Saints Peter and Paul -June 29
Starter Story:
The year was 1770, and in a small Italian church, two altar boys prepared for Benediction. Annibale Della Genga and Francesco Castiglioni entered the sacristy, put on their albs, and grabbed the heavy brass candlesticks. And then they began to bicker.
22nd Sunday A: If you wish to Follow me, Take up your cross
Gospel Text: Matthew 16:21-27
Michel DeVerteuil
General Comments
In meditating on this passage, we need to make some choices – guided, as always in lectio divina by feelings, not reason. For example, we can focus on the disciples, and Peter in particular, so that the passage speaks to us about our relationship with Jesus or with someone who has been Jesus to us. We then celebrate the times when we have been brought to see how our way of thinking was “human” and not according to God’s plan.

19 Sunday A: In the Storms of life with Jesus
From Fr. Donald Planty:The world’s attention is unfortunately, but understandably, regularly focused on the destructive force of natural events like hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis, as well as on the violent human forces contending in conflicts in Central Europe, in the Middle East, in Africa, and in Latin America.

Today the Church celebrates the feast of Saints Peter and
Paul, the two great pillars of the Church.
We may think that these two saints are like two peas in a
pod, and if we were to give names to a pair of twin boys, the obvious choice
would be to name them Peter and Paul.
Peter and Paul may seem to give us an impression of unity,
but in fact, they were more of an incompatibility.
They were more like oil and water, and their differences go
deeper than that of liquid viscosity.
That fact is that initially, they would have wished the
other to be dead, and they won’t even bother about attending the other’s
funeral!
22 Sunday A - Take up your Cross
Thomas O’Loughlin
Introduction to the Celebration
In today’s gospel we hear the call of Jesus to become his followers. This is no easy invitation: ‘If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me.’ We enter into the cross of Jesus, and begin our following of him, when we are baptised. It is at that moment that we become members of this body that can gather at the Lord’s table, and it is the grace of baptism that sustains us on the difficult road of following the Lord of life, and goodness, and truth. So now let us recall the fact that we are a baptised people, and ask God to bless us and strengthen us to continue following his Son.

Thomas O’LoughlinIntroduction to the Celebration
We have gathered here as the disciples of Jesus, we declare that he is present among us, we are about to share his table. But who is the One we follow? That is the question that is posed in today’s gospel, and we hear Peter’s resounding answer: ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’ Let us spend a moment in prayer and reflection, asking the Father to reveal to us now a deeper awareness of who it is in whose name we have assembled and into whose presence we have come.
