21st Sunday in Ordinary Time/August 23, 2020

First Reading:

“I will place the key of the House of David on Eliakim’s shoulder; when he opens, no one shall shut when he shuts, no one shall open.” (Is 22:22) Psalm:

Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands. (Ps 138) Second Reading:

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and how unsearchable his ways! (Rom 11:33) During my last year at St. John Vianney Seminary, I was blessed to be Gospel: able to study abroad in for a semester. It was here that I first “And so I say to you, you are Peter, experienced the universality of the Church in a very real and person- and upon this rock I will build my church, al way. There were 12 of us from the seminary and we stayed at the and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.” (Mt Pontifical Irish College in Rome. Of the 12 who went with I got along 16:18) well with three of the guys. One of the three had some appendix/ stomach issues and had to be flown back to the states less than a ©LPi week of arriving. The other two were good friends with the other guys

WEEKLY READINGS AND OBSERVANCES in the group. Which left me seemingly alone. Don’t get me wrong they are all good guys, but we were not close and just didn’t click. I Readings for the week of August 23, 2020 remember one moment of this intense loneliness. We were in Mu- Sunday: Is 22:19-23/Ps 138:1-2, 2-3, 6, 8 [8bc]/Rom 11:33-36/Mt nich as a group for our pre-semester travels as a group. I was left out 16:13-20 of something because we didn’t have enough space for our group, so Monday: Rv 21:9b-14/Ps 145:10-11, 12-13, 17-18 [12]/Jn 1:45-51 I was the odd man out. After that I went into a church and told Jesus Tuesday: 2 Thes 2:1-3a, 14-17/Ps 96:10, 11-12, 13 [13b]/Mt how lonely and rejected, this experience had left me. After we had 23:23-26 completed our pre-semester travels, we returned to Rome and began Wednesday: 2 Thes 3:6-10, 16-18/Ps 128:1-2, 4-5 [1]/Mt 23:27-32 Thursday: 1 Cor 1:1-9/Ps 145:2-3, 4-5, 6-7 [1]/Mt 24:42-51 our classes while living at the Pontifical Irish College. That is where I Friday: 1 Cor 1:17-25/Ps 33:1-2, 4-5, 10-11 [5]/Mt 25:1-13 met the Irish seminarians that would become my good friends even Saturday: 1 Cor 1:26-31/Ps 71:1-2, 3-4a, 5-6ab, 15ab and 17 [cf. to this day. They were super welcoming, and I knew that God had 15ab]/Mk 6:17-29 answered my prayers.

I was no longer alone. To name a few of the bless-

ings, I learned how to play goalie for the college’s soccer team where Observances for the week of August 23, 2020 we won the (/Martyr) Fr. Ragheed Ganni Cup (you

Wow! Think about that. There are people on the other side of the world who are striving for holiness and oneness with Jesus Christ. If we belong universally to the church, how much more should we belong to Jesus in our parish? I invite you to reflect ON THE LIGHTER SIDE upon the different ways in where God has blessed you with this be- longing, and how can you be an instrument of unity in God’s Church. May God bless you abundantly.

In Christ our hope, Toma
