Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time Today’s Readings First Reading: Thus says the LORD: “Stand firm in justice; do what is right” (Isaiah 56). Psalm: O God, let all the nations praise you! (Psalm 67). Second Reading: The gifts and the calling of God are unable to be revoked (Romans 11). Gospel: Recognizing the Canaanite woman’s great faith, Jesus told her, “It shall be done as you wish” (Matthew 15). Readings for the Week Monday: Ez 24:15-24; Dt 32:18-21; Mt 19:16-22 Tuesday: Ez 28:1-10; Dt 32:26-28, 30, 35cd-36ab; Mt 19:23-30 Wednesday: Ez 34:1-11; Ps 23:1-6; Mt 20:1-16 Thursday: Ez 36:23-28; Ps 51:12-15, 18-19; Mt 22:1-14 Friday: Ez 37:1-14; Ps 107:2-9; Mt 22:34-40 Saturday: Ez 43:1-7ab; Ps 85:9ab, 10-14; Mt 23:1-12 Sunday: Is 22:19-23; Ps 138:1-3, 6, 8; Rom 11:33-36; Mt 16:13-20 Saints and Special Observances Sunday: Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time Wednesday: St. John Eudes Thursday: St. Bernard Friday: St. Pius X Saturday: Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary Scripture Reflection The “foreigners” as Isaiah calls them, the “Gentiles” as Paul calls them, or the “Canaanites” as Matthew calls them are called to worship the one true God in prayer. As we listen to today’s readings, perhaps we are tempted to ask: Why pray? The question is rhetorical; it is tantamount to asking why should friends talk to one another or people in love kiss one another. Prayer is a way of relating to God, a way of talking to God. The apostles had the opportunity to talk to Jesus in the flesh. We have the opportunity to talk to Jesus Christ in prayer. Our relationship with him must be enthusiastic; it cannot be faint-hearted. John Donne, a fifteenth-century poet, knew what the qualities of good prayer were. Donne asks God to treat him differently from most Christians. The poet does not want God to merely “knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend,” but also to “break, blow, burn, and make me new” (Holy Sonnets, XIV). It takes a dynamic faith on our part to come to God in prayer. As Jesus once said, “Knock and the door will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7). It may take pounding the door down, but if we are as persistent as the woman in today’s Gospel, the results will follow. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. Archdiocesan Family Prayer Loving and faithful God, through the years the people of our archdiocese have appreciated the prayers and love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today against violence, murder and racism. We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives respect to the life and dignity of all people. Bless parents that they may form their children in faith. Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost loved ones through violence. Hear our prayer and give us the perseverance to be a voice for life and human dignity in our community. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us. Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we may be a holy family. Amen. St. Catherine of Siena Parish Prayer God, Our Father, we thank you for our parish community of St. Catherine of Siena. Thank you for the many blessings that you have given us, but especially for calling us to serve as disciples of your son, Jesus Christ. As we gather today, we ask that you send your Holy Spirit to guide us in everything that we do. Transform our hearts and lead us closer to you. Help us always to seek to be a parish that is Centered on Christ and Ablaze with Love. We ask all of these things in the name of Jesus, and through the intercession of our Blessed Mother. St. Catherine of Siena, pray for us! St. Michael the Archangel Prayer St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Adorers: Sunday—3 am.

Prayer Partners: Monday—1 pm; Friday—8 pm and 9 pm; and Saturday—3 pm and 7 pm.

Is your schedule for the fall such that one of these times now will work for you? Would your prayer group, card playing group, or tennis, golf, or other sports friends consider committing to an hour and taking turns spending time with our Eucharistic Lord? The willingness of dozens of committed adorers and prayer partners makes it possible for our chapel to be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you are interested in taking an hour in the chapel, please contact Mary Jeandron, maryms777@aol.com or 858-4464.

General Guidelines for SCS Mass Attendance

Wearing a mask is mandatory at all Masses and in the adoration chapel. • Every other pew in the Church is roped off. • Every household should sit six feet away from the other

household. • Be mindful of social distancing, and maintain six feet of

distance from others at all times. • The collection baskets will not be passed throughout the

Church. Two baskets will be placed at the foot of the sanctuary for anyone who wants to make an offering before Mass or during the offertory of Mass.

• The sign of peace may be expressed by means of a smile and/or a nod of the head. No physical sign of peace will be exchanged.

• When Mass is over, please do not gather in groups in the Narthex and continue to maintain social distancing.

Guidelines for Receiving Holy Communion

• Please bring hand sanitizer to use before receiving Communion.

• During Communion, please maintain social distancing in the line by spacing out six feet from the person in front of you.

• Communion will be distributed by means of the sacred Host only. There will be no distribution from the chalice.

• Out of consideration and concern for others, we ask everyone to receive Communion in the hand rather than on the tongue.

• When approaching the priest/minister for Communion, place your hand flat atop your other hand. The minister will place the Host on your hand and then let go of the Host to avoid any contact with your hand.

Parish Snapshots

Above: Back to School! Teachers completed their faculty in-service. It was great to have them back on campus! Faculty members spent the day reviewing the new safety procedures to protect our students so that we can have a healthy year of learning. We are thrilled that our students have returned to campus! Right: One of two outdoor hand washing stations recently installed to help facilitate more hand washing after recess. This is just one of many things that have been done to help ensure our students’ safety. Below: The new faculty nursery at SCS has opened and is very lively! We are blessed to have so many teacher babies on campus!

Creation of Archdiocesan Department of Catholic Education and Faith Formation In an effort to better serve the Archdiocese of New Orleans, Archbishop Gregory M. Aymond has created the department of Catholic education and faith formation. This new department will include Catholic schools, parish schools of religion, RCIA programs, evangelization, adult education, and catechist certification programs focused on a shared ministry of forming lifelong disciples. Dr. RaeNell Houston will serve as executive director and superintendent of Catholic schools and will be supported by deputy superintendents Dcn. Michael Whitehouse and Mrs. Martha Mundine, along with additional professional staff. By creating this department, it is hoped that duplication of efforts will be eliminated, enabling the Archdiocese to focus resources on Catholic education and religious education for all ages in both parishes and Catholic schools. Catholic Counseling Service Catholic Counseling Service (CCS) has resumed face-to-face counseling services, including safety precautions, and continues to offer telehealth services to individuals, couples, and families. Through the generosity of a donor, CCS has received a grant to increase the number of clients that it is able to assist with the cost of counseling, including providing pro bono services when necessary. Anyone interested in counseling can speak to the CCS intake coordinator by calling the CCS main office at 861-6245; please leave a message with name and preferred contact phone number if no one is able to answer at the time of the call. Someone will return the call within the next business day. All calls are confidential.
