Gospel Meditation Today, Jesus asks us, “Who do you say that I am?” Caesarea Philippi was named after Caesar who claimed the title “Son of God.” Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Christ (or Messiah), “the Son of the Living God” announces that Jesus, not Caesar, is Son of God. It was presumed that the Messiah was to remove Israel’s enemies and establish God’s kingdom on earth. This is not Jesus’ goal, but the world’s. It is here that Jesus begins his journey to Jerusalem and the Passion. What worldly powers do I need to reject in order to place complete confidence in Jesus? Hoy, Jesús nos pregunta, "¿Quién dirías que soy Yo?" Cesarea de Filipo fue nom-brada después de que César fue proclamado con el título de "Hijo de Dios". La confesión de Pedro de que Jesús es el Cristo (o el Mesías), "El Hijo del Dios Viviente" anuncia que Jesús, no César, es el Hijo de Dios. Se presumía que el Mesías iba a remover a los enemigos de Israel y a establecer el Reino de Dios en la tierra. Ésta no es la meta de Jesús, sino la del mundo. Es aquí donde Jesús comien-za su viaje a Jerusalén y a la Pasión ¿Qué poderes terrenales necesito rechazar para poner mi confianza totalmente en Jesús?

Lighting a candle is a way of extending one’s prayer and showing solidarity with the person on whose behalf the prayer is offered. Prender una vela es una forma de extender nuestra oracion y demostrar solideridad a la persona por la que esta orando

give us, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especial-
ly those who are most in need.”
August 1917 Mary - “Pray, pray very much, and make sacrifices for
sinners; for many souls go to hell, because there are none to sacrifice
themselves and pray for them.”

Aides and Subs Needed!
Please consider helping in the religious education program
this year. Last year we educated over 500 students from kind-
er thru 12th grade and our numbers continue to grow each
year. That takes a lot of volunteers! If you don’t want to
teach, you can still help. We need classroom assistants and
outside safety monitors as well. Please prayerfully consider
helping our church community. This may offer you an op-
portunity to grow in your faith also. To sign up or get more
information please go by the RE volunteer table at the en-
trance of the church. “Jesus said, ‘Let the children come to
me, and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven be-
longs to such as these.” Mathew 19:14 NABRE

21st Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus entrusted the keys of the Kingdom to Peter, who repre-
sents the whole church – all of us. What are those keys? In Mat-
thew’s Gospel they are the Beatitudes. This means that all of us
and each of us are called to be poor in spirit and meek, we are to
hunger and thirst for righteousness; we are to show mercy and be
peacemakers, we will mourn and we will experience persecution.
We are called to love as God loves – without counting the cost
and without exception. How will you witness to God’s love this
week? To whom are you called to show love?
21o. Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Jesús confió las llaves del Reino a Pedro, quien representa a
toda la iglesia — todos nosotros ¿Qué son esas llaves? En el
Evangelio de Mateo son las Bienaventuranzas. Esto significa que
todos y cada uno de nosotros estamos llamados a ser pobres y
mansos de espíritu; tenemos hambre y sed de justicia; debemos
mostrar misericordia y crear paz; nos lamentaremos y experi-
mentaremos persecución. Estamos llamados a amar como Dios
nos ama--- sin contar lo que cueste y sin excepción ¿Cómo será
usted testigo del amor de Dios esta semana? ¿Hacia quién está
usted llamado a demostrar amor?

istered your children for religious edu-
