"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."

LECTIONARY READINGS & REFLECTIONS

Monday, August 21— Sunday, August 27, 2017

MONDAY: Jgs 2:11-19 Mt 19:16-22

St. Pius X, Pope

Joseph Sarto was born in humble circumstances at Riese,

a small village in Venetia, on June 2, 1835. He was successively

curate, parish priest, bishop of Mantua, Patriarch of Venice —

offices to which his keen intelligence, hard work and great piety

caused him to be quickly promoted. He was elected Pope on Au-

gust 4, 1903, and took the name of Pius X. As chief pastor of the

Church he displayed untiring self-sacrifice and great energy; he

was an intrepid defender of the purity of Christian doctrine. He

realized to the full the value of the liturgy as the prayer of the

Church and the solid basis that it furnishes for the devotion of

Christian people; he worked for the restoration of the worship of

the Church, especially plainchant, so that Christian people, as he

put it, might find beauty in their public prayer. He spared no effort

to propagate the practice, so great an aid to holiness, of early, fre-

quent and daily communion. He died August 20, 1914 and was

canonized on May 29, 1954. (Catholicculture.org)

TUESDAY: Jgs 6:11-24a Mt 19:23-30

The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The faithful, under the guidance of an unerring Catholic

instinct, have ever recognized the queenly dignity of the Mother

of "The King of kings and Lord of lords": the Fathers, the Doctors

of the Church, Popes, down through the centuries, have given au-

thoritative expression to this truth and the crowning testimony to

this common belief is to be found clearly expressed in the won-

ders of art and in the profound teaching of the liturgy. In their turn

theologians have shown the fitting nature of this title of Queen as

applied to the Mother of God, since she was so closely associated

with the redemptive work of her Son and is the Mediatrix of all

graces. Pius XII, by his encyclical letter of October 11, 1954,

granted the unanimous desire of the faithful and their pastors and

instituted the feast of the Queenship of Mary, giving sanction thus

to a devotion that was already paid by the faithful throughout the

world to the sovereign Mother of heaven and earth. (Catholicculture.org)

WEDNESDAY: Jgs 9:6-15 Mt 20:1-16

St. Rose of Lima, Virgin Vaik, son of Geza,

The first canonized saint of the Western Hemisphere,

Rose of Lima (1586-1617) might also be considered a type of the

special vocation of contemplative-in-the-world. Inspired by the

example of St. Catherine of Siena, Rose became a Dominican lay

tertiary and devoted herself to works of active charity while living

a life of extreme austerity. She longed to evangelize the Indians,

not at all discouraged by the thought that they would probably kill

her. St. Martin de Porres and St. John Masias were among her

friends. She died at the age of 31, praying, "Lord, increase my

sufferings, and with them increase your love in my

heart." (Catholicculture.org)

KNOWING YOUR FAITH...

THURSDAY: Rv 21:9b-14 Jn 1:45-51

St. Bartholomew, Apostle

St. Bartholomew, a doctor in the Jewish law, was a dear

friend of St. Philip the Apostle. Because Bartholomew was a man

"in whom there was no guile," his mind was open to the truth. He

went willingly with Philip to see Christ, and recognized the Savior

immediately as the Son of God. After having received the gifts of

the Holy Spirit on the first Pentecost, Bartholomew evangelized

Asia Minor, northwestern India, and Greater Armenia. In the latter

country, while preaching to idolaters, he was arrested and con-

demned to death. (Catholicculture.org)

FRIDAY: Ru 1:1, 3-6, 14b-16, 22 Mt 22:34-40

St. Louis; St. Joseph Calasanz, Priest

St. Louis IX, (1215-1270) who became King of France at

the age of twelve, had been religiously brought up by his mother,

Blanche of Castile. Throughout his life he remained deeply devout

and as a king his conduct was that of a real saint. He devoted him-

self to the affairs of his kingdom and to those of Christendom and

was a great peacemaker — kings and princes constantly sought his

aid in settling disputes. He was humble and upright, helpful to the

needy and in person nursed lepers and the sick. St. Louis gave to all

the example of a life overflowing with charity and sovereign jus-

tice. He was a tertiary of the Order of the Holy Trinity and Captives

(the Trinitarians) and a strong supporter of the Franciscan Orders

and other mendicant orders as well. A full decade before he died in

Tunis, in honor of the King's support and Catholic manner of life,

St. Bonaventure proposed to the Franciscans' General Chapter that

suffrages be prayed for the King annually (essentially a Feast Day,

as for those already sainted!), the the Chapter approved the pro-

posal three years later. Immediately after Louis IX's death, the

Franciscans began an active campaign for his canonization, and he

was venerated by the Secular Franciscan Order and the Third Order

Regular as protector and advocate as soon as he was canonized. He

died near Tunis, lying on a bed of ashes, during a crusade for the

deliverance of the Holy Land.

St. Joseph Calasanz ((1556-1648) was born in Petralta,

Aragon, and died in Rome. He studied law and theology and was

ordained a priest in 1583. He always showed a great interest in the

religious instruction of children, especially of those who were poor

and neglected. He journeyed to Rome, became a member of the

Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, and opened a free school for

the education of homeless children. In 1602 he founded the Order

of Piarists who were to continue this charitable work among youth.

According to the 1962 Missal of St. John XXIII the Extraordinary

Form of the Roman Rite, St. Joseph's feast is celebrated on August

27. (Catholicculture.org)
