The Gospel readings at Saturday Masses this August invite us into a deeper encounter with Christ through courage, humility, and faithful stewardship.
We invite you to join us for Mass at 10 AM each Saturday this August at Holy Family Shrine — a time to reflect, to be renewed, and to receive the grace to live out your calling with trust and joy. Whether you’re never been to the Shrine or come every week, you are welcome here.
We begin with the martyrdom of John the Baptist (Mt 14:1–12), a witness to truth even in the face of death. We see Jesus heal a boy tormented by a demon and teach that even mustard-seed-sized faith can move mountains (Mt 17:14–20). He calls us to welcome the littlest among us with open hearts (Mt 19:13–15) and warns against pride, reminding us that true greatness is found in humility and service (Mt 23:1–12). In the Parable of the Talents (Mt 25:14–30), we’re challenged to make good use of the gifts God has entrusted to us, not bury them in fear or complacency.
Each of these readings carries a timely message: speak truth with courage, believe with bold faith, serve with humility, and invest your life generously in the work of God's Kingdom. At the Holy Family Shrine, these Gospel lessons resonate deeply amid the quiet beauty of nature and sacred space.
