June 4 Gospel: the letter to Timothy that speaks of perseverance

Thursday's reading, taken from St Paul's second letter to Timothy (2, 8-15), is the focus of the Church's daily message: «There is no greater commandment than these». The Pauline text, written in captivity, stresses faithfulness to the risen Christ and hope in salvation even amid suffering. «If we die with him, we shall also live with him; if we persevere, we shall also reign with him», the passage reads.

The homily was given by Father Santiago Martín, of the Franciscans of Mary, and was released in video format. In addition, the Catholic community keeps up the praying of the Holy Rosary at 22:00, and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy at 15:00, the hour of mercy. The faithful share links to live adoration at 18:00 and Holy Mass at 20:00, according to summer time.

The tradition of sharing the daily gospel and prayers online has become established as a practice of cyber-Catholicism, where thousands of people access religious content through digital platforms.
