A Message from Fr. James’ Desk:
No Cross No Crown
In our gospel today Jesus was confirming the proph-ecy of Isaiah before Peter interrupted him. Jesus knew that this was the will of God for him and was willing to show his practical love for humanity. So, as the Suffering Servant and Messiah, his core mis-sion was to redeem humanity through his own suffer-ing and death. However, Peter did not understand this. Jesus does not mean that Peter was a devil, but he rebuked the voice that spoke through him.
A few moments before, Peter identified Christ as the son of God by the power of the Holy Spirit. The next moment he was used by Satan in order to oppose God’s will. There are two reasons for this. First, Peter could not believe that Jesus could descend so low as to allow himself to be killed by human beings. Second, Peter set his mind on what he will lose should this happen. He thought he would lose his position in the earthly kingdom which they thought Christ had come to establish. So he did not want to hear Christ talk about suffering and death now. How-ever, he did not know he was standing against the will of God. Like most of us today, Peter knew who Jesus was but was not ready to accept the reality that faced him. He wanted the crown but denied the cross that must come before it. Like Peter, most times we do not want to face the realities of our life. Rather, we want to deny them. We want to reduce or run away from our cross and yet, we want to follow Christ. My dear friends, practical Christianity means faith in action. It means accepting to carry our cross humbly and pa-tiently while relying on the same grace that helped Christ. It is by carrying his cross and dying on it that Christ demonstrated his practical love, charity, gen-erosity, and faith in action for us. So, he wants us to do the same. This is why he tells us today: “If any-one wants to be my follower…let him carry his cross and follow me…Anyone who wants to save his life will lose it, but anyone who loses his life for the sake of the gospel will save it.” The good news is our crosses will not last forever, but will definitely end up in triumph.
In our own lives too, there could be blind spots that need to be touched and opened by Jesus. To live a true life of a Christian in the modern world is a great challenge - to be open to the words of Jesus and to present it to a world that is turning away from Jesus and his ministry! Fr. James, CMI
Un Mensaje del Padre James:
Sin Cruz Sin Corona
En nuestro evangelio de hoy, Jesús estaba confir-mando la profecía de Isaías antes de que Pedro lo interrumpiera. Jesús sabía que esta era la voluntad de Dios para él y estaba dispuesto a mostrar su amor práctico por la humanidad. Entonces, como Siervo sufriente y Mesías, su misión principal era redimir a la humanidad a través de su propio sufrimiento y muerte. Sin embargo, Peter no entendió esto. Jesús no quiere decir que Pedro fuera un diablo, pero reprendió la voz que hablaba a través de él. Unos momentos antes, Pedro identificó a Cristo como el hijo de Dios por el poder del Espíritu Santo. Al momento siguiente, Satanás lo utilizó para opon-erse a la voluntad de Dios. Hay dos razones para esto. Primero, Pedro no podía creer que Jesús pu-diera descender tan bajo como para permitir que los seres humanos lo mataran. En segundo lugar, Pedro puso su mente en lo que perdería si esto sucediera. Pensó que perdería su posición en el reino terrenal que ellos pensaban que Cristo había venido a estable-cer. De modo que ahora no quería escuchar a Cristo hablar sobre el sufrimiento y la muerte. Sin embargo, no sabía que estaba oponiéndose a la voluntad de Dios. Como la mayoría de nosotros hoy, Pedro sabía quién era Jesús, pero no estaba listo para aceptar la realidad que enfrentaba. Quería la corona, pero negó la cruz que tenía que venir antes. Como Pedro, la mayoría de las veces no queremos enfrentar las realidades de nuestra vida. Más bien, queremos negarlos. Quere-mos reducir o huir de nuestra cruz y, sin embargo, queremos seguir a Cristo. Mis queridos amigos, el cristianismo práctico significa fe en acción. Significa aceptar llevar nuestra cruz con humildad y paciencia mientras confiamos en la misma gracia que ayudó a Cristo. Al cargar su cruz y morir en ella, Cristo demostró su amor práctico, caridad, generosidad y fe en acción por nosotros. Entonces, quiere que haga-mos lo mismo. Por eso nos dice hoy: “Si alguno quiere ser mi seguidor… que lleve su cruz y sígame… El que quiera salvar su vida la perderá; pero el que pierda su vida por causa del evangelio, la salvará ”. La buena noticia es que nuestras cruces no durarán para siempre, pero definitivamente termi-narán triunfando. También en nuestra propia vida puede haber puntos ciegos que Jesús necesita tocar y abrir. Vivir una ver-dadera vida de cristiano en el mundo moderno es un gran desafío: estar abierto a las palabras de Jesús y presentarlas a un mundo que se está alejando de Jesús y de su ministerio. P. James, CMI

Prayer for Grandparents and The Elderly
I thank You, Lord For the comfort of Your presence: even in times of loneliness, You are my hope and my confidence, You have been my rock and my fortress since my youth! I thank You for having given me a family and for having blessed me with a long life. I thank You for moments of joy and difficulty, for the dreams that have already come true in my life and for those that are still ahead of me. I thank You for this time of renewed fruitful-ness to which You call me. Increase, O Lord, my faith, make me a channel of your presence, teach me to embrace those who suffer more than me, to never stop dreaming and to tell of your wonders to new generations. Protect and guide Pope Francis and the Church, that the of the Gospel might reach the ends of the earth. Send Your Spirit, O Lord, to renew the world, that the storm of the pandemic might be calmed, the poor consoled and wars ended. Sustain me in weakness and help me to live life to the full in each moment that You give me, in the certainty that you are with me every day, even until the end of age.
Amen.

Prayer for the Year of St. Joseph
O Saint Joseph, guardian of Jesus and
husband of Mary, we pray to you for
guidance in this “Year of Saint Joseph” as
proclaimed by Pope Francis.
By your example we have been encouraged

children. You teach us to accept others as
they are, without exception.
To you our Heavenly Father entrusted his
Son, Jesus Christ. In you Our Lady placed
her love and trust. And through your
mentoring, Jesus grew into his adult life.
We praise you and ask of you to defend us
and our loved ones from every evil and guide
us with your grace and mercy.
Amen.
