Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners, The Rock

Peter was Jesus’ choice to lead the fragile band of apostles. In today’s Gospel, Simon is given a new name—Peter, the “rock.” In John’s Gospel, Peter is called to be a shepherd. He is expected to lay down his life for his sheep. And tradition tells us that he did just that. But today we think about the durable rocklike quality that Jesus needed in a leader. Peter was appointed to his leadership position for reasons we are not able to fathom. God knows, and Jesus knew well, that Peter was flawed. We cannot mistake his enthusiasms, though, his manifest love, and his great, exuberant faith. Those vir-tues saw him through. They are durable, tough, beautiful virtues. They make Peter a sympathetic and lovable person. They provide us with the balance and humor that we need as we consider our own roles in the universal church.

Vigésimo Primer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Agosto 24 , 2014

Iglesia St. Martha Miami Shores, FL

Estimados Feligreses

La Roca

Jesús escogió a Pedro para ser el jefe del inseguro grupo de Apóstoles. En el Evangelio de hoy, el que una vez se llamaba Simón es ahora Pedro –la roca. En el Evangelio de Juan, Pedro es llamado a ser pastor. Eso requiere que esté dispuesto a dar su vida por sus ovejas. Y la tradición nos dice que él hizo eso exactamente. Pero hoy, pensamos en las cualidades inmovibles de las rocas que Jesús necesitaba en un jefe. Pedro se ganó su posición de liderazgo por razones que no nos podemos ima-ginar. Dios sabe, y Jesús también, que Pedro tenía sus fallas. No podemos dejar de ver su entusiasmo, ni su gran amor y fe espontánea. Esas virtudes le sirvieron bien. Son virtudes admirables, duraderas y fuertes. Hacen que Pedro sea simpático y fácil de querer. Nos proporcionan el balance y el buen humor necesarios al considerar nues-tros papeles y miembros de la Iglesia universal de nuestro tiempo.
