Sunday Readings August 30, 2020 Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading 2 Rom 12: 1-2

I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.

READING 1 Jer 20:7-9

You duped me, O LORD, and I let myself be duped; you were too strong for me, and you triumphed. All the day I am an object of laughter; everyone mocks me. Whenever I speak, I must cry out, violence and outrage is my message; the word of the LORD has brought me derision and reproach all the day. I say to myself, I will not mention him, I will speak in his name no more. But then it becomes like fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones; I grow weary holding it in, I cannot endure it.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 63:2,3-4,5-6,8-9

R. (2b) My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. O God, you are my God whom I seek; for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary to see your power and your glory, For your kindness is a greater good than life; my lips shall glorify you. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. Thus will I bless you while I live; lifting up my hands, I will call upon your name. As with the riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied, and with exultant lips my mouth shall praise you. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. You are my help, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy. My soul clings fast to you; your right hand upholds me. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.

GOSPEL Mt 16: 21-27 Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusa-lem and suffer greatly from the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised. Then Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him, “God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you.” He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.” Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life? For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father’s glory, and then he will repay all according to his conduct.”

The Choice of Stewardship - What does it mean to be a good steward? Does it mean to be an active parishioner, or something more? Are we better stewards because we give more in terms of our money and time to our parish, or are we called to do even more than that? The truth is that steward-ship is a way of life. We are not simply called to be active pa-rishioners, but instead be active disciples all the time. In fact, what we learn to do in our parish should serve as preparation for the mission field of the world. What have we really done if we only act like disciples of Jesus Christ while we are assem-bled with others who claim to be the same?

The choice before us is to give of ourselves in all aspects of our day and life. The call of Jesus will come in our everyday lives with our co-workers, family, and friends more often than it will within our parish community. First, if we can’t become good stewards when we are among those who proclaim Jesus as Lord, how will we be able to do so when we are with those who are non-believers? Second, when our muscles of grati-tude, generosity, and graciousness are strengthened within our parish community, we are more able to meet the chal-lenges of this world. However, we do not become good stew-ards by accident. We must always choose to live this way. What will you choose?

LECTURAS DE HOY

Primera lectura — Me sedujiste, Señor, y me dejé se-

ducir por ti (Jeremías 20:7-9).

Salmo — Mi alma está sedienta de ti, Señor, mi Dios (Salmo 63 [62]).

Segunda lectura — No se dejen llevar por las cosas del mundo, más bien transfórmense por la renovación

de su mente (Romanos 12:1-2).

Evangelio — Si quieres seguirme, renuncia a ti mismo,

carga con tu cruz y sígueme (Mateo 16:21-27).

LA CRUZ DE JESÚS La percepción de una cruz cambió dramáticamente

después de la crucifixión de Jesús. Antes de ese suceso, la muerte en una cruz no era tan solo horrible, sino que era degradante. Era un castigo reservado únicamente

para los más horrendos criminales. La palabra “gloria” no habría hallado su lugar en una oración que contuviera la palabra “cruz”. Mas todo esto cambió con Jesús. Con el pasar del tiempo, los creyentes comenzaron a venerar y

a honrar la Cruz. La pintaron, esculpieron, y tallaron imágenes de la misma. Muchos perdieron su vida por

asociarse con ella. Hoy nuestra reverencia y relación con la cruz poco recuerda el desprecio al que originalmente estuvo asociada. Con el curso de los años, es nuestra

percepción de la Cruz la que determina cómo seguimos a Jesús.

PRESENCIA

Cuandoquiera que veas a otro, allí estoy yo. —Dicho rabínico

RASGOS DE UN MAESTRO

Todos los que se dedican a enseñar deben estar dotados de profundo amor, de la máxima paciencia y, sobretodo, de profunda humildad. El Señor los

hallará dignos de ser sus colaboradores en la causa de la verdad.

—San José Calasanz
