22nd SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (YEAR A)
SUNDAY 3rd SEPTEMBER 2017
This weekend’s readings explain
how we should practice true and
dynamic Christian discipleship.
Jeremiah, in the first reading, is a
certainly a prototype of the suffering
Christ. In the Responsorial Psalm
(Ps 63), the Psalmist manifests his profound trust in God,
just as Jeremiah himself does. In the second reading, Paul
advises the Romans and us (Rom 12:1-2): to ‘’offer our
bodies as a living sacrifice” to God by explicitly rejecting
the ungodly behavior of the world around us and by
discerning and doing the will of God. In today’s Gospel,
Jesus takes his disciples by surprise when, after Peter's
great confession of Faith, Jesus announces that he “must
go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly from the elders, the
chief priests and the scribes, and be killed and on the
third day be raised." After correcting Peter’s protest,
Jesus announces the three conditions of Christian
discipleship: “Deny yourself, take up your cross and
follow me.”
