St. Mary s Parish News August 31, 2014 Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Feast of Our Lady of Czestochowa 2014 Matthew 16:21-27 Jesus speaks of his Passion and rebukes Peter for his objection. Background on the Gospel Reading Today's Gospel continues the story that began in last week's Gospel. Simon Peter was called the rock upon which Jesus would build his Church, and yet Peter continues to show the limitations of his understanding of Jesus' identity. Now that the disciples have acknowledged that Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus confides in them the outcome of his ministry: he must suffer and die in Jerusalem to be raised on the third day. Peter rejects this prediction, and Jesus rebukes him severely, calling him Satan. In opposing this aspect of Jesus' mission, Peter shows that he is no longer speaking based on the revelation from God but as a human being. Jesus then teaches all of the disciples about the difficult path of discipleship: to be Christ's disciple is to follow in his way of the cross. We wish to thank all our parishioners and friends that attended to the festivities of Our Lady of Czestochowa. Additionally, we are also grateful with all the families that donated items for the festival. We also wish to express our most sincere thanks to all our volunteers, because without your dedication and hard work this would not had been possible. Peter could not yet understand what it meant to call Jesus the Messiah. It is unlikely that the other disciples understood any better. Messianic expectations were a common aspect of firstcentury Judaism. Under Roman occupation, many in Israel hoped and prayed that God would send a Messiah to free the Jews from Roman oppression. The common view was that the Messiah would be a political figure, a king that would free Israel from Roman rule. This is perhaps what Peter envisioned when he was led to recognize Jesus as the Messiah. In this passage, however, Jesus is beginning to teach his disciples that he would be the Messiah in a different way. Jesus would be more like the suffering servant described by the prophet Isaiah than the political liberator. Those who would be Jesus' disciples would be called to a similar life of service. Perhaps this is what Peter feared most in Jesus' prediction of his Passion. He whom Jesus had called rock would also be called upon to offer himself in sacrifice and service to others. Christian leaders today are still called to sacrifice and serve others as Jesus did. Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. (www.dol.gov) In observance of Labor Day the rectory will be closed on Monday, September 1st. The Mass will be celebrated at 9:00 A.M.

Anuncios Parroquiales 31 de Agosto de 2014 XXII Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Fiesta Patronal 2014 En aquel tiempo, empezó Jesús a explicar a sus discípulos que tenía que ir a Jerusalén y padecer allí mucho por parte de los senadores, sumos sacerdotes y letrados, y que tenía que ser ejecutado y resucitar al tercer día. Pedro se lo llevó aparte y se puso a increparlo: -- No lo permita Dios, Señor! Eso no puede pasarte. Jesús se volvió y dijo a Pedro:-- Quítate de mi vista, Satanás, que me haces tropezar; tú piensas como los hombres, no como Dios. Entonces dijo Jesús a sus discípulos: -- El que quiera venirse conmigo, que se niegue a sí mismo, que cargue con su cruz y me siga. Si uno quiere salvar su vida, la perderá; pero el que la pierda por mí la encontrará. De qué le sirve a un hombre ganar el mundo entero, si arruina su vida? O qué podrá dar para recobrarla? Porque el Hijo del Hombre vendrá entre sus ángeles, con la gloria de su Padre, y entonces pagará a cada uno según su conducta. Queremos agradecer a todos nuestros feligreses y amigos por haber tomado parte en nuestra fiesta patronal. Especialmente agradecemos a todas las familias que hicieron sus donativos de refrescos, agua embotellada, platos, etc. También nuestras mas sinceras gracias a todos los voluntarios que ayudaron donando su tiempo y trabajo para la realización de esta fiesta. SAN MATEO 16-21- 27 El Día del Trabajo, que se celebra en Estados Unidos el primer lunes de septiembre, conmemora oficialmente las contribuciones de los trabajadores a la fortaleza, prosperidad y bienestar del país.

La misa se celebrara a las 9:00 a.m. solamente el día Lunes, 1 de septiembre y en conmemoración a la celebración del Día del Trabajo la rectoría se encontrara cerrada el día 1 de septiembre.

Ogłoszenia Parafialne 31 sierpnia 2014 r. XXII Niedziela Zwykła Jezus zaczął wskazywać swoim uczniom na to, że musi iść do Jerozolimy i wiele cierpieć od starszych i arcykapłanów, i uczonych w Piśmie; że będzie zabity i trzeciego dnia zmartwychwstanie. A Piotr wziął Go na bok i począł robić Mu wyrzuty: Panie, niech Cię Bóg broni! Nie przyjdzie to nigdy na Ciebie. Lecz On odwrócił się i rzekł do Piotra: Zejdź Mi z oczu, szatanie! Jesteś Mi zawadą, bo nie myślisz o tym, co Boże, ale o tym, co ludzkie. Wtedy Jezus rzekł do swoich uczniów: Jeśli kto chce pójść za Mną, niech się zaprze samego siebie, niech weźmie krzyż swój i niech Mnie naśladuje. Bo kto chce zachować swoje życie, straci je; a kto straci swe życie z mego powodu, znajdzie je. Cóż bowiem za korzyść odniesie człowiek, choćby cały świat zyskał, a na swej duszy szkodę poniósł? Albo co da człowiek w zamian za swoją duszę? Albowiem Syn Człowieczy przyjdzie w chwale Ojca swego razem z aniołami swoimi, i wtedy odda każdemu według jego postępowania. Mt 16,21-27 Nasze Patronalne Święto Serdecznie dziękujemy wszystkim osobom które tak dzielnie pracowały w przygotowaniu uroczystości parafialnych związanych z Odpustem jak i z Festiwalem Parafialnym. Dało się zauważyć wielkie zaangażowanie a także to że wszyscy jesteśmy jedną rodziną która się nazywa Parafia Matki Bożej Częstochowskiej w Cicero.
