Do you want this job? Can you forgive me? The question Jesus asks today is one that certainly changes lives. Our response is not simply an academic exercise, a matter of knowing the right answer we learned from a book. Our answer must lead to a commitment that is to be lived out each day of our lives. Peter s answer certainly changed the course of his life. Peter response: You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. It was the Father. And so Jesus declares that Peter will be the one to lead the other disciples and all who would come after. Simon, son of John, fisherman, husband, brother and one who would deny he ever knew Christ! he was to be the rock on which Jesus would build the church. His response was life-changing. Peter s answer was not a perfect one, as we shall see next week. Even so, Jesus accepts it as an indication that his Father is at work in those called to be with him who would continue his work. The Father chose to work in fallible human beings. We may not think of ourselves as rocks, but the future of the church depends on how well each one of us lives out the answer to this question, Who do you say that I am? James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R.

9 24 Août ème Dimanche Ordinaire - Année A Reflechi sou Pawòl Bondye a Gen sèten kesyon ki chanje lavi nou, depandan de jan nou repon yo: Eske ou aksepte pran moun sa a kòm mari ou / madanm ou? Ou vle travay sa a? Èske ou ka padonnen m? Kesyon Jezi poze jodi a se youn ki sètènman chanje lavi? Repons nou se pa tou senpleman yon egzèsis akademik, yon leson nou te aprann bien nan yon liv. Repons nou an dwe mennen nou a yon angajman ke nou pral viv chak jou nan lavi nou. Repons Pyè a sètènman chanje tout bagay nan lavi l. Jezi rekonèt ke se pa t konesans Pyè, oswa nenpòt lòt moun, ki te ba Pyè repons sa a: Ou se Kris la, Pitit Bondye vivan an. Se te Papa a ki te ba li repons la. Se konsa, Jezi te deklare ke se Pyè ki pral lidè lòt disip yo ak tout moun ki t vle vini apre. Simon, pitit Jan, pechè pwason, mari, frè-ak yon moun ki te refize admèt li te janm konnen Kris la! Se li menm Jezi te chwazi kòm poto mitan pou li bati legliz la. Repons Pyè a te reyèlman chanje lavi l. Repons li a, pa t yon repons pafè, jan nou pral wè semèn pwochèn nan. Kwak sa, Jezi aksepte li kòm yon endikasyon ke Papa l tap travay nan ke moun ki ta pral kontinye travay li a. Granmèt la te chwazi pou li travay avèk imen ki pat pafè. Nou ka pa panse ke nou se oken poto mitan, men lavni legliz la depann de ki jan nou chak viv repons nou bay a kesyon sa a, Ki moun ou di ke mwen ye? «Je te donnerai les clefs du Royaume des cieux» (Mt 16, 13-20) LECTURES DU JOUR 1ère Lecture Mon serviteur, Éliakim, fils de Hilkias, sera un père pour les habitants de Jérusalem. (Is 22, 19-23) Psaume Seigneur, éternel est ton amour : n arrête pas l oeuvre de tes mains. Ps 137, 1-2a, 2bc-3, 6a.8 2ème Lecture Profondeur insondable du mystère du salut (Rm 11, 33-36) Evangile Jésus dit aux disciples : «Et vous, que ditesvous? Pour vous, qui suis-je?» Prenant la parole, Simon- Pierre déclara : «Tu es le Messie, le Fils du Dieu vivant!» (Mt 16, 13-20) LECTURES DE LA SEMAINE Lundi: 2 Tes 1:1-5, 11-12; Ps 96 (95):1-5; Mt 23:13-22 Mardi: 2 Tes 2:1-3a, 14-17; Ps 96 (95):10-13; Mt 23:23-26 Mercredi: 2 Tes 3:6-10, 16-18; Ps 124 (123):1-2, 4-5; Mt 23:27-32 Jeudi: 1 Co 1:1-9; Ps 145 (144):2-7; Mt 24:42-51 Vendredi: 1 Co 1:17-25; Ps 33 (32):1-2, 4-5, 10-11; Mc 6:17-29 Samedi: 1 Co 1:26-31; Ps 33 (32):12-13, 18-21; Mt 25:14-30 Dimanche: Jer 20:7-9; Ps 63 (62):2-6, 8-9; Rom 12:1-2; Mt 16:21-27 Katolik Poukisa? Reyinyon/enfòmasyon Madi, 26 Out a 7è pm nan lekòl la Eske ou ta renmen lapriyè pi bien? Selebre sakreman yo pi byen? Aprann kòman pou ou pataje konfyans ou nan Bondye ak lòt moun? Si wap chèche repons e ou ta renmen chita ak yon ti gwoup pawasyen pou redekouvri kisa sa vle di mwen se Katolik. Reflechi sou kòman Bondye ka sèvi avèk ou nan lavi lòt moun ak nan pawas la. Nouvo pwogram sa a ap kòmanse nan kèlke semen. Tanpri vini nan reyinyon sa a, nap gen plis enfòmasyon sou pwogram nan e kòman ti gwoup yo pral fòme. Nou bezwen lidè tou pou ede. Mèsi anpil.

10 24 de Agosto de Vigésimo Primer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario LA ROCA Jesús escogió a Pedro para ser el jefe del inseguro grupo de Apóstoles. En el Evangelio de hoy, el que una vez se llamaba Simón es ahora Pedro la roca. En el Evangelio de Juan, Pedro es llamado a ser pastor. Eso requiere que esté dispuesto a dar su vida por sus ovejas. Y la tradición nos dice que él hizo eso exactamente. Pero hoy, pensamos en las cualidades inmovibles de las rocas que Jesús necesitaba en un jefe. Pedro se ganó su posición de liderazgo por razones que no nos podemos imaginar. Dios sabe, y Jesús también, que Pedro tenía sus fallas. No podemos dejar de ver su entusiasmo, ni su gran amor y fe espontánea. Esas virtudes le sirvieron bien. Son virtudes admirables, duraderas y fuertes. Hacen que Pedro sea simpático y fácil de querer. Nos proporcionan el balance y el buen humor necesarios al considerar nuestros papeles y miembros de la Iglesia universal de nuestro tiempo. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. LA VERDADERA MEDIDA Cuando yo muera, Dios no medirá mi cabeza para ver cuán listo yo fui. Dios medirá mi corazón para ver cuánto amor di. Anónimo La misión en la Iglesia Católica de San Bartolomé es reflejar el amor de Dios a todos quienes nos reunimos, para fortalecer nuestra comunidad de fe a través de la adoración, educación, compañerismo, corresponsabilidad y actos de amor y caridad, de modo que podamos dirigir a personas de todas las procedencias a nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Valor Espiritual de la Santa Misa Como Cristianos debemos saber, que la Santa Misa es el más Sagrado acto de religión: No se puede hacer nanda más glorioso para Dios, nada más favorecedor para nuestra Alma, que el piadoso Acto de asistir a la Santa Misa lo más frecuente que podamos. Tenemos fechas disponibles para la Misa de las 5 pm para Usted y sus seres queridos vivos o difuntos. Nuestra Parroquia de San Bartolomé Ofrece a los adultos que les falte un Sacramento de Iniciación Cristiana (Bautismo, Confirmación o Primera Comunión) Las clases empezaran en Septiembre.
