First Holy Communion Celebration – St. Benedict the Abbot
Saturday, May 2, 2026 • 5:00 p.m. Mass
Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Times
Today’s Gospel invites us to rediscover the heart of Jesus’ mission: a love that sees, a compassion that moves, and a call that sends. As Jesus looks upon the crowds “like sheep without a shepherd,” He responds not with frustration or judgment, but with tenderness. He calls His disciples, empowers them, and sends them out to heal, to lift burdens, and to proclaim that the Kingdom of God is near.
This Sunday reminds us that discipleship is never passive. We are not only recipients of God’s mercy — we are instruments of it. Christ sends us into our families, workplaces, and communities to be signs of hope, healing, and peace. The harvest is indeed abundant, and each of us has a role in God’s work of renewal.
May we open our hearts to the Spirit who strengthens us, guides us, and equips us for every good work. As we step into this new week, let us carry the compassion of Christ into every encounter, trusting that God multiplies even our smallest acts of love.
Lord, make us faithful laborers in Your vineyard.
Send us where Your love is needed most,
and let our lives reflect the mercy of Your heart. Amen.
Wishing you a blessed and grace‑filled Sunday.
Prayer for June
Gracious and loving God,
As we enter the month of June, open our hearts to the quiet work of Your Spirit.
Bless the longer days with renewed strength, deeper peace, and a fresh desire to walk in Your light.
May Your wisdom guide our choices, Your mercy steady our steps, and Your love shape all we do.
Keep our parish united in faith, generous in service, and joyful in hope.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
