LIVE THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK

Who do you say Jesus is? Some look to Jesus as the re-

liever of pain and suffering. We want to believe in a God

who will take away the discomfort we are feeling and

make things better. Frustration and even a lessening of

faith can happen when we realize this is not happening.

Jesus is the Christ. As the Christ, he is the one who shows

us how to keep both the joys and sorrows of life in bal-

ance. There is no hopping, skipping, or jumping over suf-

fering. It is a part of life. In addition to the physical pain

we are asked to endure, living the Gospel can bring rejec-

tion and suffering as well. Jesus the Christ is the way, the

truth, and the life. Do we have the desire and faith to fol-

low him?

Blessed Gathering! The Parish picnic was a high success

with over 150 parishioners in atten-

dance! The children had games and

prizes along with learning of religious articles in the

Chapel. Parishioners got to catch up with friends,

wind down from a busy summer, have fun and share

great food. Thank you all for coming! Especially

Thank You to all our Volunteers (Adults, Teens and

Children) and than you to those who brought dishes.

So in Christ, we, though many, form one body,

and each member belongs to all the others. Romans 12:5

GOSPEL MEDITATION

September 16, 2018 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time We know the signs of defeat: slumped shoulders, downcast

eyes, a chastened demeanor. For those of us sincerely try-

ing to follow Jesus, defeat is inevitable. We commit to

spending more time with our kids, but that one project still

looms. We resolve to be a good person, but our selfishness

strikes again. It can be easy to get discouraged over our

moral failures. Today's Gospel is a small, intriguing look at

this process in the life of St. Peter.

First, Jesus' questions get the Apostles thinking about his

true identity. This results in a confession of faith from Pe-

ter: "You are the Christ." Eager faith characterizes Peter's

relationship with Jesus. First to follow, first to leap out of

the boat, and, we know, first to deny. It's the latter tendency

that manifests itself later in the Gospel. When Jesus pre-

dicts the Passion, "Peter took him aside and began to re-

buke him." Jesus' rebuke in turn is stinging. While Peter's

caution to Jesus is in private, Jesus intentionally turns back

to the others as he declares, "Get behind me, Satan. You are

thinking not as God does, but as human beings do."

Like Peter, we rarely get it right all the time. Peter under-

stood that Jesus was the Messiah, but he had a false concept

of what that Messiah would accomplish. Jesus wants to

make sure the rest of the disciples don't follow down the

wrong road. The Christian life is a difficult one, as Jesus

later tells the crowds. "'Whoever wishes to come after me

must deny himself.'" Yet the mercy of God is abundant. If

we renew our trust and our efforts after a fall, every defeat

is transformed into redemptive grace. "Whoever loses his

life for my sake ? will save it."
