HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC CHURCH

TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME SEPTEMBER 3, 2017

Pastor’s Corner………. .The Gospel of today tells us that the cross or suffering has a place in our life. Jesus says that he is about to go to Jerusalem to suffer and to die. But Peter, his disciple, does not want to accept it. He wishes Jesus to have nothing to do with suffer-ing. Jesus tells Peter that,” You are not thinking as God does”. Jesus insists that those who are to become his disciples must accept cross and suffering as their lot. It means cross and suf-fering are part and parcel of our life. We must see it as plan of God and cannot be in a denying mood.

Fr. Mathew Kavipurayidam, TOR.

ESQUINA DEL PASTOR…….. El Evangelio de hoy nos dice que la Cruz o el sufrimiento tiene un lugar en nuestra vida. Jesús dice que está a punto de ir a Jerusalén para sufrir y morir. Pero Pedro, su discípulo, no quiere aceptarlo. Él desea que Jesús no tenga nada que ver con el sufrimiento. Jesús le dice a Pedro: "no estás pensando como Dios lo hace". Jesús insiste en que aquellos que van a conver-tirse en sus discípulos deben aceptar la Cruz y el sufrimiento como su suerte. Significa que la Cruz y el sufrimiento son parte integrante de nuestra vida. Debemos verlo como un plan de Dios y no podemos estar en un estado de ánimo denegado.

Padré Mathew Kavipurayidam, TOR
