In today’s Gospel, we reach a pivotal moment in our walk with the Lord. After weeks of listening to His words and witnessing His deeds, along with the disciples we’re asked to decide who Jesus truly is. Peter answers for them, and for us, too, when he declares: “You are the Messiah.” Many expected the Messiah to be a miracle worker who would vanquish Israel’s enemies and restore the kingdom of David (see John 6:15).

Jesus today reveals a different portrait. He calls himself the Son of Man, evoking the royal figure Daniel saw in his heavenly visions (see Daniel 7:13–14). But Jesus’ kingship is not to be of this world (see John 18:36). And the path to His throne, as He reveals, is by way of suffering and death.

Jesus identifies the Messiah with the suffering servant that Isaiah fore-tells in today’s First Reading. The words of Isaiah’s servant are Jesus’ words—as He gives himself to be shamed and beaten, trusting that God will be His help. We hear our Lord’s voice again in today’s Psalm, as He gives thanks that God has freed Him from the cords of death.

As Jesus tells us today, to believe that He is the Messiah is to follow His way of self-denial—losing our lives to save them, in order to rise with Him to new life. Our faith, we hear again in today’s Epistle, must express itself in works of love (see Galatians 5:6).

Notice that Jesus questions the apostles today “along the way.” They are on the way to Jerusalem, where the Lord will lay down His life. We, too, are on a journey with the Lord. We must take up our cross, giving to oth-ers and enduring all our trials for His sake and the sake of the Gospel. Our lives must be an offering of thanksgiving for the new life He has giv-en us, until that day whgiv-en we reach our destination, and walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

Este boletín, junto con nuestro sitio web, es la mejor fuente de información para aquellos que deseen participar.

En el evangelio de hoy, encontramos un momento clave para nuestro caminar con el Señor. Después de semanas de escuchar sus palabras y ver sus maravillas, así como los discípulos, somos cuestionados sobre quién es Jesús en verdad. San Pedro contesta por ellos y por nosotros también cuando dice: “tú eres el Mesías”. Muchos esperaban un Mesías taumaturgo que venciera a los enemigos de Israel y restaurara el reino de David (cfr. Jn 6,15). Jesús nos revela hoy un retrato diferente. Él se autodenomina el Hijo del Hombre, evocando la real figura que el profeta Daniel contempló en sus visiones celestiales (cfr. Dn 7, 13-14). Sin em-bargo, su realeza no es como la de este mundo (cfr. Jn 18, 36); y el camino a su trono, según nos enseña, pasa por el sufrimiento y la muer-te.

Jesús identifica al Mesías con el Siervo sufriente del que habla Isaías en la primera lectura de este domingo. Sus palabras son las mismas de Jesús, que se entrega para ser humillado y golpeado, confiando en que Dios le ayudará. Al mismo tiempo, escuchamos nuevamente la voz del Señor en el salmo de hoy, agradeciendo a Dios por librarlo de las redes de la muerte. Como Jesús nos dice hoy, creer que Él es el Mesías implica seguir un camino de negación de sí mismo, y perder la vida para salvarla y resucitar con Él a una nueva vida. Nuestra fe, según escuchamos de nuevo en la epístola de hoy, necesita expresarse con obras de amor (Ga 5, 6). Es notorio que Jesús cuestiona a sus apóstoles en esta lectura mientras van “por el camino.” Van rumbo a Jerusalén, donde el Señor entregará su vida. También nosotros vamos de camino con el Señor. Debemos aceptar y cargar nuestra cruz, dándonos a los demás y perse-verando en todas nuestras pruebas por la causa de Cristo y la del Evan-gelio. Nuestras vidas deben ser un sacrificio de acción de gracias por la nueva vida que Dios nos ha dado; hasta el día en que alcancemos nues-tro destino, y caminemos ante el Señor en la tierra de los vivos (cfr. Ez 26, 20).

TODO LO HA HECHO BIEN CONVIÉRTETE EN MIEMBRO "Y a ti, Madre, una espada de dolor te atravesará el

corazón..." (Lucas 2, 35)

POPE FRANCIS' PRAYER INTENTIONS FOR SEPTEMBER 2ND ANNUAL CHILIFEST

SEPTEMBER: DEDICATED TO THE SEVEN SORROWS OF MARY The month of September is dedicated to the Seven Sorrows of Mary. Devotion to the sorrows of the Virgin Mary dates from the twelfth century, when it made its appearance in monastic circles under the influence of St. Anselm and St. Bernard. The Cistercians and then the Servites undertook to propagate it. It became widespread in the fourteenth and especially the fifteenth centuries, particularly in the Rhineland and Flanders, where Confraternities of the Sorrowful Mother

sprang up. It was in this context that the first liturgical formularies in her honor were composed. A provincial council of

Mainz in 1423 made use of these in establishing a "Feast of the Sorrows of Mary" in reparation for Hussite profanations of her images. In 1494 the feast appeared in Bruges, where the Precious Blood of Christ was venerated; later on it made its way into France. It did not, however, become widespread in France before Benedict XIII included it in the Roman Calendar in 1727 and assigned it to the Friday before Palm Sunday.

Some Churches had previously celebrated this feast during the Easter season. Others, however, celebrated the Joys of the Blessed Virgin during the Easter season, as is still done today at Braga. In some places it was entitled "Recollection of the Feasts and Joys of the Blessed Virgin Mary." - Excerpted from The Church at Prayer, Vol. IV A.G. Martimort.

Have you ever been pursued? The idea of someone “chasing us” can bring up different images in our mind. On the one hand, being chased by someone or something can be frightening. On the other hand, the idea of someone pursuing us is flattering, but perhaps we wonder what their motives actually are. The Catechism of the Catholic Church

says that “in every time and in every place, God draws close to man.” God pursues us. God is continually chasing us, but not to harm us or for His own gain. God pursues us out of love. And God’s pursuit is not

like the pursuit of others that might grow tired or give up on us. God is relentless in seeking us out.

All teenagers, ages 13-18, are invited to join us for our FIRST ever youth group event!

Join us as we kick off our youth group with a series based on this year’s theme called “RELENTLESS FATHER”! We will start at
