Readings for Sunday July 5: a humble king and the promise of peace
What is read at Mass this Sunday? The passage from Zechariah 9:9-10 describes a just and victorious king who arrives riding on a donkey and abolishes the chariots of war to proclaim peace. Psalm 144 responds: «I will bless your name forever, my God, my king». An image of power without violence that contrasts with the usual political noise.
The homily and digital tradition
Father Santiago Martín, of the Franciscans of Mary, offers the homily. The text also includes the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, recommended at 3:00 pm, and the Apophthegms of the Desert Fathers, compiled by the Jesuit Heribert Rosweyde in the 17th century. A curious blend of ancient spirituality and modern dissemination.
The Holy Rosary at 10:00 pm
The praying of the Holy Rosary at 10:00 pm is announced, a practice that keeps the tradition alive in virtual communities. No great debates here; just the serene repetition of faith.
With these devotionals, the internet remains a collective confessional too. Or else the algorithm simply rewards consistency.
