Readings and Reflections 22nd Sunday of Ordinary Time

First Reading: Whenever I speak, I must cry out, violence and outrage is my message; the word of the LORD has brought

me derision and reproach all the day. (Jer 20:8)

Reflect: In a prayer of lamentation, Jeremiah speaks of the loneliness and isolation of answering his prophetic call. What

words of comfort would you offer Jeremiah?

Psalm: My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. (Ps 63)

Second Reading: I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God,

your spiritual worship. (Rom 12:1)

Reflect: Paul urges fellow believers in Rome to remain focused on pleasing God. What do you find most challenging in this spiritual discipline?

Gospel: Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” (Mt 16:24)

Reflect: Peter and Jesus have an intense exchange of words over Jesus’ revelation that as the Messiah, he will suffer and die. How often do you think

there was tension between Jesus and his 12 apostles?

A Prayer Amid an Epidemic

By Kerry Weber

Jesus Christ, you traveled through towns and villages “curing every disease and illness.” At your command, the sick were made well. Come to our

aid now, in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love.

Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their strength and health through quality medical care.

Heal us from our fear, which prevents nations from working together and neighbors from helping one another.

Heal us from our pride, which can make us claim invulnerability to a disease that knows no borders.

Jesus Christ, healer of all, stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow.

Be with those who have died from the virus. May they be at rest with you in your eternal peace.

Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and despair. May they know your peace.

Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help those affected and who put themselves at risk in

the process. May they know your protection and peace.

Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well-being of the people they are meant to

serve. Give them the wisdom to invest in long-term solutions that will help prepare for or prevent future outbreaks. May they know your peace, as

they work together to achieve it on earth.

Whether we are home or abroad, surrounded by many people suffering from this illness or only a few, Jesus Christ, stay with us as we endure and

mourn, persist and prepare. In place of our anxiety, give us your peace.

Jesus Christ, heal us.

St. Vincent DePaul is requesting St. Patrick

Co-Cathedral‘s help and assistance in

gathering, sleeping bags, blankets and

pillows for the coming winter. This may

sound like an unreasonable request with

our current hot weather, but the coming

cold and snow is inevitable. There will be an increased need

for these items from previous years due to the pandemic.

Please consider donating any useful items you may find in

your house or garage that can be used to fulfill this need.

St. Vincent DePaul will be providing donation containers at

many local parishes for your convenience. These will be

installed by September 12, 2020. Again, we thank you for

consideration and invaluable support.

The Virtual, Online Retrouvaille marriage program will start Thursday evening,

September 17th. The weekend portion will take place Thursday evening, Friday

evening, Saturday day and Sunday. The weekend will be followed by a series of virtual

Post Weekend Sessions.

Successful Worldwide Program

This is a marriage help program located in about 150 cities in more than 25 countries

around the world. It has provided the tools to help 10’s of 1000’s of marriages and

families over the last 40+ years. Some couples come to the weekend at the early signs

of difficulty. Others consider the program their last resort and come during times of deep

misery. Either way, this program will work for you if you commit to work the program.

Please contact 406-761-4830 for information or register at www.helpourmarriage.org.

Did you know there are 750 children in

foster care in Yellowstone County? For

Renewal Weekend Cancellation This is a very challenging time for all of us. After prayer, discernment and discussion

with members of our local secretariat we have made the decision to cancel the fall Renewal weekend that was scheduled

for September 25-27 at St. Bernard's. Our concern is for the health of everyone. We encourage you all to pray for our

community during this time, along with praying for candidates and teams for the 2021 Cum Christo weekends next June

and for the Fall Renewal in 2021. God Bless, stay healthy and happy. God has a plan.
