22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By

followmeToday we celebrate the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time. In the divine economy and our regular economy which we practice every day, we have to select not easy matters but more difficult, not cheap things but more expensive because our master Jesus Christ gave us this kind of example.

Jesus in today’s gospel presents us the divine method of reasoning, when he points at the cross and he rebukes Simon Peter for his human opposition in this matter. Today’s world tells us that we have to live without pain, comfortable and smooth. But we do know that in suffering there is something deeply mysterious, valuable and redemptive.

The Eucharistic liturgy, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, is our willing participation in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is our entrance into sharing together in the life of Jesus Christ, a life that took Him through pain, loss, suffering to death, and then finally to resurrection. God is here in the Mass not to bring us rescue, He is here to bring us resurrection.
