4th Sunday After Pentecost 2021
The season after Pentecost is the time for making saints because by grace the kingdom of God is within you through the indwelling of the Holy Trinity.  The liturgy is best expressed in the Holy Mass and then through the Divine Office.  The Holy Rosary is next in importance as the means provided for us to increase in charity.  We learn from the bible readings assigned to these weeks the history of salvation.  This Sunday reminds us of David and Goliath and St. Augustine interprets that for us.  The Gospel points out the mission given by Christ to St. Peter and his successors.  The saints for this week show these truths in action especially St. John the Baptist and the Roman martyrs Sts. John and Paul.  Finally, it is good to note that Fathers’ Day comes during the month of the Sacred Heart.
