TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME First Reading: Jeremiah 20:7-9 In this particularly poetic passage, Jeremiah complains that while teaching the Lord’s word, he is subjected to insults and derision. He determines to remain silent, but he cannot because the desire to speak the Lord’s name is “like a fire burning in my heart.” Second Reading: Romans 12:1-2 Paul tells the Christians to make sacrifices to avoid the trappings of the times, and to do God’s will. Gospel: Matthew 16:21-27 Jesus tries to make his disciples realize that by following him, they will endure suffering, degradation, and death. He tells them that they must deny themselves and take up the cross in order to be his disciples.

If you are a Catholic over the age of 18, please consider joining the Holy Name Society and join us at our re-organizational meeting on Thursday Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. in Memorial Hall – join your prayers with others so that the Most Holy Name of Jesus can be venerated – our prayers will be heard!
