Alleluia, alleluia.
Your words, O Lord, are Spirit and life;
you have the words of eternal life.
Alleluia.
Gospel: Luke 10:25-37
‘Who is my neighbour?’
At that time: Behold, a lawyer stood up to put Jesus to the test, saying, ‘Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?’ He said to him, ‘What is written in the Law? How do you read it?’ And he answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself.’ And he said to him, ‘You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.’
But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’ Jesus replied, ‘A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, “Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.” Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbour to the man who fell among the robbers?’ He said, ‘The one who showed him mercy.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘You go, and do likewise.’
Lord help us to love you and our neighbour!
Notes from meeting on 8 July :
Picture of a blazing white Host above a hilltop, from the Host are white and red rays then this Host disappears and in its place on the hilltop is Our Lord on His Cross, He is lifeless and the lance is in His Breast, Blood and Water pour forth, then slowly he disappears and in the same way again Our Lord is seen on the hilltop risen and dressed as a shepherd with his Sacred Heart exposed, from within Flames of Love pour out drawing all Nations to Him, He knows each persons name and receives them to Himself holding them close to His Heart.
"My dear little children,
children of my Immaculate Heart, my Heart leads you ever closer to that of my Son Jesus, he is your Shepherd and if you keep your eyes on Him you will not stray on to unknown paths away from all that is good.
Pray my little ones for my priest sons who are living and working in such perilous times. Pray continually that the Holy Spirit will fill them and lead them on the right path and in the Holy Ways of God, thus bringing all my children to Jesus.
Make sacrifice for them and be loving to them for they are the means through which my Son draws all to His burning Love. My Son knows you personally by your name and asks you to draw close to Him and converse with Him, stay with Him and suffer with Him.
I cast my Motherly Mantle over you my beloved.
Mary"
1 John 4 v 19-21
19 Let us love, then, because he first loved us.
20 Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen.
21 Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also love his brother.

Dear brothers and sisters,
I am pleased to be with you here in Castel Gandolfo. I greet the civil and military authorities present and thank all of you for your warm welcome.
Yesterday, in Barcelona, Lycarion May (whose secular name was François Benjamin), a friar of the Institute of the Marist Brothers of the Schools, who was killed in 1909 out of hatred for the faith, was beatified. In hostile circumstances, he lived his educational and pastoral mission with dedication and courage. May the heroic witness of this martyr be an inspiration to all of us, especially those who work for the education of young people.
I greet the participants in the summer course of the Liturgical Academy from Poland, and likewise think of the Polish pilgrims who are taking part in today’s annual pilgrimage to the shrine of Częstochowa.
Today marks the end of the Jubilee pilgrimage of the Diocese of Bergamo. I greet the pilgrims who, together with their Bishop, have come to Rome to pass through the Holy Door.
I greet the pastoral community of Blessed Augustine of Tarano from the Colegio S. Augustin in Chiclayo, Peru, also here in Rome to celebrate the Jubilee. I greet the pilgrims from the parish of San Pedro Apóstol in the Diocese of Alcalá de Henares, who are celebrating the 400th anniversary of the parish’s foundation; the Legionaries of Mary from Uribia-La Guajira, Colombia; the members of the Family of Merciful Love; the Agesci Alcamo 1st Scout Group; and, finally, the Augustinian nuns in formation here present.
We welcome the children’s choir of the Académie Musicale de Liesse, from France. Thank you for your presence and for your commitment to singing and music.
Here with us today are 100 cadets from the Carabinieri course at the Velletri School, named after Venerable Salvo D’Acquisto. I greet the Commander, together with the officers and non-commissioned officers, and encourage you to continue your training in the service of your country and civil society. Thank you! Let us applaud them enthusiastically for their service.
During the summer months, there are many initiatives involving children and young people, and I would like to thank the educators and animators who dedicate themselves to this service. In this context, I wish to mention the important initiative of the Giffoni Film Festival, which brings together young people from all over the world, and whose theme this year is “Becoming Human”.
Brothers and sisters, let us not forget to pray for peace and for all those who, because of violence or war, find themselves in a state of suffering and need.
I wish all of you a happy Sunday!
The Jubilee Prayer
Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in or hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever.
Amen
