WEEKLY PRAYER

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time Baptisms

We reflect upon the voice of the prophet in this Sunday s readings. We hear of the suffering and the rescue of Kellen Parker Brower Jeremiah. We hear how Jesus anticipates his suffering and Theodora Christelle Tonda Wambi death. As with Jeremiah and Jesus, the prophets were sent by Collins Kantor God to the leaders and people of Israel. A prophet is one who Maximilian Michael Kline speaks truth to the powerful, exposing their darker hidden Hilton Munson motives and injustices. The prophet presents a way forward Allison Elizabeth Kruse that aligns with God s purposes. A prophet can force people Benjamin Winston Hanks away from a comfortable neutrality or indifference. The prophet creates an urgency to make a choice: Are we content with the status quo, or are we to change our ways and pursue Together for Life a new and better path? Today, we may also ask, how do we identify and respond to prophets of our time? How might we provide a prophetic voice in our Church and in our world? Lauren Stein and Joshua Steffensmeier

KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS The author of the Letter to the Hebrews places Jesus at the Banns of Matrimony center of faith. The author uses the Greek word archegos, translated as leader. This rich word includes various Jenna Bruegger and Zachery Castilleja meanings: pioneer, instigator, and captain. Jesus blazed the trail, showing us how to run the long-distance race of faith-- with steadfastness and courage. To a community experiencing persecutions and discouragement, Jesus is From Death to New Life known as the exemplar of faithful endurance. In keeping our eyes on Jesus, we confront what often is the most persistent obstacle to our faith--discouragement. Our David Stewart, Stepfather of Denise Gartner faith-filled focus on Jesus enables us to see reality as filled Mary White, Mother of Brian with the presence of God. God is neither distant nor Robert Stockman, Father of Barbara Schulte indifferent; God is close and passionately loves us. Discouragement results in part from seeing mostly sin and darkness in our world and in ourselves. Jesus, God and August 19 - 25 human, reminds us of the divine activity within us and among us.
