Today we celebrate the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time. In the divine economy and our usual economy which we practice every day especially in Ordinary Time, 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 involvement in this matter.
The Eucharistic liturgy, the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, is our willing participation in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
“You are thinking not as God does, but as humans do.”

MY MISSION: When I am the disciple of Christ and the member of his Church I realize this and participate in all matters which concern Him. The Ordinary Time and the Sunday’s Masses are not my challenge but my privilege.
One Main Point
As Jesus’ disciples, we all follow his footsteps of denying ourselves, emptying ourselves to receive the Spirit of love, only then can we accept suffering and the death in accordance to the Father’s plan.

Reflections
- It has been said that the road to the hell is paved with good intentions. Can you name some of your outstanding successes and their driving forces? Are the motivations plainly human thinking?
- What kind of cross are you carrying? How do you carry it? Is there any way to transform suffering into love, love of God and love of one another?
- Are you a cross that others have to bear? Why?
