TRANSCRIPT
TTwelftth SSundday inOrdinary Timmee
“So, do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father. But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly
Father.” (Mt 10:31-33)
In response to the coronavirus outbreak, Pilot Bulletins is providing this bulletin.

“Do not be afraid,” Jesus assures us three times in today’s Gospel.
Be not afraidBy Scott Hahn
Our commitment to Christ will be put to the test.
We will hear whispered warnings and denunciations, as Jeremiah does in today’s First Reading. Even so-called friends will try to trap us and trip us up.
For His sake we will bear insults and be made outcasts — even in our own homes, we hear in today’s Psalm.
As Jeremiah tells us, we must expect that God will challenge our faith in Him, and probe our minds and hearts, to test the depths of our love.
“Do not be afraid,” Jesus assures us three times in today’s Gospel.
Though He may permit us to suffer for our faith, our Father will never forget or abandon us. As Jesus assures us today, everything unfolds in His Providence, under His watchful gaze — even the falling of the tiniest sparrow to the ground. Each one of us is precious to Him.
Steadfast in this faith, we must resist the tactics of Satan. He is the enemy who seeks the ruin of our soul in Gehenna, or hell.
We are to seek God, as the Psalmist says. Zeal for the Lord’s house, for the heavenly kingdom of the Father, should con-sume us, as it consumed Jesus (see John 2:17). As Jesus bore the insults of those who blasphemed God, so should we (see Romans 15:3).
By the gracious gift of himself, Jesus bore the transgressions of the world, Paul tells us in today’s Epistle. In rising from the dead, He has shown us that God rescues the life of the poor, that He does not spurn His own when they are in dis-tress. In His great mercy, He will turn toward us, as well. He will deliver us from the power of the wicked.
That is why we proclaim His name from the housetops, as Jesus tells us. That is why we sing praise and offer thanksgiv-ing in every Eucharist. We are confident in Jesus’ promise — that we who declare our faith in Him before others will be remembered before our heavenly Father.
Act of Spiritual Communion Prayer
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

HOW TO PRAY THE ROSARYFamiliarize yourself and/or your group with the prayers of the rosary.1. Make the Sign of the Cross.2. Holding the Crucifix, say the Apostles’ Creed.3. On the first bead, say an Our Father.4. Say one Hail Mary on each of the next three beads.5. Say the Glory Be6. For each of the five decades, announce the Mystery (perhaps followed by a brief reading from Scripture) then say the Our Father.7. While fingering each of the ten beads of the decade, next say ten Hail Marys while meditating on the Mystery. Then say a Glory Be.(After finishing each decade, some say the following prayer requested by the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima: O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell; lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of your mercy.)8. After saying the five decades, say the Hail, Holy Queen, followed by this dialogue and prayer:
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.R. That we may be made worthy of the prom-ises of Christ.Let us pray: O God, whose Only Begotten Son,by his life, Death, and Resurrection,has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life,grant, we beseech thee,that while meditating on these mysteriesof the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary,we may imitate what they containand obtain what they promise,through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
(A prayer to St. Joseph may also follow.) Conclude the Rosary with the Sign of the Cross.
