Recommitting Ourselves to Christ

{Jesus} asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”

They said in reply, “John the Baptist; Others, Elijah;

Still others, “One of the prophets has arisen.”

Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

Peter said in reply, “The Messiah of God.”         Luke 9:18:20

     Peter was the first disciple to profess that Jesus was the Messiah.  Even though he was impulsive and imperfect, Peter could still see clear that Jesus was uniquely important.  He denied that importance later, even denied his own friend.  But rather than crumple and abandon his faith altogether, he renewed his commitment to Jesus and proclaimed to the world that Jesus was the Messiah.  Our own faith is imperfect like Peter’s.  We sin.  We fail.  Can we also summon the courage to begin again, to recommit ourselves to Christ, to remember who Jesus is?

Lord, Jesus, you are the Messiah of God, Help me to follow you!

 

The Cowboy & St. Peter

A cowboy appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.  “Have you ever done anything of particular merit? “ St. Peter asked.  “Well, I can think of one thing.”  The cowboy offered.  “On a trip to the Black Hills out in South Dakota, I came upon a gang of bikers who were threatening a young woman.  I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn’t listen.  So I approached the largest and most tattooed biker and smacked him in the face, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground.  I yelled, “Now, back off or I’ll take care of all of you myself!”  St. Peter was impressed, “When did this happen?”   “Couple of minutes ago”, replied the cowboy.

 

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

 

We welcome Fr. Sang Lee who is with us for today’s Mass.
