SOME CELEBRATIONS FOR JUNE
June 3: St. Charles Lwanga and Companions. Charles and 21 other Ugandan Christians were martyred for Christ in 1886.
June 7: The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. Christ said that He would be with us always. He carries out this promise at every Mass, where bread and wine are changed into His real Body and Blood.
June 12: The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. To put things simply, the entire mission of Jesus Christ is to love us with God’s love.
June 22: Saints John Fisher and Thomas More. During the reign of Henry VIII of England, John Fisher (a bishop) and Thomas More (a high government official) were put to death for affirming that the Church is led by the Pope rather than by the king.
June 24: Birth of St. John the Baptist. John was the last of the prophets. He announced that the Christ was already on Earth and was about to begin His saving work. He tried to get king Herod to leave an unlawful marriage. For this he was beheaded.
“Do not be afraid of Christ! Trust Him completely!
He alone ‘has the words of eternal life’
Christ never lets us down.”
Pope St. John Paul II
