Jesus: Who do you say that I am?

Last Thursday evening, a joint meeting of the pastoral team, wardens, pastoral council, and liturg

committee was held in the parish hall.We began by doing what Catholics love most to do when they ge

together eat! sharing a delicious potluck supper that reflected the diverse cultures and nations thamake up our parish.We then moved to the rectory and, after a time of prayer, watched together a video o

one of Pope Francis recent homilies: Joy Is a Sign of Christian Freedom, and used this as a springboa

for group sharing on what brings us joy in our faith and what empowers us to share this joy with others.

We then discussed the challenge of the new evangelization placed before us in this Year of Faith.Aga

inspired by Pope Francis Pentecost Vigil homily to the members of lay movements in the Church, w

proposed a three-year journey focused first on the encounter ofJesus, then on deepening a relationsh

with Jesus in Prayerand Sacramental Living, leading to a fuller embrace of what it means to give Witnes

to our faith in the world and share in the mission of the Church.Jesus, Prayer, Witness quite th

program!!

In todays Gospel, Jesus asks the disciples two questions.The first is generic: Who do the crowds say

am?Then he makes it personal: Who do YOU say I am?The world has all different kinds of opinion

about the Catholic Church, about the Christian faith, and even about Jesus.But who do WE say Jesus is

Have we met him and formed a deep friendship with him in his Word, in prayer, in the sacraments, in th

joys and challenges of our daily life?We can only bear witness if we ourselves have had a personal, life

changing encounter with Jesus.To help launch this process and set a fire under us, Fr. Guylain Prince,

dynamic Franciscan preacher and biblical scholar, will be leading our community on a retreat day th

coming Saturday, September 21st

.Please mark this day in your schedules, and plan to join in this excitinevent.Have a wonderful summer!
