Selflessness or Ego?

Can we afford selfless help for those who need it and are not brave enough to ask for it? For many of us, this is not only a physical problem, but an emotional one. And yet there are those who can break the barrier of shame, the barrier of emotions, reaching out for help and offering help. We divide our society into three groups: the first are those who needed help, the second are those who need help, and the third are those who will need it. It is not only about material help, but also psychological, spiritual, special and medical help. Whatever help we give, we will always feel satisfied. After all, we are more willing to deal with the problems of strangers than our own, or our family’s, because "other people's" problems can be much easier understood and accepted or, on the other hand, unfortunately, ignored. Let us look at the Canaanite woman: her courage and steadfast faith, as well as her belief in the rightness of the request, are exemplary. Wanting to help her child, she accepts the greatest humiliation out of motherly love. The daughter is probably unaware of the limitless sacrifice of the mother who is willing to sacrifice anything to free her child from the yoke of dependence on evil. A mother's love for her child works as a miracle. Lord Jesus says; “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” (Matthew 15:28). This is the miracle of love. The presented problem is timeless and has vital importance. The Lord Jesus initially explains that His mission is limited to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Our own- whether it is their own family or distant relatives - always have priority. Above all, poverty and impoverishment in the immediate vicinity must be tackled. Then comes the concerns of the strangers. The Canaanite woman must have understood this. For God, however, every person is important in every situation, and at the same time their faith and love. This pagan woman experienced the Lord's grace because she showed faith and hope motivated by love for a child. With this in mind, let's be people who do not make any differences in providing help and do not create barriers.

Bezinteresowność czy własne ego?

Czy stać nas na bezinteresowną pomoc dla tych, którzy jej potrzebują, a nie mają na tyle odwagi, by o nią poprosić? Dla wielu z nas to problem nie tylko fizyczny, ale i emocjonalny.

A jednak są tacy, którzy potrafią przełamać barierę wstydu, barierę emocji, wyciągając dłoń po pomoc i z pomocą. Dzielimy się w naszym społeczeństwie na trzy grupy: pierwsza to ci, którzy pomocy potrzebowali, druga – którzy pomocy potrzebują i trzecia – którzy jej będą potrzebować. Nie chodzi tutaj tylko o pomoc materialną, ale także psychologiczną, duchową, specjalistyczną oraz medyczną. Jakiejkolwiek udzielimy, zawsze będziemy odczuwać satysfakcję. Mimo wszystko chętniej zajmujemy się problemami obcych niż swoimi, rodzinnymi, gdyż „cudze” problemy można o wiele łatwiej zrozumieć i zaakceptować lub, niestety, pominąć.

Popatrzmy na kobietę kananejską: jej odwaga i niezłomna wiara, a zarazem przeświadczenie o słuszności prośby są godne naśladowania. Chcąc pomóc swemu dziecku, z matczynej miłości godzi się na największe poniżenie. Córka prawdopodobnie nie zdaje sobie sprawy z bezgranicznej ofiary matki, która jest gotowa poświęcić wszystko, aby uwolnić swe dziecko z jarzma zależności od złego. Miłość matki do dziecka sprawia cud. Pan Jezus mówi; „O niewiasto, wielka jest twoja wiara; niech ci się stanie jak chcesz!” (Mt 15, 28). Oto cud miłości. Przedstawiony problem jest ponadczasowy i ma życiową doniosłość.

Pan Jezus początkowo tłumaczy, że Jego misja ogranicza się do zagubionych owiec z domu Izraela. Swoi – obojętnie, czy chodzi o własną rodzinę, czy o dalszych krewnych – mają zawsze pierwszeństwo. Przede wszystkim należy zaradzić biedzie i ubóstwu w najbliższym otoczeniu. Potem przychodzi kolej na potrzeby obcych. Kobieta kananejska z pewnością to rozumiała. Dla Boga jednak ważny jest każdy człowiek w każdej sytuacji, a równocześnie jego wiara i miłość. Ta pogańska kobieta doświadczyła łaskawości Pana, bo dała dowód wiary i nadziei umotywowanej miłością do dziecka. Pamiętając o tym bądźmy ludźmi, którzy w udzielaniu pomocy nie robią żadnych różnic i nie stwarzają barier.

Readings for The Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading 1 - Isaiah 56: 1, 6-7 Thus says the LORD:

Observe what is right, do what is just;

for my salvation is about to come,

my justice, about to be revealed.

The foreigners who join themselves to the LORD,

ministering to him,

loving the name of the LORD,

and becoming his servants—

all who keep the sabbath free from profanation

and hold to my covenant,

them I will bring to my holy mountain

and make joyful in my house of prayer;

their burnt offerings and sacrifices

will be acceptable on my altar,

for my house shall be called

a house of prayer for all peoples.

Reading 2 - Romans 11:13-15, 29-32 Brothers and sisters:

I am speaking to you Gentiles.

Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles,

I glory in my ministry in order to make my race jealous

and thus save some of them. For if their rejection is the

reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be

but life from the dead?

For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.

Just as you once disobeyed God but have now received

mercy because of their disobedience, so they have now

disobeyed in order that, by virtue of the mercy shown to

you, they too may now receive mercy.

For God delivered all to disobedience,

that he might have mercy upon all.

Alleluia - Matthew 4:23 R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Jesus proclaimed the Gospel of the kingdom

and cured every disease among the people.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel - Matthew 14: 22-33 At that time, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and

Sidon.

And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came

and called out, “Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David!

My daughter is tormented by a demon.”

But Jesus did not say a word in answer to her.

Jesus’ disciples came and asked him,

“Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us.”

He said in reply,

“I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

But the woman came and did Jesus homage, saying,

“Lord, help me.”

He said in reply, “It is not right to take the food of the

children and throw it to the dogs.”

She said, “Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps

that fall from the table of their masters.”

Then Jesus said to her in reply,

“O woman, great is your faith!

Let it be done for

you as you wish.”

And the woman’s

daughter was healed

from that hour.

PAGE 6 THE TWENTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME AUGUST 16, 2020

The Twentieth Week of Ordinary Time God's love belongs to all of us, according to the readings of the Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time. In Isaiah, God promises “my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.” Paul, in his Letter to the Romans, tells us “the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable” and refers to himself as the “apostle to the Gentiles.” In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus hears the pleas of a “foreign” woman, a Canaanite who begs Jesus to heal her daughter. Wednesday is the Memorial of Saint Bernard, abbot and doctor of the Church. Thursday is the Memorial of Saint Pius X, pope. Friday is the Memorial of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We continue reading from the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel. We are treated to some of the best of Ezekiel’s prophesy this week. He is sharp and biting in his calls for conversion and comforting in his prophesy about God's fidelity and mercy, especially in the field of dry bones that come to life. In this week's selection from Matthew's Gospel we read some wonderful words of Jesus about being his follower. Jesus tells a rich, young man to sell what he has and give it to the poor. "Then come, follow me." The man went away with sadness because "he had many possessions." When Jesus tells his disciples how hard it is for the rich to be saved, his disciples worry, but he says "for God all things are possible." Jesus says there will be a great turning of the tables - the last being the first and the first falling to last place. But, he tells them the parable of the landowner that hires workers throughout the day, including the last hours. When he pays them all the same, the workers who worked all day grumbled. Jesus asks, "Are you envious because I am generous?" He adds again, "The last will be first, and the first will be last." A king gives a wedding banquet for his son but many were too busy to come. Others killed the servants who carried the invitation. "Many are invited, but few are chosen.” When asked the greatest commandment he gives the double command of loving God and neighbor. Jesus warns against the self serving ways of the religious elite. He says, "The greatest among you must be your servant." Keys are central to readings for the Twenty-First Sunday of Ordinary Time. The first reading from Isaiah offers the story of the faithful servant Eliakim, who will be given the keys for his master's palace. Paul's brief reading from the Letter to the Romans is a moving prayer filled with awe at the depth and unknowing ways of our Lord. In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus asks his followers what people are saying about him. Then he asks the real question, "Who do you say I am?" Peter's direct answer, "You are the Christ" prompts Jesus' reply that Peter would be given the keys to the kingdom of heaven and would be the rock upon which his church would be built.

Daily Prayer This Week As we go through our everyday life this week, we carry this week's gospels and their vivid descriptions of our relationship with Jesus. What is he asking of us this week? Each day, we begin with the practice of briefly pausing at our bedside to focus the day with a 15-30 second prayer. It is helpful to develop this habit by simply doing it three or four days in a row. Even if I say that I'm half-awake at this time, we can discover what a difference this way of beginning the day can be. With practice, it gets easier to say, "Thank you for this day, Lord. Please, be with me today, especially when I do ______ this morning and this afternoon as I _________ . Give me more patience, love and trust in you." While washing up and dressing, I can expand this prayer, in a simple friend-to-friend conversation with our Lord. This kind of bond or checking-in with our Lord at the beginning of the day, lets a background relationship with develop and grow, while I'm doing many things. It changes my consciousness and takes my fundamental relationship with God and unites and integrates it with the things I'm doing, whether they are pleasant, routine or quite difficult. Throughout the week I might be thinking of what it would mean for me, in my circumstances, to sell what I have, give it to the poor, and really follow Jesus. What is preventing me from following the Lord more completely? Are there "riches" that I know are barriers to my surrendering to God's will more freely? What seems to possess me? Recognizing our lack of freedom in one or another area is the first step in being able to ask for the grace of freedom from the things that possess me - even when I know they are not good for me. We might also ask the Lord to show us what he desires that we be "free for." "Freedom from" is the first part of our relationship. Then, we are free to be sent. What am I being freed for? What loving, what new generosity, what type of self-giving? What neighbor, person in my family, or the poor of the world, am I being called to notice and serve? We might ask the Lord to reveal to us this week how we are called to be servant. We will still do what is on our schedule, respond to all our commitments. The difference will be that we will do it while we are more "in touch" with the Lord. Staying focused and connecting with our Lord throughout the day is at the heart of prayer, "Raising our minds and hearts to God." And, at the end of each day, we give thanks for this gifted presence that day.

You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment.

The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. - Matthew 22

WHY PRAY? 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.

PIERWSZE CZYTANIE

Iz 56,1.6–7 Powszechność zbawienia Czytanie z Księgi proroka Izajasza

Tak mówi Pan: „Za-chowujcie prawo i przestrzegajcie sprawiedliwości, bo moje zbawienie już wnet nadejdzie i moja sprawiedliwość ma się objawić. Cudzoziemców zaś, którzy się przyłączyli do Pana, ażeby Mu służyć i ażeby miłować imię Pana i zostać Jego sługami, wszystkich zachowujących szabat bez pogwałcenia go i trzymających się mocno mojego przymierza, przyprowadzę na moją Świętą Górę i rozweselę w moim domu modlitwy. Całopalenia ich oraz ofiary będą przyjęte na moim ołtarzu, bo dom mój będzie nazwany domem modlitwy dla wszystkich narodów”. Oto Słowo Boże.

PSALM RESPONSORYJNY:

Ps 67,2-3.5 i 8

Niech Bóg się zmiłuje nad nami i nam błogosławi, niech nam ukaże pogodne oblicze. Aby na ziemi znano Jego drogę, Jego zbawienie wśród wszystkich narodów. Niech się narody cieszą i weselą, bo rządzisz ludami sprawiedliwie i kierujesz narodami na ziemi. Niech nam Bóg błogosławi, niech się Go boją wszystkie krańce ziemi.

DRUGIE CZYTANIE

Rz 11,13–15.29–32 Bóg poddał wszystkich nieposłuszeństwu, aby wszystkim okazać miłosierdzie Czytanie z Listu świętego Pawła Apostoła do Rzymian

Bracia: Do was, pogan, mówię: „Będąc apostołem pogan, przez cały czas chlubię się posługiwaniem swoim w tej nadziei, że może pobudzę do współzawodnictwa swoich rodaków i przynajmniej niektórych z nich doprowadzę do zbawienia. Bo jeżeli ich odrzucenie przyniosło światu pojednanie, to czymże będzie ich przyjęcie, jeżeli nie powstaniem ze śmierci do życia? Bo dary łaski i wezwanie Boże są nieodwołalne. Podobnie bowiem jak wy niegdyś byliście nieposłuszni Bogu, teraz zaś z powodu ich nieposłuszeństwa dostąpiliście miłosierdzia, tak i oni stali się teraz nieposłuszni z powodu okazanego wam miłosierdzia, aby i sami w czasie obecnym mogli dostąpić miłosierdzia. Albowiem Bóg poddał wszystkich nieposłuszeństwu, aby wszystkim okazać swe miłosierdzie”. Oto Słowo Boże.

ŚPIEW PRZED EWANGELIĄ:

Mt 4,23

Jezus głosił Ewangelię o królestwie i leczył wszelkie choroby wśród ludu.

EWANGELIA

Mt 15,21–28 Wiara niewiasty kananejskiej Słowa Ewangelii według świętego Mateusza Jezus podążył w strony Tyru i Sydonu. A oto kobieta kananejska, wyszedłszyz tamtych okolic, wołała: „Ulituj się nade mną, Panie, Synu Dawida! Moja córka jest ciężko dręczona przez złego ducha”. Lecz On nie odezwał się do niej ani słowem. Na to zbliżyli się do Niego uczniowie i prosili: „Odpraw ją, bo krzyczy za nami”. Lecz On odpowiedział: „Jestem posłany tylko do owiec, które poginęły z domu Izraela”. A ona przyszła, upadła przed Nim i prosiła: „Panie, dopomóż mi”. On jednak odparł: „Niedobrze jest zabrać chleb dzieciom i rzucić psom”. A ona odrzekła: „Tak, Panie, leczi szczenięta jedzą z okruszyn, które spadają ze stołu ich panów”. Wtedy Jezus jej odpowiedział: ,,O niewiasto, wielka jest twoja wiara; niech ci się stanie, jak chcesz”. Od tej chwili jej córka została uzdrowiona. Oto słowo Pańskie.
