God’s kindness is a greater good than life itself, as we sing in today’s Psalm.
For your lifeBy Scott Hahn
Today’s First Reading catches the prophet Jeremiah in a moment of weakness. His intimate lamentation contains some of the
strongest language of doubt found in the Bible. Following God’s call, he feels abandoned. Preaching His Word has brought him only
derision and reproach.
But God does not deceive — and Jeremiah knows this. God tests the just (see Jeremiah 20:11–12) and disciplines His children
through their sufferings and trials (see Hebrews 12:5–7).
What Jeremiah learns, Jesus states explicitly in today’s Gospel. To follow Him is to take up a cross, to deny yourself — your priorities,
preferences, and comforts. It is to be willing to give it all up, even life itself, for the sake of His gospel. As Paul says in today’s Epistle,
we have to join ourselves to the passion of Christ, to offer our bodies — our whole beings — as living sacrifices to God.
By His Cross, Jesus has shown us what Israel’s sacrifices of animals were meant to teach: we owe to God all that we have.
God’s kindness is a greater good than life itself, as we sing in today’s Psalm. The only thanks we can offer is our spiritual worship —
to give our lives to the service of His will (see Hebrews 10:3–11; Psalm 50:14, 23).
Peter doesn’t yet get this in today’s Gospel. As it was for Jeremiah, the cross is a stumbling block for Peter (see 1 Corinthians 1:23).
This, too, is our natural temptation — to refuse to believe that our sufferings play a necessary part in God’s plan.
That’s how people think, Jesus tells us today. But we are called to the renewal of our minds — to think as God thinks, to will what He
wills.
In the Mass, we once again offer ourselves as perfect and pleasing sacrifices of praise (see Hebrews 13:15). We bless Him as we live,
confident that we will find our lives in losing them, that with the riches of His banquet, our souls will be satisfied.
Act of Spiritual Communion Prayer
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from
You.
Amen.

HOW TO PRAY THE ROSARYFamiliarize yourself and/or your group with the prayers
of the rosary.
1. Make the Sign of the Cross.
2. Holding the Crucifix, say the Apostles’ Creed.
3. On the first bead, say an Our Father.
4. Say one Hail Mary on each of the next three beads.
5. Say the Glory Be
6. For each of the five decades, announce the Mystery
(perhaps followed by a brief reading from Scripture)
then say the Our Father.
7. While fingering each of the ten beads of the decade,
next say ten Hail Marys while meditating on the Mystery.
Then say a Glory Be.
(After finishing each decade, some say the following
prayer requested by the Blessed Virgin Mary at
Fatima: O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the
fires of hell; lead all souls to Heaven, especially
those who have most need of your mercy.)
8. After saying the five decades, say the Hail, Holy
Queen, followed by this dialogue and prayer:
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.R. That we may be made worthy of the prom-ises of Christ.Let us pray: O God, whose Only Begotten Son,by his life, Death, and Resurrection,has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life,grant, we beseech thee,that while meditating on these mysteriesof the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary,we may imitate what they containand obtain what they promise,through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
(A prayer to St. Joseph may also follow.)
Conclude the Rosary with the Sign of the Cross.

Our priests are often at the center of efforts that build
strong support systems for all of us. In addition to
their daily pastoral responsibilities, they help establish
social service organizations, offer spiritual support for first
responders, operate parish food pantries, and recently, in
response to the pandemic, put their lives at risk to provide
comfort and peace to those suffering with COVID-19.
Healthier priests build stronger communities. And the
Clergy Health and Retirement Trust (CHRT) is dedicated to
keeping our priests healthy.
This September, you can support the CHRT’s mission
by giving to the special collection at Masses on
September 19/20. Every gift makes a difference and is
a symbol of gratitude for all our priests who don’t just
observe need in our communities; they seek it out so
they can respond.
Donate now online at clergytrust.org or scan the QR code to give with Venmo, Apple/Google Pay, and PayPal via Givebutter.
