PAROCHIAL VICAR Recall that we have been reading from this chapter for the The Reverend Pascal Louis [email protected] past two weeks and will continue to read from it for another two. Last week, the crowd asked for a sign that would show PRIESTS IN RESIDENCE that Jesus came from God. Jesus replied by saying that he The Reverend Monsignor Sean G. Ogle [email protected] is the sign and the bread of life sent by God. At this point, our Lectionary omits six verses in which Jesus predicts the The Reverend Sebastián Sardo unbelief of the crowd and further develops his connection DEACON with God the Father. In these verses, Jesus says that he was Deacon Fausto Duran sent by God to do the Father’s will. Jesus promises that tho- [email protected] se who look upon the Son with faith will find eternal life. DEACON/RCIA DIRECTOR Some of these themes are repeated in today’s Gospel reading. Deacon Manuel H.

  • St. Irenaeus Parish, Park Forest, Illinois August 9, 2020 Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
    St. Irenaeus Parish, Park Forest, Illinois August 9, 2020 Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Renew My Church: Our Own Discipleship We have a mission: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations… Teach them to carry out everything I have commanded you and know that I am with you always, until the end of the world” (Mt 28:19-20). This is the Great Commission that Christ gave His apostles. And He gives us this mission today as something to accomplish together. An important element to achieving our mission is understanding what we’re facing today. In an earlier article, I noted some of the reasons why renewal is needed, not the least of which is a steady decline in faith practices that stretches back decades. There are many issues that people cite as a catalyst for leaving the Church or lapsing in their faith. The pain and suffering of the abuse crisis and failure in leadership amongst some has been reason enough for some to walk away or refrain from (re)entering. There are also the age-old allurements and noon-day devils that cause people to drift away from the faith of their youth. And there are also issues and challenges of a personal nature that only God can see within people’s hearts. But there are also people that leave the Church not because they reject her teachings or doctrines or even because of the scandals – they leave because they want more than what they’re experiencing. In some way, they doubt that Jesus is present within their own parish.

Allowing for irs baroque con volutions, we find the dedication not only a fitting personal tribute 10 the saint but also a worthy appraisal of the blessings that he had brought to the Church of France: " It is most fitting that this instrument so useful to salvation be: placed in the hands of a priest whose charitable actions reconcile not only the hearts of the common people but also of kings, and who, in the role of apostle which he contin uall y carries our personally or through his confreres, extends the kingdom of our sovereign maSter even to places where his glory was, so [0 speak, bu ried and, [0 put it briefly, where the Lord's vineyard was lying fallow and fruitless, for lack of good workers, and who upheld, as it seems fit, the honor of their master. ~ Th anks be [0 God, France is now more Christian than it ever was; darkness and ignorance are givi ng place the re to the beautiful light of salvation and grace.

  • Founder, Order of Preachers (Dominicans)
    “What page, what passage of the inspired books of the Old and New Testaments is not the truest of guides for human life?” ~Saint Benedict, from the Rule of Saint Benedict (73:3) "A person who governs his passions is the master of the world. We must either rule them, or be ruled by them. It is better to be the hammer than the anvil. " --Saint Dominic Monday, August 8 ~ Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time Saint Dominic, Priest; Founder, Order of Preachers (Dominicans) Holy Gospel: Matthew 17:22-27 As Jesus and his disciples were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men, and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day.” And they were overwhelmed with grief. When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the temple tax approached Peter and said, “Does not your teacher pay the temple tax?” “Yes,” he said. When he came into the house, before he had time to speak, Jesus asked him, “What is your opinion, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take tolls or census tax? From their subjects or from foreigners?” When he said, “From foreigners,” Jesus said to him, “Then the subjects are exempt. But that we may not offend them, go to the sea, drop in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. Open its mouth and you will find a coin worth twice the temple tax. Give that to them for me and for you.” Meditation: On three different occasions the Gospels record that Jesus’ prediction that he would endure great suffering through betrayal, rejection, and the punishment of a cruel death.
