The devil is the gateway of death who always hastens to stir up against the holy church calamities and temptations and persecutions. But the faith of the apostle, which was founded upon the rock of Christ, abides always unconquered and unshaken. And the very keys of the kingdom of the heavens have been handed down so that one whom he has bound on earth has been bound in heaven, and one whom he has set free on earth he has also set free in heaven. (INTERPRETATION OF THE GOSPELS 28) The Lord Jesus offers us the gift of unshakeable faith, enduring hope, and unquenchable love - and the joyful boldness to proclaim him as the one true Savior who brings us the kingdom of God both now and forever. Who do you say he is to yourself and to your neighbor? Lord Jesus, I profess and believe that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God. You are my Lord and my Savior. Make my faith strong like Peter's and give me boldness to speak of you to others that they may come to know you personally as Lord and Savior and grow in the knowledge of your great love.

The Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven

At an opportune time Jesus tests his disciples with a crucial question: Who do men say that I am and who do you say that I am? He was widely recognized in Israel as a mighty man of God, even being compared with the greatest of the prophets, John the Baptist, Elijah, and Jeremiah. Peter, always quick to respond, exclaimed that he was the Christ, the Son of the living God. No mortal being could have revealed this to Peter; but only God. Cyril of Alexandria (376-444 AD), an early church father comments on Peter's profession of faith in Jesus:

Peter did not say "you are a Christ" or "a son of God" but "the Christ, the Son of God." For there are many christs [meaning anointed ones] by grace, who have attained the rank of adoption [as sons], but [there is] only one who is by nature the Son of God. Thus, using the definite article, he said, the Christ, the Son of God. And in calling him Son of the living God, Peter indicates that Christ himself is life and that death has no authority over him. And even if the flesh, for a short while, was weak and died, nevertheless it rose again, since the Word, who indwelled it, could not be held under the bonds of death. (FRAGMENT 190)

Jesus plays on Peter's name which is the same word for "rock" in both Aramaic and Greek. To call

someone a "rock" is one of the greatest of compliments. The ancient rabbis had a saying that when God saw Abraham, he exclaimed: "I have discovered a rock to found the world upon". Through Abraham God established a nation for himself. Through faith Peter grasped who Jesus truly was. He was the first apostle to recognize Jesus as the Anointed One (Messiah and Christ) and the only begotten Son of God. The New Testament describes the church as a spiritual house or temple with each member joined together as living stones (see 1 Peter 2:5). Faith in Jesus Christ makes us into rocks or spiritual stones. Jesus then confers on Peter authority to govern the church that Jesus would build, a church that no powers would overcome because it is founded on the rock which is Christ himself. Epiphanius, a 6th century Scripture scholar who also translated many early church commentaries from Greek into Latin, explains the significance of Jesus handing down the "keys of the kingdom":

For Christ is a rock which is never disturbed or worn away. Therefore Peter gladly received his name from Christ to signify the established and unshaken faith of the church... The devil is the gateway of death who always hastens to stir up against the holy church calamities and temptations and persecutions. But the faith of the apostle, which was founded upon the rock of Christ, abides always unconquered and unshaken. And the very keys of the kingdom of the heavens have been handed down so that one whom he has bound on earth has been bound in heaven, and one whom he has set free on earth he has also set free in heaven. (INTERPRETATION OF THE GOSPELS 28)

The Lord Jesus offers us the gift of unshakeable faith, enduring hope, and unquenchable love - and the joyful boldness to proclaim him as the one true Savior who brings us the kingdom of God both now and forever. Who do you say he is to yourself and to your neighbor? Lord Jesus, I profess and believe that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God. You are my Lord and my Savior.

WIEDZIEĆ TO ZA MAŁO

Pytanie Jezusa było jednoczes nie dla niego odpowiedzią. Ten z nich, kto ry miał poznanie i pewnos c co do boskos ci Jezusa, mo gł zostac „skałą” w Kos ciele. Szymon Piotr własnym staraniem umysłu nie doszedł do takiego poznania Jezusa, jakiemu dał odwaz nie wyraz. Objawił mu to Ojciec, a przez to Ojciec ujawnił, kogo widzi jako fundamentalną skałę w przyszłym Kos ciele! To było znakiem dla Jezusa! Od tej chwili nie tylko Szymon wiedział, kim jest Jezus, ale i Jezus wiedział, kim jest Szymon. Im głębiej Szymon poznawał Jezusa, tym głębiej sam był obdarowywany nową toz samos cią duchową. Zmiana imienia jest tego najlepszym dowodem.

Odkrywamy siebie samych, wchodząc w głębię Serca Jezusowego. Im wnikliwiej Go poznajemy, tym wyraz niej widzimy, kim jestes my. Kiedy Piotr wypowiedział głos no, co odkrył w Chrystusie, Jezus wyrzekł, co widzi w Piotrze. Klucz poznania Boga okazał się tym samym kluczem, kto ry miał moc otworzyc wnętrze Szymona. Człowiek bowiem tak długo jest zamknięty w sobie, dla siebie i dla innych, dopo ki nie otworzy się na pragnienie poznania Boga w Jezusie Chrystusie. Jest to zdumiewające, z e wchodząc w Boga, głębiej docieramy do siebie samych.

Tym bardziej jednak zdumiewa nas zakaz Chrystusa: Surowo im zabronił, aby nikomu nie mo wili, z e On jest Mesjaszem. Intymnos c objawienia jest zamknięta kluczem dyskrecji. Jest zbyt cenna, by mogła byc dostępna

Communion Hymn Shepherd of Souls (English Mass) Communion Hymn O, Jezu Mój Drogi (Polish Mass) 1. O Jezu mo j drogi, Tys jest z ro dłem łask, po s wiecie rozsiewasz miłosierdzia blask.

Twe serce zranione blaskiem słon ca ls ni, za miłos c Twą wielką dziękujemy Ci. 2. Tys przyszedł na ziemię w betlejemską noc, by duszom wątpiącym wlewac łaski moc.

By miłos c nies c s wiatu niby kwiato w won , by brat podał bratu przyjacielską dłon . 3. Stajemy przed Tobą, Boski władco dusz, zachowaj w nas wiarę ws ro d z yciowych burz.

Zaprowadz nas, Jezu, poprzez s mierci pro g, tam, gdzie na nas czeka miłosierny Bo g. 4. A gdy nam przypadnie w niebie szczęs cia los, popłynie w niebiosach dz więcznej pies ni głos.

I Matka Najs więtsza tam powita nas, po z ycia cierpieniach przyjdzie szczęs cia czas.

Postlude Sinfonia in D Minor (G.F. Handel, 1685-1759)

jak zwykły, prasowy czy ekranowy news. Zwykła ciekawos c nie jest kluczem do bram nieba. Poszukiwanie sensacji otwiera bramy piekieł, kto re są pełne skandalicznych z ycioryso w, udokumentowanych przez demonicznych paparazzi. Bo g w Jezusie nie jest sensacją, tylko rewelacją i to dla przyjacio ł. Dla tych, kto rzy są z nim zawsze, na dobre i na złe. Dlatego Jezus od razu prorokował o swoim męczen stwie i s mierci. Zakaz strzez e tajemnicy Jezusa tylko przez pewien czas, ale ma tez inny sens. Chodzi o szacunek dla prawdy o Jezusie. Szanujący się Z yd nie wypowie imienia Boga! Dopiero po zmartwychwstaniu Jezus nakazał głosic uczniom zbawczą prawdę o Nim całemu s wiatu. Piotr na razie zobaczył głębię prawdy o Jezusie, ale jeszcze jej nie przez ył. Nie wystarczy sama wiedza o Chrystusie. Dopiero dos wiadczenie uzupełnia objawienie i uprawnia do apostołowania. Przyglądanie się szczytom go rskim ze spokojnej doliny to nie to samo, co ich zdobycie. Nie ten jest alpinistą, kto widział Alpy, ale ten, kto wspiął się choc by na jedną skałę! Nie ten jest w pełni apostołem, kto widział Jezusa i wie, kim On jest, ale ten, kto zdobył się na przez ycie z Nim zgorszenia krzyz a i chwały powstania z grobu. Apostoł, kto ry wie, kim jest Jezus, ale nie chce z Nim przez yc zgorszenia krzyz a, staje się podobny do robaka w owocu. Nie dziwmy się więc słowom Jezusa, kto re po z niej nazwały Piotra szatanem. Spoz ywac Ciało Chrystusa w Komunii S więtej, ale samemu nie byc strawnym dla wspo lnoty, to cos więcej niz egoizm.

Feast Days of the Week

St. Bartholomew, Apostle August 24, 2020 (Feast) Saint Bartholomew is one of the Twelve Apostles, men-tioned sixth in the three Gospel lists (Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:14), and seventh in the list of Acts (1:13). The name (Bartholomaios) means "son of Talmai" which was an ancient Hebrew name. Besides being listed as an Apostle, he is not otherwise men-tioned in the New Testament, at least not under the name Bartholomew: many ancient writ-ers, and Catholic tradition have identified Bartholomew as Nathaniel in the Gospel of John (John 1:45-51, and 21:2). The Gospel passage read at Mass on the feast of Saint Bartholomew is precisely this passage from John (1:45-51) where Nathaniel is introduced to Jesus by his friend Phillip, and Jesus says of him "Here is a true child of Israel. There is no duplicity in him (1:47)." We are presented with the Apostle's character in this brief and beautiful dialogue with the Lord Jesus. He is a good Jew, honest and innocent, a just man, who devotes much time to quiet reflection and prayer - "under the fig tree (1:48)" - and has been awaiting the Messiah, the Holy One of God. At Jesus' mention that "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you (1:48)," Na-thaniel responded "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel (1:49)!" Being "a true child of Israel," Nathaniel was a man well-read in the Scriptures and knew what they said of the Messiah and where he would come from. This is why he is skeptical of Phillip's claim that Jesus is the Messiah, "Can any-thing good come out of Nazareth (1:46)?" But Nathaniel was lacking "duplicity" - that is, his heart was undivided, his intentions pure - his openness to reality was always ready to recognize and surrender to the truth when he encountered it. He remained open to his friend Phillip's invitation to "Come and see (1:46)." In encountering Jesus and hearing His words, he found himself face to face with the Truth Himself, and, like John the Baptist's leap in his mother's womb at the Lord's presence, Nathaniel's words lept out of his own heart in a clear and simple confession of faith, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!" Jesus, in Matthew 5:8, says, "Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God." In Nathaniel we have an exam-ple of the pure man who sees - recognizes - God when con-fronted with Him, and on seeing Him believes in Him, and upon believing in Him, follows Him. Nothing is known for sure about the life of Na-thaniel/Bartholomew after the Ascension of Jesus, but tradi-tion holds that he preached in the East and died a martyr's death in Armenia, being flayed alive for having won converts to the Lord Jesus. Saint Augustine, Bishop and Doctor of the Church August 28, 2020 (Memorial)

On August 28, the Church honors St. Augus-tine. St. Augustine was born at the town of Thagaste (now Souk-Ahras in modern day Algeria) on November 13, 354 and grew to become one the most significant and influential thinkers in the history of the Catholic Church. His teachings were the foundation of Christian doctrine for a millennium. The story of his life, up until his conversion, is written in the autobiographical Confessions, the most intimate and well-known glimpse into an individual's soul ever written, as well as a fascinating phil-osophical, theological, mystical, poetic and literary work. Augustine, though being brought up in early child-hood as a Christian, lived a dissolute life of revelry and sin, and soon drifted away from the Church - thinking that he wasn't necessarily leaving Christ, of whose name he acknowl-edges "I kept it in the recesses of my heart; and all that pre-sented itself to me without that Divine name, though it might be elegant, well written, and even replete with truth, did not altogether carry me away" (Confessions, I, iv). He went to study in Carthage and became well-known in the city for his brilliant mind and rhetorical skills and sought a career as an orator or lawyer. But he also dis-covered and fell in love with philosophy at the age of 19, a love he pursued with great vehemence. He was attracted to Manichaeanism at this time, after its devotees had promised him that they had scientific an-swers to the mystery of nature, could disprove the Scriptures, and could explain the problem of evil. Augustine became a follower for nine years, learning all there was to learn in it before rejecting it as incoherent and fraudulent. He went to Rome and then Milan in 386 where he met Saint Ambrose, the bishop and Doctor of the Church, whose sermons inspired him to look for the truth he had al-ways sought in the faith he had rejected. He received baptism and soon after, his mother, Saint Monica, died with the knowledge that all she had hoped for in this world had been fulfilled. He returned to Africa, to his hometown of Tagaste, "having now cast off from himself the cares of the world, he lived for God with those who accompanied him, in fasting, prayers, and good works, meditating on the law of the Lord by day and by night." On a visit to Hippo he was proclaimed priest and then bishop against his will. He later accepted it as the will of God and spent the rest of his life as the pastor of the North African town, where he spent much time refuting the writings of heretics. Augustine also wrote, The City of God, against the pagans who charged that the fall of the Roman empire, which was taking place at the hands of the Vandals, was due to the spread of Christianity. On August 28, 430, as Hippo was under siege by the Vandals, Augustine died, at the age of 76. His legacy continues to deeply shape the face of the Church to this day.

Restoring the Sacred—Catholic Tradition

SS. Peter & Paul Parish invites you to observe with us

First Saturday Mass Followed by the Devotion to the

Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Saturday, September 5, 2020 9:00 a.m.

Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the

Roman Rite, Low Mass (Latin Mass)

For further information, please contact Father Jerry Pilus at 313-846-2222

The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite is the liturgy of the Catholic Church in use before the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. This includes the Mass, the Sacraments, various rites of blessing and more. On July 7, 2007, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI issued an apostolic letter called Summorum Pontificum. In this letter he declared that older form of the Roman rite was never abrogated, and that it “must be given due honor for its venerable and ancient usage.” (SP Art. 1) His Holiness termed the traditional Latin Mass – the older form – the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. This older form has been in use for many centuries. During this time it was at the heart of the Church and Western culture, nourishing countless generations.

An Invitation to the Men and Boys of our Parish! We are in need of Altar Servers for the

Traditional Latin Mass! Our parish altar servers provide a liturgical ministry for assistance at all parish Masses. Currently, we are seeking altar servers for the Traditional Latin Mass. Our Latin Mass offerings are expanding, thus the need for more altar serv-ers. Generally, after boys receive their First Holy Commun-ion, they become eligible to be trained as altar servers. The men of the parish are also encouraged to be trained to serve at the Holy Altar of God. The parish, preserving the tradition of men and boys serving at the altar, hopes to fos-ter many vocations to the Catholic priesthood.

Pray for the Sick

All-powerful and everlasting God, your Son accepted our suffering to teach us the virtue of patience in human ill-ness. Hear the prayers we offer for our sick brothers and sisters. May all who suffer know that they are joined to Christ in His suffering for the salvation of the world. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer for an end to the coronavirus crisis

Loving God, we come before you in our time of need. We lay before you our concerns and fears over the spread of the coronavirus. We know that you are mightier than all our fears and that the name of Jesus is the name above all other names. We ask, in the name of Jesus, that you stop the spread of the coronavirus. In your mercy, heal those who are sick and lead those who have died into your heav-enly kingdom. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Prayer of Pope Benedict XVI

To the Queen of Peace, the Mother of Jesus Christ "our peace" (Eph 2:14), I entrust my urgent prayer for all hu-manity to which we look with hearts full of hope, notwith-standing the dangers and difficulties that surround us. May Mary show us, in her Son, the Way of peace, and enlighten our vision, so that we can recognize Christ's face in the face of every human person, the heart of peace!
