AH, THE HUMANITY!
A little over a month ago, an Illinois university announced that it was dropping three majors in the Humanities Department—Anthropology, Religious Studies & French—along with one mi-nor—Italian—because the majority of students were choosing to major in subjects related to their chosen future professions, pri-marily business and IT. Earlier in the year, this university also cut American, Greek & Roman cultural studies among others, with plans for “transformations” in music, art, sociology and philosophy. The elimination of religious studies is particularly ironic considering that the university in question was founded as a religious institution! Now follows one of my periodic rants re-garding contemporary culture….
With my undergrad degree in English Literature, this report threw me for a loop even though it wasn’t my university making such an appalling move (holding my breath on that!). Yes, I know that most universities are struggling with finances and need to be realistic about their course offerings, so on one level I understand how they could come to this decision. What’s more troubling though is the diminished place of the humanities in education at a time when what it means to be human is so dis-torted by all the technology that tends to dominate people’s lives, not to mention the inclination of the “woke” who feel entitled to “cancel” those persons and chapters in human history that they find unpalatable or redefine essential human truths like gender, marriage or the sanctity of unborn life. Perhaps anthropology had to go because, even though the Greek root, anthropos, is cor-rectly translated as human being, anthropology is defined by Webster (does anyone still use a real dictionary?) as “the study of man” which would make it unacceptable in the new non-binary, gender-neutral world order.
But the sad truth is that we need the humanities now more than ever in order to embrace our genuine, God-given humanity—not some manufactured, imaginary version based on cultural whims, political correctness or what’s “trending” today. We need the hu-manities to remind us both of our dignity as children of God and of our failure, all too often, to live up to our potential as the “summit” of God’s creation. Whether one is or is not a person of faith, the humanities can help us put humankind and human his-tory into perspective, recognizing that no person or event in his-tory should be cancelled because no one is perfect, not even the greatest saints (Jesus & Mary excepted), and very few people in

history were completely evil (aside from Hitler & probably a few others); even Lucifer (not human, but traditionally considered God’s favorite angel) was the Morning Star before his fall from grace. And one of those humanities—music—can help clarify that perspective as a recent Scotty McCreery song, In Between, puts it so playfully: I ain’t all holy water and I ain’t all Jim Beam; I’m somewhere in between.
Aren’t we all? We need the humanities to help us remember that.

Gospel Meditation THE CHOICE OF STEWARDSHIP
What does it mean to be a
good steward? Does it mean to
be an active parishioner, or
something more? Are we
better stewards because we
give more in terms of our
money and time to our parish,
or are we called to do even
more than that?
The truth is that stewardship is
a way of life. We are not simply
c a l l e d t o b e a c t i v e
parishioners, but instead be
active disciples all the time. In
fact, what we learn to do in our
parish should serve as
preparation for the mission
field of the world. What have
we really done if we only act
like disciples of Jesus Christ
while we are assembled with
others who claim to be the
same?
The choice before us is to give
of ourselves in all aspects of
our day and life. The call of
Jesus will come in our everyday
lives with our co-workers,
family, and friends more often
than it will within our parish
community. First, if we can’t
become good stewards when
we are among those who
proclaim Jesus as Lord, how
will we be able to do so when
we are with those who are non-
believers? Second, when our
mus c les o f g r a t i t ude ,
generosity, and graciousness
are strengthened within our
parish community, we are
more able to meet the
challenges of this world.
However, we do not become
good stewards by accident. We
must always choose to live this
way. What will you choose?

21st Sunday in Ordinary Time
The only way to know God is
to love God. Our minds will
never fully grasp the mystery
of God, but our hearts and
souls can learn to love the
mystery. Years ago, when life
had a more innocent quality
to it, we believed what we
were told or witnessed, unless
there was direct evidence oth-
erwise. This was especially true if the information came from someone in
authority. In a sense, we were a bit more gullible on one hand but also
more trusting on the other. The latter is an admirable quality that sadly can
be eroded when we realize we have been duped. With education and tech-
nological advances, we find ourselves more skeptical and less likely to too
quickly accept and believe what we see and hear.
For all of the good that social media can do, it can also easily distort reality
and truth. Photoshop and a myriad other technological truths can add to,
fabricate, and make even the non-existent seem real. It is amazing. How
far do we allow this obviously justifiable skepticism to take us? Questioning
and doubting are healthy elements of any good relationship as long as we
don’t allow them to turn us away from a deeper experience of love and en-
counter. If we cannot get our minds around something or empirically justify
or prove it, we tend to declare it a hoax, untrue, or unauthentic and walk
away. The very same trust that can quickly be eroded is exactly what is es-
sential for all of our relationships, especially our relationship with God. With
all things and people that make a profound claim on us, we have to trust in
the absence of knowledge. Full self-investment involves plunging com-
pletely into the unknown!
Simon Peter said to Jesus, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.”
Peter came to this knowledge, which is not “head knowledge” because of
the relationship he shared with Jesus and what God was able to reveal in
and through that relationship. Peter simply “knew” because of love that
this is who Jesus really is. The silent exchange of love between friends, and
not an intellectual exercise of the mind, brought Peter to this place. When
we stop and think about it, there are many things in life that we simply
know but do not completely understand. When someone sacrifices their
own well-being for another, it may not make intellectual sense when exam-
ined. But it makes a world of sense when it is carried out. The vastness of
reality and an encounter with incomprehensible mystery all lead us to pro-
found silence where we simply know something to be true. Have you
trusted enough to allow your relationship with God to bring you to this place
or are you still too skeptical? ©LPi

DOING THIS AFTER A HEART ATTACK COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE
Heart attacks can be terrifying, sudden and life-altering medical experi-
ences with potentially dire consequences.
There are many factors that contribute to your likelihood of having a
heart attack or subsequent cardiac problem, including unavoidable ge-
netic risks. But research has shown one of the best ways to avoid fu-
ture heart attacks – and the hospitalizations they come with – is by
participating in a cardiac rehabilitation program.
Cardiac rehab is an individualized treatment plan for patients who have
suffered a heart attack, cardiac surgery, heart failure, heart transplant
or other cardiac events, covering everything from physical activity to
nutrition to stress management.
According to the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmo-
nary Rehabilitation, recent studies have shown that people who com-
plete a cardiac rehabilitation program can increase their life expec-
tancy by up to five years, reduce all-cause mortality by up to 24% and
reduce readmission rates.
It also has shown to:
Lessen the chances of another heart attack
Control heart disease symptoms such as chest pain or shortness
of breath
Stop or reverse damage to cardiac blood vessels
Improve stamina and strength
Improve confidence and well-being

Wishing you joy and good health,

RELIGIOUS EDUCATIONRELIGIOUS EDUCATIONRELIGIOUS EDUCATION
The archdiocese has advised
religious education programs
to develop the capacity to offer
classes in both virtual and in-
person formats. To do this we
need catechists who can teach
both virtual classes or 'at-
home formation' and in-person
classes. For in-person classes
to be executed safely we need
a new cadre of volunteers to
monitor safety measures such
as social distancing upon en-
try/exit and in the hallways,
and that all persons in the
school building are wearing
masks. Catechists and other
volunteers associated with the
religious education program
must complete archdiocese
compliance requirements in-
cluding Virtus training, man-
dated reporter training, and a
background check.
If you can help in any way
please contact Karen Shifflett
or 708-798-6311.
Thank you.

Today’s Readings
TWENTY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Sunday, August 23, 2020
First Reading
Isaiah 22:19-23
God will remove Shebna from his office as master of
the palace.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 138:1-3,6,8
God’s kindness is forever.
Second Reading
Romans 11:33-36
Paul sings praise to God.
Gospel Reading
Matthew 16:13-20
Simon Peter acknowledges Jesus as the Christ and is
given the key to the Kingdom of Heaven.
BACKGROUND ON THE GOSPEL READING
It is important to read today’s Gospel and next week’s Gospel as two parts of a single story. These readings
are a turning point in Matthew’s Gospel. This week we hear Jesus name Simon Peter as the rock upon which
he will build his Church. Next week we will hear Jesus call this same Simon Peter "Satan" when he reacts
negatively to Jesus’ prediction about his passion and death.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus asks his disciples what people are saying about his identity. The disciples indicate
that most people believe that Jesus is a prophet of Israel. Then Jesus asks his disciples who they believe that
he is. Simon Peter answers, identifying Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God.
Jesus commends Simon Peter for this profession of faith, indicating that this insight has come from God. Be-
cause of Simon Peter’s response, Jesus calls him the "rock" upon which Jesus will build the Church. This is a
word play on the name Peter, which is the Greek word for "rock." Peter is then given special authority by Je-
sus, a symbolic key to the Kingdom of Heaven. Peter will play an important role in the early Christian commu-
nity as a spokesperson and a leader.
In today’s Gospel, Peter’s recognition of Jesus’ identity is credited to a revelation by God. This will contrast
sharply with Jesus’ rebuke of Peter in next week’s Gospel. When Peter rejects Jesus’ prediction of his pas-
sion and death, Peter is said to no longer be thinking as God does but as humans do.
The use of the term church in today’s Gospel is one of only three such occurrences in Matthew’s Gospel. Pe-
ter in this Gospel is being credited as the foundation for the Church, a privilege granted to him because of his
recognition of Jesus’ identity. The Church continues to be grounded in the faith that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Growing with the Gospel
Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi and he asked his disci-
ples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some
say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the
prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Pe-
ter 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 netherworld 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.
