TODAY’S HOMILY:http://www.associationofcatholicpriests.ie/2017/08/27-august-21st-sunday-in-ordinary-time/In today’s gospel, Our Lord asks the question: “Who do you say that I am?’ although Peter’s credo is a solid basis from which to begin. Notice the phrase “Son of the Living God,” expressing more richly what “Christ” means. Peter’s worshipful faith comes to him as a gift from above, not from his own ability.Why was the blessing given to him in particular? Perhaps because his humble, contrite spirit made him best prepared to receive it? Or because God chooses whom He wills, irrespective of their merits? It is to this Peter that Jesus entrusts whatever is meant by the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Upon his solid, dedicated faith the Church will always rely, for unity and encouragement. Keys are mainly for opening; many doors lock by themselves. We could reflect

further on Peter’s task, as seen in other Gospel passages (Mat. 14:28ff; 17:24ff; Lk. 2: 14ff; 3:1 2ff).
fundamentally the same story, but with significant adjustments. Jesus goes to Tyre and Sidon, this time with his disciples. He does not go indoors and is not afraid to be recognized. We are told immediately that the woman is a Canaanite. Matthew supplies the woman’s words, which are rich in meaning (“Lord”, “son of David”). Jesus ignores her. The disciples intervene, but only to confirm Jesus’ apparent rebuff. V. 24 is special to Matthew. Eventually, the woman changes her tone and posture, begging for help (“Lord”). Jesus’ reply is shorter, perhaps in the light of v.24. The woman agrees with what Jesus has said and only then goes on, in the same parabolic vein, to make her request. Her faith is explicitly acknowledged and the cure is proclaimed. The confirmation is reported is as few words as possible. Both accounts are strange. Jesus seems to make this journey for no purpose, has a chance encounter and returns. In Mark, there is indoor / outdoor symbolism, suggesting insiders / outsiders. Matthew makes the purpose and problem very clear in v.24. In both accounts, a foreign woman causes Jesus to open his preaching to
non-Israelites. The story is never resumed. The comments below will bring out further details.
OLD TESTAMENT BACKGROUND: In the Old Testament, Elijah cures children and outsiders. The Moses background to Jesus’ ministry has just been underlined in the feeding of the 5,000 (aimed at Jews). The next story following is the feeding of the 4,000 (aimed at Gentiles). The Elijah precedent gives biblical authority to opening the preaching of the Kingdom to Gentiles.
NEW TESTAMENT FOREGROUND:This story closely resembles the cure of the centurion’s son in 8:5-13. Matthew’s adjustments to that story portray Jesus discovering faith outside Judaism and responding positively, as here. The purpose of both stories is the same, that is, to permit the post-Resurrection inclusion of the Gentiles.
Prayer:We believe and we know, O God, that you love the human race, without making any distinction of persons or rank. Inspire us to see you in everyone we meet,
for all are your children and you are the father of us all.
FRANKLIN COOPERATIVE MINISTRIES:We will continue to collect food items and household items for Franklin Cooperative Ministries on the second Sunday of each month. Please leave these items under the table in the commons.
LIVING OUR MISSION FUNDS : St. Jude received $6,096 and the Shrine received $3,813 from last year’s collections of Living Our Mission.St. Jude is holding this for repairs to the stained glass windows, and the Shrine will need to reconsider as it was originally earmarked as a payment toward a social hall.
HAITI CORNER: FOR ALL WHO CONTRIBUTE TO HAITI AND THOSE WHO DON’TAfter mass on February 26, in preparation for Lent, there will be a free soup and bread luncheon to discuss progress in Haiti. Paul Fletcher, Chairman of the Haiti Committee at St. Mary’s, will be here to give an update
and answer questions anyone may have. Supporting Haiti could be a Lenten project for the family.

Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices, are allowed.Abstinence is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On days of abstinence no meat is allowed. Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does no oblige.
