But you have remained to buitd up the faith and refused to give up.
Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, patrons July 1, 2018 Sts. Peter and Paul Church
July 1, 2018
“Self” Magazine is certainly a sign of the times. This is an age when it is socially acceptable to admit that life is all about me. But selfishness is nothing new. Ever since Eve bit into the apple, human beings have made the choice to dethrone God and put in His place the unholy trinity of me, myself, and I. But Jesus commands us to “love thy neighbor as thyself.” Doesn’t this imply that love of self is OK, even required? Absolutely. God placed in us a drive towards self-preservation. He made beneficial activities, like eating, pleasurable. And he made destructive activities painful. But He also gave us intellect and will so that we are not driven simply by instinct, as are the animals. So the ancient enemy of humanity does his best to deceive our intellect into thinking that what is destructive is actually good for us. And he entices us to use our will to choose these destructive things contrary to God’s commandments. The end justifies the means, he argues, and so if we have to trample over others and defy God to get what we want, so be it. This is the kind of self-love that Jesus condemns (Matthew 10:3742). It leads to ruin, confusion, and emptiness. There is no way to tame this or to fit religion into it. The only solution is to kill it. In baptism, this old egocentric self is crucified and buried with Christ (Romans 6:11). The man who wrote this line, Saul of Tarsus, knew what he was talking about. The about-face required of him was radical, turning him from persecutor to persecuted, agent of hatred to apostle of love. There can only be one Lord–Jesus or me. Accepting Jesus means allowing Him to be boss, allowing Him to call the shots and direct my steps. Picking up the cross and following Him (Matthew 16:24-25) means accepting the Father’s will, even where it “crosses” my will, even when it leads to suffering. This is the meaning of Jesus’ words to Peter “as a young man you fastened your belt and went about as you pleased, but when you are older, you will stretch out your hands and another will tie you fast and carry you off against your will” (John 21:18). When Jesus had finished saying this, he looked at Peter and said “Follow me.” As we celebrate the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, let us recall that before these saints were shepherds and apostles, they were sheep and disciples. God was able to do great things in them and through them because they made a decision to surrender control of their lives and destiny to the Son of Man who is also the Son of God. Jesus says “follow me” to each of us. It may mean making a change of career. It may mean breaking off a relationship that is leading us away from Christ. Or it may just mean doing what we are already doing but for an entirely different reason . . .achieving great things not to draw attention to ourselves, but to glorify Christ . . . seeking an intimate relationship no longer to take but to give. . . working not for the weekend, but for the kingdom.. Reflections on the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul by Marcelino d”Ambrosio, Ph.D

Reading I - Acts 12:1—11
In Acts of the Apostles, Saint Luke’s history written for pagan converts, this account follows the opening Pentecost story. Luke introduces a pattern in which the early Christians go through the same experiences Jesus did. They work miracles, give powerful teachings, win converts and suffer persecution. Today’s passage is their first miracle cure. Reading II - 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 17-18 This part of Second Timothy is written as a kind of farewell address by a senior apostle to a representative of a young Christian community. Reading III - Matthew 16:13—19

Every day of the year gives you a special opportunity to instill a great religious appreciation in your children, to broaden their knowledge of Our Lord, the Blessed Mother and the saints, and to strengthen their dedication to the laws of God and the Church. Each day is set aside by the Church to honor a particular event in the life of Our Lord or the Blessed Virgin, or to honor a particular saint. Consulting your religious calendar and one of the many books recounting the lives of the saints you can discuss these events with your children, stressing the qualities in the saints' lives which we might cultivate. The Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul in many parts of the world is a Holy Day of Obligation. You might tell your children that St. Peter was designated by Our Lord to lead His flock, and that St. Peter's authority extends to the present Pope in an unbroken line. The Apostle Paul, a convert to Christianity, reminds us of the billions of souls who remain ignorant of Christ and who must be brought into the fold so that there will be one fold and one shepherd.

He wrote this as he watched his best friends and members of his religious community suffer and die from the plague. Nluch of the book revolves around suffering.

He beiieved God walked with the simple, and revealed God's very self to the humble. For Thomas i Kempis, there is no

The Book of Job explores the mystery of innocent people experiencing misery and evil. iob suffers great pains and hardships, but he comes to the conclusion that faith in God must transcend personal pain and suffering. |esus advises his followers to take up their cross and follow him (Matthew 10:38, 76:24; Mark 8:54; and Luke 9:23,14:27). Saint Paul reminds us that we suffer with Christ so that we may be glorified with him (Romans 8:17).
