22nd Sunday In Ordinary Time
08-30-2026 | Father ChrisDear Fellow Disciples, peace.
Jesus' words in today's Gospel are among the most challenging words of discipleship: "If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me."
Peter has just confessed that Jesus is the Messiah. But when Jesus explains that the Messiah must suffer, be rejected, and be killed, Peter cannot accept it. He wants a Messiah without the cross. Jesus reminds him that God's way is different from human expectations.
