Today's Gospel
Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18

Jesus said to his disciples:
"Take care not to perform righteous deeds
in order that people may see them;
otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father.
When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you,
as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets
to win the praise of others.
Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
But when you give alms,
do not let your left hand know what your right is doing,
so that your almsgiving may be secret.
And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

"When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites,
who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners
so that others may see them.
Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door,
and pray to your Father in secret.
And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

"When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites.
They neglect their appearance,
so that they may appear to others to be fasting.
Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
so that you may not appear to others to be fasting,
except to your Father who is hidden.
And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you."

For all those on campus this summer, we will have two prayer opportunities each week.

Prayer: Tuesdays at 10:00 AM in Sacred Heart Chapel
We read scripture, reflect, pray for people, and more.

Rosary: Thursdays at 1:00 PM in Sacred Heart Chapel
If you don't know how to pray the rosary, we will teach you.
If you don't have a rosary, I have one for you!

Both types of prayer take less than 30 minutes each. Everyone is welcome. Hope to see you there!

A Prayer for Pride Month

Lord God, our Maker,
May we always appreciate the dignity of each person:
Straight, gay, le***an, bisexual, transgender.
May we witness your extravagant artistry of each beloved,
Celebrate your Divine imprint upon each heart,
And recognize how You fashion each human being with purpose and wonder.
Your limitless love creates us all.
Amen.
