in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
R. Amen.
FIRST READING
A reading from the Book of Wisdom (12:13, 16-19)
(You give repentance for sins)
There is no god besides you who have the care of all, that you need
show you have not unjustly condemned. For your might is the source
of justice; your mastery over all things makes you lenient to all. For you
show your might when the perfection of your power is disbelieved; and
in those who know you, you rebuke temerity. But though you are master
of might, you judge with clemency, and with much lenience you
govern us; for power, whenever you will, attends you. And you taught
your people, by these deeds, that those who are just must be kind; and
you gave your children good ground for hope that you would permit
repentance for their sins.
—The Word of the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM (86:5-6, 9-10, 15-16)
R. Lord, you are good and forgiving. (Psalm 86:5a)
You, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in kindness to all
who call upon you. Hearken, O
Lord, to my prayer and attend to
the sound of my pleading. (R)
All the nations you have made
shall come and worship you, O
Lord, and glorify your name.
For you are great, and you do
wondrous deeds; you alone are
God. (R)
You, O Lord, are a God merciful
and gracious, slow to anger,
abounding in kindness and fidelity.
Turn toward me, and have pity
on me; give your strength to your
servant. (R)
SECOND READING
A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans (8:26-27)
(The Spirit intercedes with inexpressible groanings)
Brothers and sisters: The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness; for we
do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes
with inexpressible groanings. And the one who searches hearts knows
what is the intention of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the holy
ones according to God’s will.
—The Word of the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.
The Liturgy of the Word
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION (cf. Matthew 11:25)
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to
little ones the mysteries of the kingdom. (R)
GOSPEL
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew (13:24-43)
(Let them grow together until harvest)
Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds, saying: “The kingdom of heaven
may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was
asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went
off. When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well. The slaves
of the householder came to him and said, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed
in your field? Where have the weeds come from?’ He answered, ‘An enemy has
done this.’ His slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ He
replied, ‘No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with
them. Let them grow together until harvest; then at harvest time I will say to
the harvesters, “First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but
gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
He proposed another parable to them. “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard
seed that a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet
when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the ‘birds
of the sky come and dwell in its branches.’”
He spoke to them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that
a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole
batch was leavened.”
All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables. He spoke to them only in
parables, to fulfill what had been said through the prophet:
I will open my mouth in parables,
I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundation of the world.
Then, dismissing the crowds, he went into the house. His disciples approached
him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.” He said in reply,
“He who sows good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the good seed
the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one, and the
enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the
harvesters are angels. Just as weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so
will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will
collect out of his kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers. They will
throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of
teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
Whoever has ears ought to hear.”
—The Gospel of the Lord.
R. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

The Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born
of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God
from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven, (bow your head) and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. (lift your head)
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death
and was buried, and rose againon the third day in accordance with the
Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand
of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the
dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from
the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored
and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism
for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of
the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen
PRAYER Over The Offerings
Let us pray (pause)
The Liturgy of the Eucharist
O God, who in the one perfect sacrifice
brought to completion varied offerings
of the law, accept, we pray, this
sacrifice from your faithful servants
and make it holy, as you blessed the
gifts of Abel, so that what each has
offered to the honor of your majesty
may benefit the salvation of all.
Through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
COMMUNION ANTIPHON
(cf. Psalm 111 (110):4-5)
The Lord, the gracious, the merciful,
has made a memorial of his wonders;
he gives food to those who fear him.
July 19, 2020 | Page 5
An act of spiritual communion
*this is to be prayed at the time when we would normally receive communion*
My Jesus, I believe that you are in
the blessed sacrament. I love you
above all things and I long for you in
my soul. since I cannot now receive
you sacramentally, come at least spiritually
into my heart. as though you
have already come, I embrace you
and unite myself entirely to you; never
permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.
PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
Let us pray (pause)
Graciously be present to your people,
we pray, O Lord, and lead those you
have imbued with heavenly mysteries
to pass from former ways to newness
of life.
Through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail, Mary, full of grace,the Lord is with thee.Blessed art
thou among womenand blessed is the fruit of thywomb,
Jesus.Holy Mary, Mother of God,pray for us sinners,now
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Prayer to St. Michael
St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against
the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly
pray; and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of
God, thrust into Hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl about the
world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Parish Notes
Annual Parish Festival
The 2020 Parish Festival has been
cancelled due to the ongoing
pandemic. This also includes the
Attic Treasures Sale. Thank you for your
understanding and ongoing support
of St. Rose of Lima Parish.
Weekend and
Weekday Masses
Over the last few weeks, I have noticed
more and more people are coming late
to mass. This is a common practice at
many churches and at times is understandable.
Under the current circumstances
of having to check people in
and take temperatures, I am asking
the volunteers to lock the doors and
close off the lot once mass begins. This
was clearly communicated months
ago, and most people were happy to
follow. But as time has progressed,
some are slipping and showing up
even 10 minutes late. Our volunteers
also attend mass and this practice is an
unnecessary burden to those who so
generously give of their time so that we
can attend mass safely . Beginning this
weekend, the doors to the church will
be locked or the lot closed once mass
begins. Thank you for your attention to
this matter.
SPEED BUMPS
Over the course of this past year we
have had a problem with the public
using our parking lot to cut through
to South Bay Rd. from Main Street
or from Main Street to South Bay Rd.
Many times cars speed through the lot,
even during school hours. In an effort
to stop this, we began to close most of
the entrance/exits. Recently the North
Syracuse Fire Department requested
we open some of them for easier
access in case of emergency. So as a
result, the only option we have left is to
install movable speed bumps to slow
the traffic down. Please make sure to
slow down to 5 mph when approaching
a speed bump. Thank you for your
understanding and cooperation as
we try to keep all our parishioners and
visitors to St. Rose of Lima safe.

Saint of the Week
St. James The Apostle
(d. 44)
This James is the brother of John the Evangelist. The two were
called by Jesus as they worked with their father in a fishing
boat on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus had already called another
pair of brothers from a similar occupation: Peter and Andrew.
“He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of
Zebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending
their nets. Then he called them. So they left their father
Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed
him” (Mark 1:19-20).
James was one of the favored three who had the privilege of witnessing the Transfiguration, the raising to life of the daughter of Jairus, and the
agony in Gethsemani.
Two incidents in the Gospels describe the temperament of this man and his brother. Saint Matthew tells that their mother came—Mark says it was
the brothers themselves—to ask that they have the seats of honor in the kingdom. “Jesus said in reply, ‘You do not know what you are asking. Can
you drink the cup that I am going to drink?’ They said to him, ‘We can’” (Matthew 20:22). Jesus then told them they would indeed drink the cup and
share his baptism of pain and death, but that sitting at his right hand or left was not his to give—it “is for those for whom it has been prepared by
my Father” (Matthew 20:23b). It remained to be seen how long it would take to realize the implications of their confident “We can!”
The other disciples became indignant at the ambition of James and John. Then Jesus taught them all the lesson of humble service: The purpose of
authority is to serve. They are not to impose their will on others, or lord it over them. This is the position of Jesus himself. He was the servant of
all; the service imposed on him was the supreme sacrifice of his own life.
On another occasion, James and John gave evidence that the nickname Jesus gave them—“sons of thunder”—was an apt one. The Samaritans would
not welcome Jesus because he was on his way to hated Jerusalem. “When the disciples James and John saw this they asked, ‘Lord, do you want us to
call down fire from heaven to consume them?’ Jesus turned and rebuked them…” (Luke 9:54-55).
James was apparently the first of the apostles to be martyred. “About that time King Herod laid hands upon some members of the church to harm
them. He had James, the brother of John, killed by the sword, and when he saw that this was pleasing to the Jews he proceeded to arrest Peter
also” (Acts 12:1-3a).
This James, sometimes called James the Greater, is not to be confused with James the Lesser or with the author of the Letter of James and the
leader of the Jerusalem community.
Reflection
The way the Gospels treat the apostles is a good reminder of what holiness is all about. There is very little about their virtues as static possessions,
entitling them to heavenly reward. Rather, the great emphasis is on the Kingdom, on God’s giving them the power to proclaim the Good News.
As far as their personal lives are concerned, there is much about Jesus’ purifying them of narrowness, pettiness, fickleness.
