THE Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time - 18th June 2023
My Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We have been reconciled to God and to each other through the death of our Lord Jesus Christ, and we have been called to be members of God’s own people. A wonderful gift and a wonderful privilege and blessing. From our Sunday Mass, and from all the Masses we attend, we are strengthened in holiness from the grace we receive, to go out as witnesses to this same loving and redeeming Lord.
