Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 9
Listening for God's Voice in the Storm Hello Friends, Here we are in late August, nearing the end of a summer unlike any other we have experienced. Many of us pine for the experiences of the previous summer during which graduations, Confirmations, weddings, vacations and other communal gatherings and celebrations were taken for granted, but now seem like a dream. While we have adapted and adjusted to live within the COVID19 pandemic, we have also had to come to terms with our limitations. Trying to make sense of our present reality, we hear from lots of voices who, exercising some authority, are asking us to make sacrifices and conduct ourselves for the greater good. Unfortunately, not all these voices agree with each other and many offer contradictory views. For many, these conflicting voices and views are not exclusive to elected officials and public health authorities. Sometimes differing views manifest themselves within the smaller circle of family and friends and even within ourselves. Our gospel today provides us guidance on how to discern the voices we should be attentive to. Jesus asks his disciples (and us) “who do you say that I am?” (Matt 16:15) Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Son of the living God comes not from human authority but from God directly. For Peter to “hear” God, he had to create a space in his heart to be receptive to God’s message. This required him to block out other distracting voices including his own internal voices of doubt. You may recall the gospel from two Sundays ago when Peter tried to walk on the water toward Jesus but started sinking when he doubted Jesus’ message and authority (Matt 14:2233). Jesus commissions Peter to be the rock of his Church not because Peter came up with the correct answer, but because Peter was willing to see past the limitations of human authority and seek the greater wisdom that only God can provide. Listening for God’s voice amidst our distractions and doubts is not easy. The demands of juggling work, school and family often within the physical confines of isolation within our homes does not seem to allow for any time for us to hear God’s voice. Also, we have become so accustomed to the constant barrage of news and social media that it is difficult for us to spiritually “sit still.” Like Peter, we are invited to listen for the authentic voice of God for the answers that will guide us through the current storm we are experiencing. Doing this requires setting aside some part of the day for prayer and reflection. This will seem like an impossible task especially for those of you with children at home just starting up the fall term having to start the school year via online and virtual instruction. Bishop Robert Barron, in a homily he shared during a recent Confirmation liturgy, suggested a simple but powerful prayer. Whether you are experiencing a moment of happiness or a time of great challenge, praying “Come Holy Spirit” is an effective way of inviting God into your life. May the Holy Spirit help us all to discern and encounter the authentic voice of God to guide us to be true disciples. Siempre Adelante,
Deacon Joe and Kim Torti

Prayer Life
Reflection questions for every gathering around any table. Matthew 16:1320 ~ On this rock, I will build my church. Today’s Gospel is about identity. Jesus gives Simon the name Peter as the “rock,” the foundation of the Church. And Jesus reveals his true self. How difficult is it to you to reveal your true self? What holds you back from being who God created you to be?

Becoming Catholic
Virtual Courtyard Dear parish family, Perhaps the hardest part of the covidquarantine is missing everyone’s beautiful smiling faces and getting those warm greetings from one another. We don’t need to settle for that. We can be in touch. Join our virtual courtyard! Please send a video with your personal greeting. Say your name and a brief statement about • how you are doing, • or what you miss about the church, • or what you are looking forward to when we return, • or a greeting to church friends and family. Our new and amazing tech team will share videos on Sundays before or after our livestream Mass, on our parish website and social media, or with our weekly bulletin. A few tips for success, as you record your 5 to 60second video: • landscape – long left to right (not portrait – tall up and down), • close enough so that the people or person fill the screen, • 1080 HD, • mp4 format, • and upload your video at www.padreserra.org/courtyard or send to [email protected], subject: Virtual Courtyard. Let’s stay in touch! I can’t wait to see you and hear your greetings! Siempre adelante, Fr. Patrick
In the Courtyard
• We continue celebrating Mass outdoors in the Serra Center’s backyard this Saturday and Sunday. Registration is not required. The Mass schedule: ◦ Saturday, 6:00 pm Mass on the Grass ◦ Sunday, 10:00 am Livestreamed Mass at www.padreserra.org/mass or www.youtube.com/psptv ◦ Sunday, 6:00 pm Mass on the Grass • Please do not walk up or down the hillside. • Maintain social distance all the way to your seat. • Be sure to wear a face mask and sanitize your hands. • We have 220 of our black chairs. If you want the greatest safety at the Mass on the Grass, bring your own lawn or beach chairs, and sit at a greater distance. • Neither the state of California nor the archdiocese have placed any age restrictions for participating. They both heavily recommend people over 65 not attend, especially if you smoke or have high blood pressure, diabetes, respiratory system disease, or cardiovascular disease. We are looking forward to seeing you online and in the backyard!
“It is not enough to say we are Christians. We must live the faith not only with words but with our actions” Pope Francis
