22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time The Liturgy of the Word First Reading Book of Prophet Jeremiah 20:7-9 You duped me, O LORD, and I let myself be duped; you were too strong for me, and you triumphed. All the day I am an object of laughter; everyone mocks me. Whenever I speak, I must cry out, violence and outrage is my mes-sage; the word of the LORD has brought me derision and reproach all the day. I say to myself, I will not mention him, I will speak in his name no more. But then it becomes like fire burning in my heart, impris-oned in my bones; I grow weary holding it in, I cannot endure it. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Responsorial Psalm My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. Second Reading Letter of St. Paul to the Romans 12:1-2
I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Gospel The holy Gospel according to Matthew 16: 21-27
Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly from the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised. Then Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him, “God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you.” He turned and said to Peter, “Get be-hind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do." Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For who-ever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life? For the Son of Man will come with his an-gels in his Father’s glory, and then he will repay all according to his conduct.” The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. Caring For Friends ~ We continue to collect
food for Caring For Friends and we thank you for your dedication to this ministry. If you would like to help out, it is simple. Just add an extra portion to your family meal, freeze it in the trays we provide, and bring it to the freezer located in the alcove between the church and rectory here at Saint Cecilia. Our freezer hours are open every day from 8:30am to 4:00pm.

FOCUS: Trust in and follow the way of Jesus.
Peter can be excused for think-ing as a human does, for he is human! But what gets him in trouble is his mistaken idea that he knows better than Jesus—that he knows better how Jesus ought to carry out his mission. This is reminiscent of the Fall: Pride in one’s own knowledge over that of God’s. We’re all susceptible to that, and Jesus re-minds Peter—and us—that his way is the way. All we need to do is trust, and follow. LITURGY OF THE WORD: Jeremiah accuses the Lord of duping him, for his prophecies are met with laughter and mocking, derision and reproach. Paul encourages the Romans to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice. In the Gospel, Jesus reveals that he must suffer greatly, and Peter attempts to dis-suade him. Jesus accuses Peter of thinking not as God does, but as human beings do. He then tells his disciples that in order to follow him, they must take up their cross. REFLECTION: It is clear we can’t take the cross out of our religion. We can’t take it our of our daily consciousness either. We may not suffer on the same kind of cross Jesus did, or be martyred the way so many who have followed him have been. But still, Jesus tells us we must each take up our cross and follow him – and the cross costs. The cross is not simply something we wear as an accessory around our necks. The cross will cost us if we follow what Paul tells us today. So we ask ourselves:
Do I wear a cross around my neck or have one on the wall of a room at home?
Why? What does that visible symbol of Christ’s suffering mean to me?
How does it affect my daily life – what I do and the decisions I make?

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my
soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacra-mentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I em-brace You as if You were already there and unite my-self wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

The Intentional Rosary (from A Minute in the Church by Gus Lloyd)
There are a number of variations to pray-ing the rosary. Here is one that may have a great impact on your prayer life.
For every Hail Mary associated with one of the five mysteries (fifty Hail Marys in all), you pray for a special intention. One of the fears that people who have never tried this have is that they won’t be able to think of fifty things to pray for. Here is some advice.
Start with your family members—parents, whether they are living or deceased, siblings, children, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, etc. This is a great oppor-tunity to pray for those you haven’t remembered to pray for in some time.
After your family, pray for your friends, co-workers, people from church, organizations you are involved in. Pray for friends from your past that maybe you haven’t brought to mind in a long time. Oh, and pray for your enemies.
Pray for our nation, our elected officials, police and first responders, military families and all those who serve our nation and our communities. If you still have beads left over, pray for your priests, bishop, deacons, sisters and brothers and all religious. Pray for our Holy Father. In doing this, you will probably run out of beads before you run out of prayers. Try it and see what a blessing this can be in your life!
We are sad to have to say ‘Good-bye’ to Patricia Lewis, our Music Director at Saint Cecilia Church. Since 1999, Pat has been playing the organ at Church for our Sunday Masses, directing the Adult Singing Choir and the Bell Choir and helping with the Youth Choir. Pat has developed so many friendships during these years and we will all miss her. Prior to coming to Saint Cecilia Parish, Pat worked at St. Hugh of Cluny, Visitation, St. Joseph in Cheltenham and St. Justin in Penn Valley. So you can see that music has been and will continue to be an important part of her life. We thank her for all that she has done in our parish and wish her well as she takes on the next chapter of her life. Pat isn’t leaving Fox Chase, so you will continue to see her at Mass in St. Cecilia Church. Let us keep Pat in our prayers and whenever you see her, say a ‘Thank You’ for all that she did for us.
Permanent Diaconate Info Night (on Zoom) Lay men of the Archdiocese (above the age of 29) are invited to an online information session to learn about the vocation of the Permanent Deacon in the Church the process of discernment and formation for the Permanent Diaconate. No commitment is required to attend. After the introductory talk there will be time for Q&A. Please register for this webinar at archphila.org/deacon.

It is with great sadness that Miss Ursula Begley is announcing her retirement from Saint Cecilia School. Miss Begley has been teaching 6th grade since 1989 ~ a total of 32 years! The joy of her life has been teaching students and it is very difficult to walk away from this task of love as you can imagine. She is hoping to continue in this field by tutoring.
It is because of her students, families and faculty that she remained in our school for so many years. We loved her and she loved us!! It has indeed been a labor of love and she formed many friendships along the way.
Many of her students will remember her motto of ‘Read, Read, Read’ along with her constant remind-er of extending Kindness to everyone by taking a walk in someone else’s shoes.
Ursula will surely be missed, but never forgotten. Please keep her in your prayers as she begins the next chapter in her teaching career.
