Mass Intentions
Today’s Gospel Reflection
1st Reading: Is 22:19-23 * Psalm 138:1-3, 6-8 *
2nd Reading: Rom 11:33-36 * Gospel: Mt 16:13-20
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
virtues 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.

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 imaginar. 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 nuestros
papeles y miembros de la Iglesia universal de nuestro tiempo.

Rito de Inicíacion Cristiana de Adultos
Culture of Life
When the sense of God is lost, there is also a tendency to lose the sense of man, of his dignity and
his life; in turn, the systematic violation of the moral law, especially in the serious matter of respect for human life and its dignity, produces a kind of progressive darkening of the capacity to
discern God’s living and saving presence. By living “as if god did
not exist,” man not only loses sight of the mystery of God but also
of the mystery of the world and the mystery of his own
being. (St. Pope John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae)

PLEA FOR HELP. Again, thanks and appreciation to the newlyinstalled officers of Madonna Council for the Columbian Year
2014-15, whose participation and involvement keep OUR Council
in good standing. However, an appeal is in order for the rest of
the brother knights to step up to the plate, be counted and be
engaged. We have about 60 actively paying members, but only
15 or so attending meetings and participating in the council activities and are mostly in their 70's. We need younger members
to keep Madonna Council going! Its future depends on you.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle. Be our
protection against the wickedness and
snares of the devil. May God rebuke
him, we humbly pray; and do Thou,
O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the
Divine Power of God - cast into hell,
Satan and all the evil spirits, who roam
throughout the world seeking the ruin
of souls. Amen.
