SAINT CHARLES LWANGA AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS

It happened that seven brothers with their mother were arrested and tortured with whips and scourges by the king, to force them to eat pork in violation of God's law.
One of the brothers, speaking for the others, said: "What do you expect to achieve by questioning us? We are ready to die rather than transgress the laws of our ancestors."

At the point of death he said: "You accursed fiend, you are depriving us of this present life, but the King of the world will raise us up to live again forever. It is for his laws that we are dying." - 2 Maccabees 7: 1 - 2, 9

TUESDAY OF THE NINTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME

Beloved: Wait for and hasten the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved in flames and the elements melted by fire. But according to his promise we await new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Therefore, beloved, since you await these things, be eager to be found without spot or blemish before him, at peace. And consider the patience of our Lord as salvation.

Therefore, beloved, since you are forewarned, be on your guard not to be led into the error of the unprincipled and to fall from your own stability. But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory now and to the day of eternity. Amen. - 2 Peter 3: 12 - 15, 17 - 18

MEMORIAL OF SAINT JUSTIN, MARTYR

Brothers and sisters: The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the learning of the learned I will set aside.

Where is the wise one? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made the wisdom of the world foolish? For since in the wisdom of God the world did not come to know God through wisdom, it was the will of God through the foolishness of the proclamation to save those who have faith. For Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are called, Jews and Greeks alike, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. - 1 Corinthians 1: 18 - 25

SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3: 16 - 18

SATURDAY OF THE EIGHTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME

Beloved, remember the words spoken beforehand by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. Build yourselves up in your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in the love of God and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. On those who waver, have mercy; save others by snatching them out of the fire; on others have mercy with fear, abhorring even the outer garment stained by the flesh.

To the one who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished and exultant, in the presence of his glory, to the only God, our savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord be glory, majesty, power, and authority from ages past, now, and for ages to come. Amen. - Jude 17, 20 - 23

SURPRISE!!!

**From the Desk of Very Rev. Alonzo Q. Cox, K.C.H.S., Vicar**

We've had to keep it under wraps during development. But the Brooklyn Vicariate Office of Black Catholic Concerns is thrilled to announce the launch of our new series on NET TV, "Truly Black & Catholic."

Through the work of our good friends at DeSales Media Group, "Truly Black & Catholic ( )" will be a television segment dedicated to all things pertinent to our Black Catholic community here in the Diocese of Brooklyn & Queens, as well as important issues facing Black Catholics nationally and globally.

From our "Saintly Seven" Candidates for Canonization, to facing the current challenges to our Civil Rights, whether discussing our countries of origin and ethnic diversity, or re-investigating the importance of our music & culture in Catholic Liturgy, our goal is to provide a safe space and a voice for all that we do as members of the Body of the Church, reaffirming who we are - and *whose* we are - as Disciples of the Risen Lord.

Our first episode airs
*Monday, June 1st, 8:30pm, on NET-TV*

To kick off our series, I will be discussing a Candidate for Sainthood from our own Diocese, Servant of God, Msgr. Bernard John Quinn, a local Priest who, as many of you know, not only defended the rights & human dignity of Black Americans through his actions, but used his influence & resources to build Saint Peter Claver Church, the first documented Parish to minister specifically to Black Catholics in Brooklyn.

Joining me will be Bishop Emeritus Nicholas DiMarzio, who oversaw the campaign to have the Church consider Msgr. Quinn for Sainthood, and who, through the power of prayer, has a personal connection to this wonderful Priest.

You can view NET-TV through the following channels
Verizon Fios: Channel #548
Optimum: Channel #30
Spectrum: Channel #97
Online: http://netny.tv/

Please review the information in the flyer below, and be sure to share it with your friends, family, and Parish community.

We hope all of you will tune in, and join us as we embark on this wonderful new chapter for the Black Vicariate Office. Thank you, as always, for your continued support!
