For all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart. In union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. In reparation for all my sins. For the intentions of all our associates, and, in particular, for the intention of our Holy Father for this month. Amen September 16, th Sunday in Ordinary Time By Sue Robb INTRODUCTION Within our Scripture readings today are deep, and at times, controversial questions. Jesus asks his disciples: Who do people say that I am? Then he asks Peter, But who do you say that I am? Like Peter, all Christian faiths today proclaim that Jesus is the Christ, the anointed one. Despite our common proclamation, the second reading often serves as a proof text that separates Catholics from our Protestant brothers and sisters. Does faith alone save or does faith combined with corporal and spiritual works save us? These questions invite us to delve more deeply into the mysteries of God. PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL Trusting that God answers our questions and prayers, let us lift up the needs of our world. We pray for all Christians: for unity and loving acceptance of our theological differences with our Protestant brothers and sisters; for the ability to see and lovingly honor Christian and non-christian beliefs that challenge our own; for an end to religious persecution in all parts of the world we pray, For peace for those who question their faith; for those who do not believe in God; for those who feel God has abandoned them we pray, For an increase in our spiritual and corporal works of mercy to ease the suffering of the poor, the homeless, the hungry, the lonely, the sick, the imprisoned and the dying we pray, For healing and peace for those sick in mind, body and spirit; for first responders, medical professionals and caregivers of the sick and dying, for compassion and patience in difficult times we pray, For all martyrs, known and unknown, who have given their lives for their faith; for those who have sacrificed their lives to save others we pray, For all the prayers and unanswered questions we hold in the silence of our hearts... (pause)... we pray, Prayer: God of all people, let these prayers strengthen us to see others as you see them and to extend your love and mercy to all. This we ask this through Jesus, the Christ. Amen. ***REMINDER*** THE HOLY NAME SOCIETY WILL MEET 9/16/2018 IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING 10:00 MASS Our parish offers Online Giving, a web based electronic contribution application. Check us out at...

5 Pois quem quiser salvar a sua vida, vai perdê-la; mas quem perder a sua vida por causa de mim e do Evangelho, vai salvá-la. XXIV Dom TC (Ano B): Isaías 50,5-9a; Salmo 115(114); Tiago 2,14-18; Marcos 8,27-35 Jesus, enquanto ensina nos povoados de Cesaréia de Filipe, manifesta sua identidade. O povo identifica Jesus com grandes personagens da tradição bíblica: João Batista, Elias, um dos profetas. Pedro, porta-voz dos discípulos, reconhece em Jesus o Messias (= ungido), o enviado de Deus, que realiza as esperanças de libertação, passando pelo sofrimento da cruz para chegar à glória da ressurreição. Os discípulos são orientados a manter silêncio, para evitar falsas interpretações sobre o messianismo de Jesus. Somente à luz da fé pascal, eles compreenderão a plenitude do mistério da revelação de Cristo, que culmina com sua morte e ressurreição. Assim, a identidade de Jesus, como Messias-Cristo, revela-se plenamente a partir do anúncio da Paixão: o Filho do Homem deve sofrer muito, ser rejeitado, morto e ressuscitar (v.31). Os que rejeitam Jesus, como o Messias sofredor, sua paixão, morte e ressurreição, opõem-se ao projeto de Deus. Professar que Jesus é o Cristo significa assumir adesão radical ao Mestre, que se entregou totalmente pela salvação da humanidade. No 3º cântico do Servo (1ª leitura) o Servo acolhe a missão em meio às adversidades. No salmo, Deus ouve e salva o Servo, que suplica em meio às aflições. A fé leva a aceitar a vontade Deus em cada aspecto da vida (2ª leitura). Mostra-me a tua fé sem as obras, que eu te mostrarei a minha fé pelas obras (v.18). Jesus anuncia a esperança na vitória sobre o sofrimento e a morte através da fidelidade ao Pai e seu projeto de salvação. A trajetória e o destino do Mestre continuam na comunidade dos discípulos e discípulas, que vivem com radicalidade o compromisso evangélico. (Extraído da Revista de Liturgia) Oração Ó Deus, criador e senhor do universo, olha para as nossas necessidades. Faze-nos sentir profundamente em nossas vidas a força da tua misericórdia, para que possamos nos dedicar, com todas as forças, ao teu santo serviço e ter para com nossos irmãos e irmãs os mesmos sentimentos que tens para conosco. Por Cristo, nosso Senhor. Amém. Pe. Jonas D.

7 Meet Father Donohoe- I am with you; wherever you are, wherever you go, I am with you. Father Stephen Donohoe embraced a vocation to serve as a priest of the Archdiocese of Boston. As a young man, he felt the first signs of God s presence in the Holy Eucharist; that force would become what he describes today as the bedrock of his priesthood.
