22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time (A) August 30,2020

Baptism : Arrangements must be made one week in advance.

Today’s Gospel: MT 16:21-27

Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem

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.”

My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.

O God, you are my God whom I

seek.” As St. Augustine recognized,

our hearts are restless until they rest in

the Lord; eliminate that which blocks

your seeking for God

Stewardship Reflection: “What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?” (Matthew 16:26) St. Francis of Assisi once said, “Remember, you are what you are in the eyes of God, and nothing

else.” We often forget this stewardship wisdom when we spend all of our time, talent, and treasure

to gain more of the world’s riches. We need to set our priorities based on God’s values and not the

values of the material world

face-coverings order that now includes children age 5 years and older, and is strongly encouraged for children

Eucharistic Ministers are required to use facial coverings when offering Holy Communion. The archdiocesan communications office has received complaints from parishioners who decided not to re-

ceive Holy Communion because guidelines were not being followed, along with additional complaints regard-

ing concerns for social-distancing and overall regard for protective measures at parishes. Please refer to the

guidelines on https://www.archstl.org/coronavirus to ensure you and your staffs are adhering to all the guide-
