that are presently discerning your call, those in vocational formation
and those preparing them. We pray that you bless our diocese
with more priests and deacons, and religious congregations
with new members. Mary our Mother and patroness intercede
for us that our pastoral Needs may be fulfilled through Him who
is Lord for ever and ever.

FIRST READING
A reading from the Book of the Prophet Zechariah (9:9-10)
(See, your king comes to you humbly)
Thus says the Lord: Rejoice heartily, O daughter Zion, shout for joy, O
daughter Jerusalem! See, your king shall come to you; a just savior is
he, meek, and riding on an ass, on a colt, the foal of an ass. He shall
banish the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; the
warrior’s bow shall be banished, and he shall proclaim peace to the
nations. His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to
the ends of the earth.
—The Word of the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM (145:1-2, 8-9, 10-11, 13-14)
R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God (cf. 1)
I will extol you, O my God and
King, and I will bless your name
forever and ever. Every day will
I bless you, and I will praise your
name forever and ever. (R)
The Lord is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and of great
kindness. The Lord is good to all
and compassionate toward all
his works. (R)
Let all your works give you
thanks, O Lord,and let your
faithful ones bless you.
Let them discourse of the glory
of your kingdom and speak of
your might. (R)
The Lord is faithful in all his
words and holy in all his works.
The Lord lifts up all who are
falling and raises up all who are
bowed down. (R)
SECOND READING
A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans (8:9, 11-13)
(If by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live)
Brothers and sisters: You are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in
the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have
the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. If the Spirit of the one who
raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ
from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit
that dwells in you. Consequently, brothers and sisters, we are not debtors
to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to
the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of
the body, you will live.
—The Word of the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew (11:25-30)
(I am meek and humble heart)
At that time Jesus exclaimed: “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven
and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise
and the learned you have revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, such
has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me
by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one
knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes
to reveal him.”
“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you
rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and
humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is
easy, and my burden light.”
—The Gospel of the Lord.
R. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

The Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born
of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God
from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven, (bow your head) and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. (lift your head)
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death
and was buried, and rose againon the third day in accordance with the
Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand
of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the
dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from
the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored
and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism
for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of
the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen

Saint of the Week
St. Benedict
(480 – 547)
Benedict of Nursia was a monk and abbot who lived in the 5th and
6th century AD. He founded several monasteries and wrote a rule
for monasteries which became fundamental for Western Monasticism.
The Catholic Church venerates him as Patron of Europe.
The principal source for Benedict’s life are the Four Books of
Dialogues which Pope Gregory the Great wrote in 593/594 AD.
Book Two is entirely devoted to Benedict, showing his personal
spiritual journey and portraying him as a great ascetic, a prophetic leader of monks and founder of monasteries, as author of a rule and miracle-worker.
The text stands in a tradition of hagiographic writings and is more interested in spiritual facts than in in biographical detail. A special emphasis is placed
on scenes which echo those of great biblical figures, especially of the prophets ElijaH and Elisha, Who We heard about in last week’s first reading.
The general outline of Benedict’s life as given by Pope Gregory has later been enhanced with details taken from local traditions and with educated guesses on
dates which have become part of an accepted traditional chronology: Benedict and his twin sister Scholastica were born into a Christian noble family in Nursia
(modern day Norcia), in 480 AD. Benedict went to Rome for his studies. He grew weary of life in Rome, having found his companions’ lives dissolute and immoral,
and his teachers unchristian and corrupt. This led him to abandon his studies in Rome to pursue a spiritual life. He left the city with his faithful family nurse
Cirilla accompanying him as far as Enfide (modern Affile). Benedict spent time living as a hermit, in spiritual isolation in a cave later identified as the Sacro
Speco at Subiaco. The monks of a nearby monastery asked Benedict, who was by then a well known holy man, to become their new abbot. His insistence on proper
monastic discipline, however, brought him into conflict with the community who attempted to poison him. Benedict miraculously escaped harm and returned
to his cave. Later he established 12 monasteries near Subiaco and resided in the 13th as abbot. Around the year 529 AD he left Subiaco with his most devoted
disciples for Cassino and founded a monastery in the ancient pagan acropolis on the hill overlooking the town. Here he wrote the supremely influential Rule
of Monasteries and served as the new monastery’s first abbot until his death on a 21st March, traditionally thought to have been in 547. He was followed soon
afterwards by his sister Scholastica who, unusually, was buried in the same tomb.
Pope Gregory’s Dialogues made Benedict one of the most popular saints of the Italian peninsula. Thousands of monasteries which eventually came to follow his
Rule also spread the veneration of this saint.
According to a well attested tradition, the relics of St Benedict were transferred to the monastery of Fleury (France) in 672. This transfer is liturgically
celebrated on the 11th of July. The transfer of the relics is disputed at Montecassino however, where, after the bombardment of the monastery during World
War II, the joint tomb of Benedict and his sister was uncovered, apparently confirming the account of their burials by Pope Gregory.
In 1947 Pope Pius XII recognized St
Benedict as the “Father of Europe.” In
1964 Pope Paul VI declared him “Patron
of Europe.” Pope John Paul II enlarged
the group of Patrons of Europe, adding
Cyril and Methodius in 1980, and
Catherine of Siena, Bridget of Sweden
and Edith Stein in 2000.
The feast of St Benedict is now generally
held on July 11, but Benedictine monasteries
also maintain a celebration on March 21.
From The Order of St. Benedict
Mount Saviour Monastery (left) and Abbey of the Genesee are each Benedictine monasteries in the
Diocese of Rochester, but within two hours of North Syracuse. Mount Saviour is just outside Elmira
and the Abbey is a bit north of Geneseo.
