It might be Today’s Readings natural to wonder if Jesus, in giving him the keys to the kingdom, didn’t feel a bit like a parent giving a teenager the keys to the family car. But it First Reading: Eliakim is destined was at the moment when God’s power and presence broke through by God to be a father to those who everything else to raise up Peter’s great profession of faith in Christ as live in Jerusalem (Isaiah 22:19-23). Messiah that Jesus chose to establish the bond between the loving, Psalm: Lord, your love is eternal; forgiving mercy of heaven and our vocation to be witnesses of that love, do not forsake the work of your mercy, and forgiveness on earth. hands (Psalm 138). Like any parent, Jesus no doubt foresaw the failings, the irresponsible Second Reading: How deep are the maneuvers or impaired senses, the collisions that the church would be riches and the wisdom and the headed for. But, most importantly, he also saw us at that moment as God knowledge of God! (Romans 11:33- prefers to see us: capable of manifesting great faith, with a willingness to 36). remain at the feet of Christ to understand what it truly means to be Messiah and Christ. As the letter to the Romans points out to us today, we Gospel: Jesus asked the disciples, have not known the mind or the wisdom of God, but God knows us and “Who do you say that I still chooses to manifest the reign of justice, joy, beauty, and peace am?” (Matthew 16:13-20). through us.

Treasures From Our Tradition Readings for the Week Eucharistic Prayer II is a popular choice for Mass since it is both simple in Monday: 1 Thes 1:1-5, 8b-10; Ps structure and short. It is written with a preface, which is the section after 149:1b-6a, 9b; Mt 23:13-22 the dialogue “The Lord be with you . Lift up your hearts . Let us give thanks,” which introduces all the Eucharistic Prayers. The preface states Tuesday: 1 Thes 2:1-8; Ps 139:1-6; the reason for the eucharistic assembly on that occasion, and there are Mk 6:17-29 dozens of them covering almost every imaginable gathering for prayer, Wednesday: 1 Thes 2:9-13; Ps some specific to feasts, others for Masses for the dead or for other needs. 139:7-12ab; Mt 23:27-32 The preface attached to the second Eucharistic Prayer may be dropped in Thursday: 1 Thes 3:7-13; Ps 90:3- favor of a more appropriate choice, especially one of the prefaces for 5a, 12-14, 17; Mt 24:42-51 weekdays. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal says that Eucharistic Prayer II is best suited for weekdays or “special Friday: 1 Thes 4:1-8; Ps 97:1, 2b, 5- circumstances.” In practice, however, it has become the common Sunday 6, 10-12; Mt 25:1-13 prayer because of its brevity and its comfortable familiarity. It also Saturday: 1 Thes 4:9-11; Ps 98:1, 7 includes an optional phrase for adding the name of a deceased person -9; Mt 25:14-30 remembered in the Mass, and therefore is often prayed at funerals. Article 50 of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy specified that the Sunday: Jer 20:7-9; Ps 63:2-6, 8-9; rites are to be simplified and restored “to the vigor they had in the Rom 12:1-2; Mt 16:21-27 tradition of the Fathers.” The rebirth of this ancient Roman prayer is a worthy response to this call.
