Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ
“It is this disciple who testifies to these things
and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true.”
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 21,20-25.
Peter turned and saw the disciple following whom Jesus loved, the one who had also reclined upon his chest during the supper and had said, “Master, who is the one who will betray you?”
When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?”
Jesus said to him, “What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours? You follow me.”
So the word spread among the brothers that that disciple would not die. But Jesus had not told him that he would not die, just “What if I want him to remain until I come? (What concern is it of yours?)”
It is this disciple who testifies to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true.
There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.

Saint of the day
St. Augustine of Canterbury
BISHOP
(+ 605)
SAINT AUGUSTINE
Bishop and Apostle of England
(+ 605)
Augustine was the prior of the monastery of St. Andrew on the Cœlian Hill, when St. Gregory appointed him leader of the missionaries sent to England. Hearing reports of barbarism and ferocity, Augustine’s companions wished to turn back. St. Gregory replied, “Go on in God’s name. The greater your hardships, the greater your crown. If I cannot share your toil, I shall yet share the harvest, for God knows it is not good will that is wanting.” Obediently, the band pushed forward.
Landing at Ebbsfleet, between Sandwich and Ramsgate, they met King Ethelbert and his thanes under a great oak-tree at Minster and announced the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Instant and complete success attended their preaching. On Whit-Sunday, 596, King Ethelbert was baptized; and his example was followed by the greater number of his nobles and people.
By degrees, the Faith spread far and wide, and Augustine, as Papal Legate, set out on a visitation of Britain. He failed in his attempt to enlist the Britons of the west, but his success was triumphant from south to north.
Bp. Augustine passed away after eight years of evangelical labors. The Anglo-Saxon Church he founded is renowned for its learning, zeal and devotion to the Holy See, while its calendar commemorates no less than three hundred saints, half of whom were of royal birth.

ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things and I desire You in my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart.
As though You were already there,
I embrace You and unite myself wholly to You;
Permit not that I should ever be separated from You. Amen
