"To be or not to be" is an invitation and a disciple's response. By virtue of our baptism we are called to hand on the faith and be witness to the Cospel.

Yesterday, on Friday, we happity welcomed back a parishioner at a baptism who now lives a watking distance from our church. She was happy to be back and expressed that Sts. Peter and PauI has atways been "my spirituatchurch." she was happy to be home with us.

serious setf-examination: Who am I and whose am l? Our answer to this question should not be a catechism type answer. When Peter answered Jesus' question "Who do you say I am," he wasn't talking in abstract terms. He was tetting Jesus that Jesus was Peter's Messlah. He was Peter's Savior. Similarty, our answer to the question "to be or not to be" is not existential but of faith. And this makes it quite a different response.

Saint Peter's Basilica is built on the tomb of Peter, which literally serves as the rock on
which the church

built. Peter states his
Jesus as
l\,iessiah in
the name of the other apostles. ln reply, the
Lord reveais
his
intenried missian for Peter: to become the visible foundation of the Church.
This
account that Peter's act of faith did not come through " flesh and blood," that is, through his human abilities, but through a particular revelation from God. By contrast, right afterward, as Jesus foretells his passion, death, and resurrection, Peter "began to rebuke him," denying that this would ever happen (Matthew 16:22). Jesus scolds him in return. Peter shows his human weakness and what he is: a stone along the path on which men can stumble. ln this scene, the drama of each soul and the history of the papacy and Church itself are anticipated. There is the joint presence of divine assistance by which the papacy constitutes the Church's foundation throughout history, and human weakness, which is also evident through the centuries and can be transformed only through abandonment to God's action. ln today's Gospel, Jesus clearly promises the forces of evil will not prevail. prophets such as Jeremiah (1:18- 19) were threatened only by human enemies, whereas Peter will have to be defended from a supernatural evil. Jeremiah receives a promise that affects him as a person and his prophetic ministry; Peter receives assurances concerning the future of the Church and the new community founded by Christ "upon this rock."

Todat's Second Reading from Paul's letter to the Romans reveals the awe with which Paul holds God: "Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of Godl How inscrutable are his judgments and how unsearchable his ways!" As Paul reflects on the Lord, Paulis a bit overwhelmed.

We would like to extend a very special Mahalo to our volunteers & donors who helped make a tremendous impact in our fight against hunger within our parish and greater community through our rnonthly parish food collection.
There are many key messages in this brief reading
from Paul's letter to the Romans, but look at his closing: "For from him and through him and for him are allthings." You may have heard the statement "You cannot out-give God." That is the point of everything coming from Him and through Him and for Him. God has a plan for each of us. We nray have our own plans, but they can never be as accurate or important as God's plan for us. That in itself is humbling. Even if we have our own plan, we could not make

and knowledge. Accepting that and turning to the Lord through prayer and commitment will allow us to
fulfill God's desire for us that is to be His disciple. All we do needs to be for Him. That is what Christ did, and what the Lord meant when He said, "For I have come down from heaven not to do my will, but to do the will of Him Who sent me." Our role is to seek what it is God wants from us, and then to try to fulfill that in our lives. lt is not nearly as complicated as it

Q Roiler alert: I'm a big fan of Pope Francis, too! I believe he's doing much to
LJ bring people back to the Church. If you look closely at the pope's message, I think you'll find the difference is not one of content but of emphasis. Pope Francis has not changed any Church teaching, but he is shining the spotlight on sorne areas in particular. Pope Francis has put a great deal of emphasis on mercy, simplicity, the poor, and immigrants. These things have always been part of pope has Lrru Catholic ucrrilullL Church. ullul Llr. Our vLrr I Ed the yuPL .9, decided that today these things need to be brought to t1-re forefront. @ As Catholics, we are free to say F,, tl-rings like, "I wish the pope would -"' put more emphasis on cloctrine," "l or, wish he r,vould talk more about u,hat we neecl to do to be saved." There's even nothing wrong in saying, "l liked Pope Benedict better." But, because Francis is in Peter's chair, we must always first ask ourselves, "What is Jesus sayir-rg to me through the messages of Pope Francis?" Fr. Patrick Keyes, CSsR Sundaybulletin@Liguori. org \:a

I am a huge fan of Pope Francis. However, I know some people feel his messages to be against Church teachings. Hou/ can the people criticize the pope when we believe our Lord has put Pope Francis in the chair of St. Peter?
