14th Sunday after Pentecost 2019
We celebrate wonderful saints at this time of the liturgical year.  This week we have the following: St. Francis and his stigmata, St. Joseph Cupertino, St. Januarius and St. Matthew.  The Epistle for this Mass is a lesson on the spiritual life.  Our Lord stresses the importance of seeking this life in union with Him above all other considerations.  Today we also commemorate the Seven Sorrows of our Blessed Mother and her close participation in the sufferings and death of her Divine Son.
