Welcome to St. Luke’s at Immaculate Conception. We are delighted to have you with us.

heritage and traditions, including liturgical traditions.

This Morning, We will be Baptizing Linus Bodam Tooze, son of Colin and Karin Tooze. Please join us for coffee hour after the Mass to welcome Linus and to congratulate Colin and Karin on this wonderful addition to their family. Ordination of Matthew Whitehead As every reader of The Epistle knows, this Thursday evening in Houston our own Matt Whitehead will be ordained to the priesthood. Fr. Vidal and Deacon Arbeen will be present on our behalf to witness this exciting event. We ask all the parish to offer their prayers this week for Matt [and his whole family] as he gives himself to the Lord’s service in this most blessed manner. Matt will be our celebrant for Mass on June 10th. Be sure to be present that day to congratulate him and to receive a First Blessing from his newly-consecrated hands. And if you haven’t read The Epistle, but want to, visit our website stlukesordinariate.com and click on News>Newsletters. May Corporal Work of Mercy: Infant Formula What could be a better way during this month of May to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of our Lord, than by donating baby formula to help a young mother in need? If you can contribute, the Northwest Center’s Maternity Home is in need of Similac, Similac Advance, and Similac Sensitive. Bring your baby formula to Mass or coffee hour.

FRIDAY, JUNE 1ST Justin, Martyr Saturday, June 2nd Marcellinus and Peter, Martyrs Know Your Faith Marcellinus and Peter were Roman martyrs who died in the year 304, during the Diocletianic Persecution. Very little is known about their lives except that Marcellinus was a priest and Peter an exorcist. Pope Damasus I [whose account account is the oldest source on them] heard the story of these two martyrs from their executioner who became a Christian after their deaths. Damasus states that they were killed at an out-of-the-way spot by the magistrate Severus or Serenus, so that other Christians would not have a chance to bury and venerate their bodies. The two saints happily cleared the spot chosen for their death: a thicket overgrown with thorns, brambles, and briers three miles from Rome. They were beheaded and buried in that spot. Two women, Lucilla and Firmina, assisted by divine revelation, found the bodies, however, and had them properly buried near the body of St. Tiburtius on the Via Labicana in what became known as the Catacombs of Marcellinus and Peter. Around the 6th century, a passio connected the martyrdom of Marcellinus and Peter with that of the jailer Artemius, who was converted to Christianity by Marcellinus. Artemius’ wife Secunda (or Candida) and daughter Paulina were also converted. Artemius was beheaded; Secunda and Paulina were buried alive under a pile of stones. The passio states that they were killed at the 12th milestone on the Via Aurelia in a place called Silva Candida ("Whitewood", also called Silva Nigra, "Blackwood", or at Lorium). Their executioner, Dorotheus, was said to have been converted by Pope Julius I.

sit First Reading Exodus 34: 4b-6, 8-9 In those days: Moses rose early in the morning and went up on Mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand two tables of stone. And the LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. The LORD passed before him, and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.” And Moses made haste to bow his head toward the earth, and worshipped. And he said, “If now I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go in the midst of us, although it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thy inheritance.”

stand Gospel John 3: 16-18 God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

The Visitation by Jakob and/or Hans Strub

“All sorts of people are fond of repeating the Christian statement that ‘God is love.’ But they seem not to notice that the words 'God is love' have no real meaning unless God contains at least two persons. Love is something that one person has for another person. If God was a single person, then before the world was made, He was not love.” —C. S. Lewis
