Readings for the Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time First Reading IS 22:19-23 Thus says the LORD to Shebna, master of the palace: “I will thrust you from your office and pull you down from your station. On that day I will summon my servant Eliakim, son of Hilkiah; I will clothe him with your robe, and gird him with your sash, and give over to him your authority. He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. I will place the key of the House of David on Eliaki-m’s shoulder; when he opens, no one shall shut when he shuts, no one shall open. I will fix him like a peg in a sure spot, to be a place of honor for his family.” Second Reading ROM 11:33-36 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and how un-searchable his ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been his counselor? Or who has given the Lord anything that he may be repaid? For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. Gospel MT 16:13-20 Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi and he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Then he strictly ordered his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

August 22 & 23 Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time

Upon the simple, yet profound, faith of Peter, God will do great things.

Who do people say that the Son of Man is? This is the question that Jesus asks of his disciples. They reply that some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, or Jeremiah, or a prophet. Jesus takes the question further: But who do you say that I am?

It is Simon Peter who speaks up. He speaks with con-fidence. He doesn’t begin by saying, “Well, I think” or “I sus-pect,” or “In my opinion,” rather, he asserts, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And Jesus replies, Blessed are you … for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. God gave Simon Peter the special grace of recognizing Jesus, and now Jesus goes on to acknowledge Simon Peter in a public way. Jesus says, Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah … And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church. Jesus gives Simon a new name: Peter, which means “Rock.” Upon this rock he will build his Church. Upon the simple, yet profound, faith of Peter, God will do great things.

The question for the disciples is a question for all of us: Who do we say that Jesus is?

With God’s grace, we will acknowledge him. With God’s help, we will recognize Jesus. We will take time each day to say hello to him. With God’s grace we will be confi-dent in our recognition. We will not say, “Well, I think,” or “In my opinion.” Rather, with God’s grace, we will say, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And in so saying, we will trust him. And through our own, simple faith, God will be able to do great things.

Prayer to Make An Act of Spiritual

Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

We are in phase two of opening. We limit attendance to 50% of each church’s occupancy capacity with adequate social distancing, and numerous safeguards in place. Our daily Masses are livestreamed from Holy Family due to logistics. Our weekend Masses will be held in each of our worship sites at the usual Mass times with the 10:15 am Mass being livestreamed on our Facebook page. *Please do not attend if you have any signs of Covid-19, or sick, or any signs of a respiratory infection. *People over 65 are strongly advised that they exercise pru-dence and do not attend Mass, especially given the current dispensation from the Sunday Obligation. We encourage you to stay home and participate through livestreaming or tele-vised Masses. Let’s keep each other safe.

~Bishop Hying on Twitter: “We know that Christ gains the victory in the end; we have read the Book of Revelation. In this time of intense darkness and profound suffering, the choice is crystal clear: hope or despair, love or hate, faith or nihilism, life or death. We must be vigilant servants.”

~ Dynamic Catholic “If we pray faithfully every day...a bond and an intimacy will be growing under the sur-face: a deep, growing bond with our God.”

Evangelization Prayer: Jesus, you called and chose Peter, with his strengths and his weaknesses, to be the rock on which your Church was built. You call and choose me, with my unique strengths and weaknesses, to build your kingdom in the world I live in today. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and help me to speak boldly as Peter did, proclaiming your Good News to the world. Amen.

~Pope Francis “Wealth can force us to build walls. Jesus, instead, invites His disciples to transform goods and riches into relation-ships, because people are worth more than things, they are more valuable than any riches we possess.”

We are grateful for all the generous contributions you have been mailing into the office and for those sent contributions through the Diocese EFT.
