Fr. Richard Heilman’s homily for Sunday, June 30, 2019, the third Sunday after Pentecost. Father celebrated Holy Mass in the extraordinary form (TLM) at St. Mary of Pine Bluff Catholic Church.

Epistle: 1 Peter 5: 6-11 The devil, like a roaring lion, seeks to devour souls. St. Peter, head of the apostles and of the Church, bids us watch.

Gospel: Luke 15: 1-10  The human race, Jews and Gentiles, fallen into wickedness and sin, is represented by the lost sheep which the divine shepherd bears on His shoulders and by the lost drachma which the Church finds again.
