Tuesday of the Sixteenth week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

Book of Micah

7,14-15.18-20.

]Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, That dwells apart in a woodland, in the midst of Carmel. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old;
]As in the days when you came from the land of Egypt, show us wonderful signs.
]Who is there like you, the God who removes guilt and pardons sin for the remnant of his inheritance; Who does not persist in anger forever, but delights rather in clemency,
]And will again have compassion on us, treading underfoot our guilt? You will cast into the depths of the sea all our sins;
]You will show faithfulness to Jacob, and grace to Abraham, As you have sworn to our fathers from days of old.

Psalm

Psalms

85(84),2-4.5-6.7-8.

]You have favored, O LORD, your land;
you have brought back the captives of Jacob.
]You have forgiven the guilt of your people;
you have covered all their sins.
]You have withdrawn all your wrath;
you have revoked your burning anger.
]Restore us, O God our savior,
And abandon your displeasure against us.
]Will you be ever angry with us,
prolonging your anger to all generations?
]Will you not instead give us life;
and shall not your people rejoice in you?
]Show us, O LORD, your kindness,
and grant us your salvation.  

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

12,46-50.

]While Jesus was speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers appeared outside, wishing to speak with him.
]Someone told him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, asking to speak with you."
]But he said in reply to the one who told him, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?"
]And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers.
]For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, and sister, and mother."

Francis Garces and Companions(Martyrs (c. 1781))

Francis Garcés and CompanionsMartyrs(c. 1781) Saint Francisco Garcés was a contemporary of Blessed Junipero Serra. He was born in Spain in 1738 at a time when European imperialism raised new social questions. Francisco Garces responded to God's invitation by joining the Franciscans. After his ordination in 1763, Fr. Francisco was sent to Mexico. Five years later, he was assigned to San Xavier del Bac near Tucson, one of several missions founded by the Jesuits. He worked among Papago, Yuma, Pima and Apache Nations when the Jesuits were expelled from all Spanish territories in 1767. His missionary travels took him to the Grand Canyon and to California. Francisco Palou, O.F.M. left a written account of Fr. Francisco Garcés: He was greatly loved by the natives. He lived with them and evangelized, sharing the Gospel by praying, working and preaching. They regularly gave him food and referred to him as "Viva Jesus," which was a greeting he taught them. For the sake of indigenous converts, Spanish missionaries wanted to organize settlements away from Spanish soldiers and colonists. However, the commandant in Mexico insisted that two new missions on the Colorado River (Misión San Pedro y San Pablo and Misión La Purísima Concepción) be mixed settlements. Dissagreements resulted in a Yuma revolt, which left Friars Juan Diaz and Matias Moreno dead at Misión San Pedro y San Pablo. Frs. Francisco and Juan Barreneche were killed at Misión La Purísima Concepción (the site of Fort Yuma).
