SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR THE 16TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

READING I WIS 12:13-16-19

There is no god besides you who have the care of all, that you

need show you have not unjustly condemned. For your might is

the source of justice; your mastery over all things makes you

lenient to all. For you show your might when the perfection of

your power is disbelieved; and in those who know you, you

rebuke temerity. But though you are master of might, you judge

with clemency, and with much lenience you govern us; for

power, whenever you will, attends you. And you taught your

people, by these deeds, that those who are just must be kind;

and you gave your children good ground for hope that you would

permit repentance for their sins.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 86:5-6, 9-10, 15-16

R. Lord, you are good and forgiving.

You, O LORD, are good and forgiving, abounding in kindness to

all who call upon you. Hearken, O LORD, to my prayer

and attend to the sound of my pleading.

R. Lord, you are good and forgiving.

All the nations you have made shall come and worship you, O

LORD, and glorify your name. For you are great, and you do

wondrous deeds; you alone are God.

R. Lord, you are good and forgiving.

You, O LORD, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger,

abounding in kindness and fidelity. Turn toward me, and have

pity on me; give your strength to your servant.

R. Lord, you are good and forgiving.

READING 2 ROM 8:26-27

Brothers and sisters:

The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know

how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes with

inexpressible groanings. And the one who searches hearts

knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because he intercedes

for the holy ones according to God’s will.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have

revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

GOSPEL MT 13:24-43

Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds, saying: “The

kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good

seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy came

and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off.

When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well.

The slaves of the householder came to him and said, ‘Master,

did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds

come from?’

He answered, ‘An enemy has done this.’ His slaves said to him,

‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ He replied, ‘No, if you

pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them.

Let them grow together until harvest; then at harvest time I will

say to the harvesters, “First collect the weeds and tie them in

bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

He proposed another parable to them. “The kingdom of heaven

is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field.

It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the

largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the ‘birds of the

sky come and dwell in its branches.’”

He spoke to them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is

like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of

wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened.”

All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables. He spoke

to them only in parables, to fulfill what had been said through the

prophet: I will open my mouth in parables, I will announce what

has lain hidden from the foundation of the world.

Then, dismissing the crowds, he went into the house.

His disciples approached him and said, “Explain to us the para-

ble of the weeds in the field.” He said in reply, “He who sows

good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the good

seed the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of

the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil.

The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

Just as weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be

at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and

they will collect out of his kingdom all who cause others to sin

and all evildoers. They will throw them into the fiery furnace,

where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their

Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear.”

Historia de la adoración eucarística: Tercera parte

Desprecio de la Eucaristía en el siglo XIII

Por esos tiempos, sin embargo, no todos participan de la devo-

ción eucarística, y también se dan casos horribles de desafec-

ción a la Presencia real. Veamos, a modo de ejemplo, la infinita

distancia que en esto se produce entre cátaros y franciscanos.

Cayetano Esser, franciscano, describe así el mundo de los pri-

meros:

«En aquellos tiempos, el ataque más fuerte contra el Sacramen-

to del Altar venía de parte de los cátaros [muy numerosos en la

zona de Asís]. Empecinados en su dualismo doctrinal, rechaza-

ban precisamente la Eucaristía porque en ella está siempre en

íntimo contacto el mundo de lo divino, de lo espiritual, con el

mundo de lo material, que, al ser tenido por ellos como materia

nefanda, debía ser despreciado. Por oportunismo, conservaban

un cierto rito de la fracción del pan, meramente conmemorativo.

Para ellos, el sacrificio mismo de Cristo no tenía ningún sentido.

«Otros herejes declaraban hasta malvado este sacramento ca-

tólico. Y se había extendido un movimiento de opinión que

HOLY FAMILY PARISH

HOLY FAMILY PARISHES WILL BE RECEIVING NEW SIGNS!

Holy Family Parish secured new signs for all of our church buildings recently. The LED lighted signs with the Holy Family Parish

logo will be installed at all five locations. They will be installed over the next two months. Digital signs with changing graphics will

be installed at St. John, St. Joseph and Our Lady of Joy. With less traffic on Renton Road it’s difficult to justify the cost for the

digital sign there, and in Oakmont, digital signs are almost never permitted by the ordinances there. However, we will be able to

use the changeable letter sign at SJAN and relocate the one from OLOJ to STI so that we can still have messaging at those

locations. The signs will continue to communicate that we are one parish community with five church buildings and campuses.

HOLY FAMILY PARISH

(Continued from page 3)

rehusaba la Eucaristía, juzgando impuro todo lo que es mate-

rial y proclamando que los “verdaderos cristianos” deben vivir

del “alimento celestial”.

«Teniendo en cuenta este ambiente, se comprenderá por qué,

precisamente en este tiempo, la adoración de la sagrada hos-

tia, como reconocimiento de la presencia real, venía a ser la

señal distintiva más destacada de los auténticos verdaderos

cristianos. El culto de adoración de la Eucaristía, que en ade-

lante irá tomando formas múltiples, tiene aquí una de sus raí-

ces más profundas. Por el mismo motivo, el problema de la

presencia real vino a colocarse en el primer plano de las dis-

cusiones teológicas, y ejerció también una gran influencia en

la elaboración del rito de la Misa.

«Por otra parte, las decisiones del Concilio de Letrán [IV:

1215] nos descubren los abusos de que tuvo que ocuparse

entonces la Iglesia. El llamado Anónimo de Perusa es a este

respecto de una claridad espantosa: sacerdotes que no reno-

vaban al tiempo debido las hostias consagradas, de forma que

se las comían los gusanos; o que dejaban a propósito caer a

tierra el cuerpo y la sangre del Señor, o metían el Sacramento

en cualquier cuarto, y hasta lo dejaban colgado en un árbol del

jardin; al visitar a los enfermos, se dejaban allí la píxide y se

iban a la taberna; daban la comunión a los pecadores públicos

y se la negaban a gentes de buena fama; celebraban la santa

Misa llevando una vida de escándalo público», etc. (Temi spiri-

tuali, Biblioteca Francescana, Milán 1967, 281-282; cf. D. El-

cid, Clara de Asís, BAC pop. 31, Madrid 1986, 193-195).

BAPTISM MINISTRY IN NEED OF VOLUNTEERS

The Holy Family Catholic Baptism Ministry is looking for new volunteers to assist in a variety of areas. We are seeking volunteers

at each parish to serve as Baptism Hosts. A Baptism Host attends a baptism and assists in greeting the family attending, as well

as assists the priest or deacon in gathering materials. Baptisms typically always follow the latest Sunday morning Mass at each

parish and only last about thirty minutes. With enough volunteers, you would only have to serve every other month and only if

there is a scheduled baptism.

Now that we are one parish, it is essential to integrate the many and varied traditions of the five individual

parishes in a cohesive, meaningful expression of our union that can be practiced in all of the Church

buildings. This applies to various practices, in particular, the White Garment Ministry. The expression of the

Baptismal white garment has been varied among our parishes. In order to be receptive to the input of

others, a meeting will be scheduled in the near future.

If you have any questions or if you would be interested in volunteering as a Baptism Host, please contact

Steph Williams by calling the Religious Education Office at 412-793-4511 or email.

SJB Parish Mission Statement

Saint John the Baptist Parish is located in Plum Borough,

Pennsylvania and is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese

of Pittsburgh. As a faith community, we strive to imitate

our patron Saint John the Baptist who led others to Christ.

We are committed to keeping our faith alive and growing

through prayer, sacraments, faith formation and service.

Through evangelization and stewardship we encourage

full and active participation of all members. We hope to

reflect the life and love of Christ by strengthening the faith

of our parishioners while reaching out to all God’s people.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us!

worship, and solidarity, we are building God’s Kingdom in our families and

communities. Nourished by Word and Sacrament, we give ourselves to Christ

and His Church for the greater glory of God our Father.

“The proper glory of God is man fully alive.”
