Vigésimo Cuarto Domingo Del Tiempo Ordinario

WELCOMING ALL AND FORMING DISCIPLES We are a family united in our Catholic Faith

that welcomes all God’s children forming disciples by continuing Christ’s mission of Love, Service, and Education.

At this he turned around and, looking at his disciples, rebuked

Peter and said, "Get behind me, Satan. You are thinking not as God

does, but as human beings do." He summoned the crowd with his

disciples and said to them, "Whoever wishes to come after me must

deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me." - Mk 8:33-34

Twenty-Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time We know the signs of defeat: slumped shoulders, downcast eyes, a chastened demeanor. For those of us sincerely trying 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 Peter: "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 predicts the Passion, "Peter took him aside and began to rebuke 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."
