Mary treasured in her Immaculate Heart the joys and sorrows that came with being the mother of the Word made flesh.

Memorial of St. Aloysius Gonzaga, Religious
Memorial of St. Aloysius Gonzaga, Religious (371) white Gn 12:1–9 • Ps 33:12–13, 18–19, 20 and 22 • Mt 7:1–5 St. Aloysius Gonzaga, SJ (1568–1591), died at age twenty-three while tending the sick who were dying from an epidemic in Rome. He is patron of young people and individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Destined for wealth, his closeness to God moved him to give his property rights to his younger brother and profess poverty as a Jesuit. He lived the Jesuit motto, To the Greater Glory of God, by living the Golden Rule. He lived the Gospel with integrity and thus chose the narrow path. Whether we are rich or poor, sick or healthy, older or younger, we are destined for closeness to God that is expressed in service and praise.

Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist
Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist (586 and 587) white Vigil: Jer 1:4–10 • 1 Pt 1:8–12 • Ps 71:1–2, 3–4a, 5–6ab, 15ab and 17 • Lk 1:5–17 Day: Is 49:1–6 • Ps 139:1b–3, 13–14ab, 14c–15 • Acts 13:22–26 • Lk 1:57–66, 89 Gloria and the Creed Proper Psalter The celebration of the birth of John the Baptist is one of three birthdays (along with the nativities of Jesus and of the Blessed Virgin Mary) commemorated in the liturgical year. John’s birth is observed during the summer solstice, on the longest day of the year, but immediately afterward the days begin to grow shorter. Jesus’ birthday is celebrated, however, during the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. But gradually and almost imperceptibly the days grow longer. It is no accident that John’s Gospel account speaks about light. John was not the light but came to testify to the light. No wonder John states that he must diminish as Christ, the Light of the World, must increase, just like the phenomena of the solstices.

He hoped that clear teaching would invite his opponents to turn away from falsehood. Since it was a time flooded with political persecution and false teachers, many were martyred, including Irenaeus.

Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, Apostles
Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, Apostles (590 and 591) red Vigil: Acts 3:1–10 • Ps 19:2–3, 4–5 • Gal 1:11–20 • Jn 21:15–19 Day: Acts 12:1–11 • 2 Tm 4:6–8, 17–18 • Ps 34:2–3, 4–5, 6–7, 8–9 • Mt 16:13–19 Proper Psalter In the Piazza San Pietro in Rome, statues of Sts. Peter and Paul flank the square, symbolizing the complementary nature of these saints’ lives and mission. Paul symbolizes the person who comes to faith through a dramatic conversion, falling to the ground on his way to Damascus to persecute Christians. Peter is the person who comes to faith slowly and steadily, sometimes with two steps forward and one backward. He is the one who denies the Lord three times, then confesses his faith thrice. Regarding their complementary missions, Peter is the Apostle of the Jewish Christians, while Paul is the Apostle to the Gentile Christians. Today we celebrate their complementarity and pay homage to both saints.
