1 SAINT ANTHONY CATHOLIC CHURCH 971 O Hara Avenue, Oakley, CA Rectory Office/Oficina Parroquial (925) Fax: (925) Monday-Thursday (Lunes-Jueves) 9AM 5:30PM Friday (Viernes) 12PM 7:30PM September 16, 2018 Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time LISTENING AND RESPONDING The Suffering Servant of Isaiah undergoes much distress and ridicule, but is able to bear it because he has listened to the promptings of God day after day. The psalm tells us that God listens, too. God hears our prayers for help and is always ready to save us. As our faith deepens, so does our desire to do the works of justice and charity that build up the reign of God. God directs our actions in ways we often cannot see, and we don t always see the results. We are called upon in faith to trust that what we do is enough, and that willingness to listen to God s promptings will lead us in the right way. TODAY S READINGS First Reading The Lord God is my help; who will prove me wrong? (Isaiah 50:5-9a). Psalm I will walk before the Lord, in the land of the living (Psalm 116). Second Reading Faith, if it does not have works, is dead (James 2:14-18). Gospel Jesus asked his disciples, Who do you say that I am? (Mark 8:27-35).

Welcome / Bienvenidos 16 de septiembre de 2018 ESCUCHANDO Y RESPONDIENDO En las lecturas de hoy se entrecruzan tres temas: escuchar a Dios, la fe vs. las buenas obras y perder nuestra vida para poder salvarla. De qué manera están relacionados estos temas? En Isaías, el Siervo Sufriente padece muchos disgustos y burlas, pero puede soportarlos porque ha escuchado los mensajes de Dios día tras día. El salmo nos dice que Dios también escucha. Dios escucha nuestras súplicas y siempre está dispuesto a salvarnos. Cuando nuestra fe se profundiza, también se profundiza nuestro deseo de hacer obras de justicia y caridad que fortalecen el Reino de Dios. Dios guía nuestras acciones de maneras que muchas veces no podemos ver y no siempre vemos los resultados. Se nos llama en fe a confiar en que lo que hacemos es suficiente y que nuestra disposición a escuchar los mensajes de Dios nos guiará por el camino correcto. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura En la tribulación el Señor Yavé me ha abierto los oídos para que yo escuche. (Isaías 50:5-9a). Salmo Caminaré en presencia del Señor, en el país de la vida (Salmo 116 [115]). Segunda lectura Demuestra tu fe por las buenas obras que produces (Santiago 2:14-18). Evangelio Después que Pedro profesó que Jesús es el Mesías, Jesús lo reprendió por tratar equivocadamente de apartar a Jesús de su misión. (Marcos 8:27-35). PASTORAL STAFF Fr.

3 Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time Often when we read the Prophets or the Psalms, we place ourselves in the first person narrative. It is easy to pray a psalm that speaks to something we ourselves are suffering or experiencing. But today s prophecy from Isaiah cannot mean anything but a prophecy of Jesus and his suffering. The Psalm as well could apply to our suffering, but applies better as a prophecy of Jesus suffering and death. HE SPOKE THIS OPENLY Just as Isaiah prophesies the suffering of Jesus in rather specific terms I gave my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who plucked my beard; my face I did not shield from buffets and spitting Jesus, in speaking to his disciples, clearly reveals to them that he will suffer and die, which bewilders and shocks them. The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and rise after three days. He spoke this openly. They don t know what to do with this information, and they can t envision their beloved Lord suffering and dying in this way. YOU ARE THE CHRIST Jesus asks the disciples who the people say he is. Some say, John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others one of the prophets. This odd answer shows that the disciples were beginning to form a rudimentary understanding that it was possible to rise from the dead. So it is puzzling that when Jesus says that he will rise after three days, they would seemingly not quite comprehend this. But when Jesus asks, Who do you say that I am? Peter speaks for the disciples: You are the Christ. Moments later, the rather confused Peter objects to the Jesus assertion that he will suffer and die. Jesus stunningly rebukes him for his objection, Get behind me, Satan. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do. Although Peter is beginning to form true faith in his declaration of belief in Christ, he still is thinking like a human, and has not yet begun to see the world through God s eyes. Peter s faith has not yet grown to its full stature, as it will after the Resurrection. Our gift of faith sees and believes the suffering and death of Christ, but we still might not see the consequences of that faith. Our works arise out of our belief in and love for the Lord. Through our faith, we must not only believe, but help others as Christ would do. This is seeing the world through God s eyes.
