A Family Perspective
22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time September 3, 2017
Relationships live in a careful balance. If a person changes, the
balance is altered requiring a shift in the relationship. In today’s
gospel Jesus announced a change and Peter resisted. Sometimes,
those we count on for support may actually get in the way.
Jesus told Peter: “You are an obstacle to me.”
Please Join Us to Pray for Our Children!
