.  God dwells in our hearts. A vocation entails an intimate dialogue with the One who calls and invites us to respond, despite the deafening noise of the world, with true joy and generosity. 

Dear young people, listen to this voice! Listen to the voice of the Lord who invites you to a full and fruitful life, calling you to put your talents to use (cf. Mt 25:14-30) and to unite your limitations and weaknesses with the glorious cross of Christ. Make time, then, for Eucharistic adoration; meditate faithfully on the word of God, so that you may put it into practice each day; and participate actively and fully in the sacramental and ecclesial life of the Church. In this way, you will come to know the Lord. Through the intimacy of his friendship, you will discover how to give of yourselves, whether through marriage, the priesthood, the permanent diaconate, or consecrated life. Every vocation is an immeasurable gift for the Church and for those who receive it with joy. To know the Lord means above all learning to entrust oneself to him and to his providence, which is abundant in every vocation.

May the Virgin Mary, model of the interior acceptance of divine gifts and expert in prayerful listening, always accompany you on this journey!”

-Excerpts from the Message of Pope Leo XIV on the World Day of Prayer for Vocations, April 26, 2026.

Jimmy Piccetti: We were all extremely shocked and saddened at the sudden loss of James (Jimmy) Piccetti. Jimmy suffered a fatal heart attack while riding his bike in the Presidio. 

Jimmy was a lifelong and irreplaceable member of the Church, School, and Boys’ and Girls’ Club. He gave his time, talent, and treasure to all, and he always seemed to have a smile on his face. He had, still has, a million friends. The suddenness of the passing of such an energetic and wonderful man just has all of us stunned.
