TWENTY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
KEEPING OUR COMMITMENTS
In the musical Fiddler on the Roof, the husband, Tevye, whose marriage was arranged
years and years before, wants to know if his wife really loves him. Was their marriage just
an arrangement, a deal? Did his wife, after all these years, ever love him? Does she still?
We need to know if our loving commitments stick. We need to be reminded and
reaffirmed. In the first reading, Joshua, Moses’ successor, needed to know if the people
would remain faithful to their covenant with the Lord. Joshua was going to lead them to a
new life—a settled life. Would they be faithful?
Jesus, who identified himself as the very life of his disciples’ life, needed to know: Will you also go away
or will you stay? We do not often see Jesus this vulnerable. Peter and the apostles chose to stay. What will
we do?
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — Joshua challenges the Israelites to serve either the Lord or other gods. They choose the
Lord (Joshua 24:1-2a, 15-17, 18b).
Psalm — Taste and see the goodness of the Lord (Psalm 34).
Second Reading — Paul reflects on how husbands and wives should reverence and love each other
(Ephesians 5:21-32 [2a, 25-32]).
Gospel — Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life (John 6:60-69).

FAITH FORMATION
What is Faith Formation? Also known as
CCD, and religious education, but why do
we call it Faith Formation now?
Faith formation is catechesis (teaching the
faith) which aims deepen people’s contact
with Jesus Christ via educational and
enrichment opportunities. Designed to
touch the intellect as well as the heart, this
process help people live and experience a
more Christ-centered life.
The mission of Saint Joseph Faith
Formation office, is to provide effective
ways of catechesis for people of all ages
and backgrounds, and in doing so we
create a connection to the new
evangelization envisioned by Second
Vatican Council, the work of recent Popes,
and the Catechism of the Catholic Church,
which open the door to on-going
conversion and a deep sense of a faith.
Ultimately, faith formation is oriented
toward the question: How do I practically
and authentically live the Catholic faith?
At St. Joseph’s, groups like the RCIA,
Bible study, adult faith formation meetings,
Sunday Session Kinder through 8th grade
and High School Faith Development, are
the tools to help us better understand the
heart and mind of Jesus Christ and His
sacrament, the Catholic Church. And in so
doing, we are better able to share with
others, to evangelize, our understanding of
our Catholic faith.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
How do I register or sign up for these
groups? Start by calling or email Erika at
(650) 691-1525 she can guide you to the
group that best fits your needs.
Our Sunday Session Kinder through 8th
grade now has Open Enrollment. You
may download a student registration
packet at the parish website. All forms
may be turned into the parish office on
Wednesdays from 1:30pm to 7pm. Fees

VIGESIMO PRIMER DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
GUARDANDO NUESTROS COMPROMISOS
En la obra musical El violinista en el tejado, el esposo, Tevye, cuyo matrimonio
había sido planificado por otros muchos años atrás, quiere saber si su esposa de
veras lo ama. ¿Fue su matrimonio solamente un arreglo, un contrato? Después de
tantos años, ¿llegó su mujer a quererlo? ¿Lo quiere todavía?
Necesitamos saber si nuestros compromisos son duraderos. Necesitamos que
nos lo recuerden y reafirmen. En la primera lectura, Josué, el sucesor de Moisés, necesitaba saber si el pueblo
iba a mantenerse fiel a su alianza con el Señor. Josué iba a llevarlos a una nueva vida –una vida estable.
¿Serían fieles?
Jesús, habiéndose identificado como la fuente de vida de sus discípulos, necesitaba saber. ¿Ustedes van a
irse también o van a quedarse? Pocas veces vemos a Jesús tan vulnerable. Pedro y los apóstoles escogieron
quedarse. ¿Qué vamos a hacer nosotros?
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Josué urge a los israelitas a que sirvan a Dios o a los otros dioses (Josué 24:1-2a, 15-17, 18b).
Salmo — Haz la prueba y verás qué bueno es el Señor (Salmo 34 [33]).
Segunda lectura — Pablo reflexiona cómo los esposos y esposas deberán darse amor y reverencia mutua
(Efesios 5:21-32 [2a, 25-32]).
Evangelio — Después de hablar de dar su carne a comer, muchos de los discípulos de Jesús se alejaron. Los
Doce escogieron permanecer con él: “Maestro, ¿a quién acudiremos?” (Juan 6:60-69).
