Sunday Readings August 23, 2020
Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time
Reading 1 Is 22:19–23 Thus says the L to Shebna, master of the pal-ace: “I will thrust you from your office and pull you down from your station. On that day I will summon my servant Eliakim, son of Hilkiah; I will clothe him with your robe, and gird him with your sash, and give over to him your authority. He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. I will place the key of the House of David on Eliaki-m’s shoulder; when he opens, no one shall shut when he shuts, no one shall open. I will fix him like a peg in a sure spot, to be a place of honor for his family.” Responsorial Psalm Ps 138:1–2, 2–3, 6, 8 R. (8bc) Lord, your love is eternal; do not for-sake the work of your hands. I will give thanks to you, O L , with all my heart, for you have heard the words of my mouth; in the presence of the angels I will sing your praise; I will worship at your holy temple. R. Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands.
I will give thanks to your name, because of your kindness and your truth: When I called, you answered me; you built up strength within me. R. Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands. The L is exalted, yet the lowly he sees, and the proud he knows from afar. Your kindness, O L , endures forever; forsake not the work of your hands. R. Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands. Reading 2 Rom 11:33–36 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judg-ments and how unsearchable his ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been his counselor? Or who has given the Lord anything that he may be repaid? For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. Gospel Mt 16:13–20 Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Phi-lippi and he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jere-miah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the nether-world shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Then he strictly ordered his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

Word of Life August 23rd
“God’s love—individual, real, unchanging—is the true source of our worth, identity, and dignity. It really is not a question of who we are, but rather whose we are. Because his love will never change, nothing can reduce our God-given dignity, and nothing can diminish the immeasurable worth of our lives.” - USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, “How to Build a Culture of Life”

Saint of the Week
SAINT MONICA (332-387) August 27
She had smiles for the neighbors, though her hus-band found her religion and the charity it inspired annoy-ing. She made tearful pray-ers in private for a son, out-
wardly self-assured but, as his mother knew, inward-ly restless, and whose girlfriend of a dozen years had borne his child out of wedlock. Though not the first or last such mother and son, Monica and Au-gustine are the Church’s most famous, so we keep their feast days back to back, with Monica’s, fittingly, first. To Rome she followed Augustine, then to Mi-lan, where years of prayer—and nagging—finally bore fruit in his conversion by Saint Ambrose. For six months, mother and son enjoyed the blessing of rediscovering each other. Just in time! On the way home to North Africa, Monica took sick and died near Rome. No child who has mourned a parent can read, unmoved, Augustine’s tender account, in his Confessions, of Monica’s last days. At this time of the year, when parents watch apprehensively as children leave for school, may Monica’s persever-ance and Augustine’s long-prayed-for conversion ease anxiety and kindle hope. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.
