August 12, 2018 - 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time By Peg Ekerdt

Introduction

When given seemingly impossible tasks or if we carry burdens of fear and doubt, the Lord does not abandon us. When we question the presence of the Lord in the midst of our very human struggles, he reminds us that he is the living bread that came down from heaven. If we taste and see the goodness of the Lord, if we eat this bread and fervently ask to become what we receive, then anger will dissipate in our lives. The marks of faith in Jesus — kindness, forgiveness and compassion will define our lives.

Prayer of the Faithful

Let us pray for the needs of this community and for our world.

For the church, for grace to recognize the Bread of Life as the center of our lives; for faithfulness to live as bread for all the world ... we pray, For citizens and leaders alike, for steadfast resolve to never give up on the work of peace; peace found in dialogue and compromise — in our homes, in our cities and in our world ... we pray

For those filled with bitterness, for those who struggle to be free of anger, for grace to forgive ourselves and others; to openness to the Spirit who helps us live as the beloved children of God ... we pray

For all who hunger for food, for those who hunger for justice to find ways to feed the hungry of our world, to ensure that all humanity has enough to live in dignity ... we pray

For students who begin a new academic year, here at home and on college campuses, for parents who send them forth ... we pray

For the sick of our parish community, for those who daily face depression or addiction, for all who have asked for our prayers ... we pray

PRAYER: Bread of life, source of courage and

hope, we offer you these spoken prayers and the intentions that we carry in our hearts. Make us mindful of those who hunger for food and attention, for work and dignity. We ask this in the name of Jesus, your Son. Amen

Wednesday August 15th

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

This solemnity celebrates the bodily taking up of the

Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven at the end of her earthly

life. This doctrine was dogmatically defined in 1950 by

Pope Pius XII, but accounts of the assumption of Mary

into heaven survive in apocryphal narratives from third

and fourth centuries. Celebrated as early as the fifth

cen-tury, this feast became official in the ninth cencen-tury, with

the additions of a vigil and octave feast. May we offer

our praise and thanks for Christ’s promise that we too will

be received into God’s paradise. †

PRAYER FOR

PEACE OF MIND

Kneeling at your feet, sweet Mother of God and

Queen of Peace, I, your loving child, confidently turn

to you in my need, seeking your intercession for peace

of mind and comfort to my troubled heart. (Here

mention your petition) O listen to me, dear Heavenly

Mother. Come to my aid and refuse me not as I cry to

you. For you are my mother, and you fail no one who

has recourse to you, O Consoler of the afflicted, o

Queen of Peace. Amen.

<<Remember that you have only one

soul; that you have only one death to

die; that you have only one life, which

is short and has to be lived by you alone;

and there is only one Glory, which is

eternal. If you do this, there will be many

things about which you care nothing.>>

“Eu sou o pão vivo descido do céu. Quem comer deste pão viverá eternamente. E o pão que eu darei é a minha carne dada para a vida do mundo”

XIX Dom TC (Ano B): – 1Rs 19,4-8; Salmo 34(33); Efésios 4,30-5,2; João 6,41-51

O evangelho continua o discurso sobre o pão da vida. Os ouvintes de Jesus começaram a murmurar porque ele dissera: Eu sou o pão que desceu do céu. Durante a travessia no deserto, o povo

murmurava por causa da falta de alimentos e não confiava em Deus, que proporcionava o maná (Ex 16,2s). As origens de Jesus, o filho de José, cujo pai e mãe eram conhecidos, dificultam seu

acolhimento como dom amoroso do Pai. O mistério da pessoa de Jesus, a Palavra que se fez carne (1,14), ultrapassa o conhecimento humano. A expressão eu sou (6,41.48) evoca a revelação do nome de Deus (Ex 3,14) e sublinha a origem divina de Jesus. A adesão a Jesus é dom do Pai: Ninguém pode vir a mim, se o Pai que me enviou não o atrair. A promessa que todos serão instruídos por Deus (6,45; cf. Is 54,13; Jr 31,33-34) realiza-se em quem ouve a palavra de Jesus e age de acordo com o seu projeto (cf. 1,18; 3,33).

Jesus, o único que viu o Pai, conduz à vida eterna aqueles que acreditam. O maná que sustentou os israelitas prefigura o alimento oferecido por Jesus, o pão da vida. Jesus encarnou-se, assumiu a humanidade e se entregou como o verdadeiro alimento para a vida, que vence a morte. Assim, ele tornou-se o Cordeiro de Deus que tira o pecado do mundo (1,29).

Na primeira leitura, Elias é fortalecido pelo Deus da libertação que escuta o clamor do oprimido (cf. Ex 3,7), alimenta e conduz a caminhada: Levanta-te e come! O salmista convida a provar e ver como é bom o Senhor. Na segunda leitura, o Cristo que nos amou e se entregou por nós renova em nós o amor, a bondade, a compaixão, o perdão mútuo.

Oração

Mostra, Deus da vida,

o teu bem-querer a esta comunidade reunida

e dirige o povo que te reconhece como pastor e guia. Manifesta a tua misericórdia sobre toda a tua criação e ajuda-nos a preservar a terra

para que todos os seres criados tenham vida em abundância.

Oremos em nome de Jesus, nosso Senhor. Amém.
