First Holy Communion Celebration – St. Benedict the Abbot
Saturday, May 2, 2026 • 5:00 p.m. Mass
Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Times
Today’s Gospel reminds us that God’s Kingdom grows quietly, patiently, and often in ways we cannot see. Jesus speaks of wheat and weeds growing together, of a tiny mustard seed becoming a sheltering tree, and of yeast transforming dough from within. These images reassure us that God is always at work — even when life feels tangled, slow, or uncertain.
We may carry our own “weeds”: frustrations, fears, habits we wish we could uproot. Yet Christ teaches that God’s grace is patient. He does not rush to judge or discard. Instead, He nurtures what is good in us until it becomes strong enough to transform everything around it.
As we enter this new week, may we trust the quiet work of God in our hearts, our families, and our parish community. May we sow kindness, speak hope, and allow God’s gentle grace to grow in us like the smallest seed becoming something beautiful.
Prayer for July
A Prayer for Renewal, Peace, and Trust in God’s Care
Heavenly Father,
As we enter the month of July, we pause to rest in Your presence and give thanks for the blessings You continually pour into our lives. In the warmth of summer and the quiet moments of reflection, help us to recognize Your gentle guidance in all things.
Lord Jesus,
Teach us to walk in Your humility and peace. Calm our worries, lighten our burdens, and renew our spirits. May Your words—“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened”—become our daily invitation to trust more deeply in Your love.
Holy Spirit,
Fill our homes, our parish, and our hearts with Your wisdom. Inspire us to live with compassion, patience, and generosity. Strengthen our faith so that we may be instruments of hope to those who feel weary or alone.
Bless our families, our work, and our community throughout this month. Guard those who travel, comfort those who struggle, and uplift those who seek Your healing. May July be a time of grace, growth, and renewed closeness to You.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
