We celebrate the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

We joyfully celebrated our feasts, especially the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Basilica, and we thank the Lord for His love, as well as everyone who contributed to the organization, preparation, and the celebration itself… a great sense of community was felt, so may it continue under the protection of the Most Sacred Heart.

Thank you all!

On Saturday, 20 June, it is the day of Fr. Ante Gabrić, our Jesuit missionary in India.

Let us pray for his beatification.

On the occasion of entering the renovated Basilica and the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a new chasuble of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was acquired, featuring the image of Jesus from the altar painting, which is also found on the new parish flag on both sides. The total cost amounted to 3,300 euros, and anyone who wishes to contribute personally and share in both the payment and the graces of God's love may leave their donations in the sacristy or parish office!

On Sunday, 28 June, the summer schedule of Holy Masses, confessions, and parish office duty begins.

I think each of us can relate to the opening scene of today’s Gospel. A moment in which we felt like sheep without a shepherd—exhausted and overwhelmed. And every day we pass and live among people who may feel the same. But what we see are only people, sheep of the flock just like ourselves. Yet Jesus sees something more, something deeper. He sees every wound, worry, and burden, and recognizes the need for action. Because He cares for His flock and wants to save it. The apostles experienced the blessing of the Lord working directly through them among the people, in His flock. He gave them the strength and power to heal the flock. And although they received everything freely, I believe the price of the grace God gives is still priceless. Perhaps we too are called to receive that grace. We do not necessarily have to heal lepers or cast out demons. Perhaps even a small dose of patience, love, and attention is enough for one sheep to feel found again.
