Reflection

In order to follow Jesus, we have to carry our own crosses. What is a cross that you are carrying right now? In what ways can you ask Jesus to help you

with your cross? How is it bringing you closer to God?

80 South Market Street, San José, CA 95113-2321 408-283-8100 www.stjosephcathedral.org ,

“Jesus began to show his disciples 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. Then Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him,

‘God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you.’ He turned and said to Peter,

‘Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.’

Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,

take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,

but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?

Or what can one give in exchange for his life? For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father's glory,

and then he will repay all according to his conduct.’” Matthew 16: 21-27

Today’s Gospel continues the story that began in last week’s Gospel. Simon Peter was called the “rock” upon which Jesus would build his Church, and yet Peter continues to show the limi-tations of his understanding of

Jesus’ identity. Now that the disciples have acknowledged that Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus confides in them the outcome of his ministry: he must suffer and die in Jerusalem to be raised on the third day. Peter rejects this prediction, and Jesus rebukes him severely, calling him “Satan.” In opposing this aspect of Jesus’ mission, Peter shows that he is no longer speaking based on the revelation from God but as a human being. Jesus then teaches all of the disciples about the diffi-cult path of discipleship: to be Christ’s disciple is to follow in his way of the cross. Peter could not yet understand what it meant to call Jesus the Messiah. It is unlikely that the oth-er disciples understood any better. Messianic expectations were a common aspect of first-century Judaism. Under Roman occupation, many in Israel hoped and prayed that God would send a Messiah to free the Jews from Roman oppression. The common view was that the Mes-siah would be a political figure, a king that would free Israel from Roman rule. This is per-haps what Peter envisioned when he was led to recognize Jesus as the Messiah. In this passage, however, Jesus is beginning to teach his disciples that he would be the Messiah in a different way. Jesus would be more like the suffering servant described by the prophet Isaiah than the political liberator. Those who would be Jesus' disciples would be called to a similar life of service. Per-haps this is what Peter feared most in Jesus’ pre-diction of his Passion. He whom Jesus had called “rock” would also be called upon to offer him-self in sacrifice and service to others. Christian leaders today are still called to sacrifice and serve others as Jesus did. - Loyola Press

S aint of the Week Saint Gregory c. 540 – March 12, 604

Gregory was the prefect of Rome before he was 30. After five years in office he resigned, founded six monasteries on his Sicilian estate, and became a Benedictine monk in his own home at Rome. Ordained a priest, Gregory became one of the pope’s seven deacons, and also served six years in the East as papal representative in Constantinople. He was recalled to become abbot, but at the age of 50 was elected pope by the clergy and people of Rome. Gregory was direct and firm. He removed unworthy priests from office, forbade taking money for many services, emptied the papal treasury to ransom prisoners of the Lombards and to care for persecuted Jews and the victims of plague and famine. He was concerned about the conversion of England, sending 40 monks from his own monastery. He is known for his reform of the liturgy, and for strengthening respect for doctrine. Whether he was largely responsible for the revision of “Gregorian” chant is disputed. Gregory lived in a time of perpetual strife with invading Lombards and difficult relations with the East. When Rome itself was under attack, he interviewed the Lombard king. His book, Pastoral Care, on the duties and qualities of a bishop, was read for centuries after his death. He described bishops mainly as physicians whose main duties were preaching and the enforcement of discipline. In his own down-to-earth preaching, Gregory was skilled at applying the daily Gospel to the needs of his listeners. Called “the Great,” Gregory has been given a place with Augustine, Ambrose, and Jerome, as one of the four key doctors of the Western Church. An Anglican historian has written: “It is impossible to conceive what would have been the confu-sion, the lawlessness, the chaotic state of the Middle Ages without the medieval papacy; and of the medieval papacy, the real father is Gregory the Great.” Reflection Gregory was content to be a monk, but he served the Church in other ways when asked. He sacrificed his own preferences in many ways, especially when he was called to be Bishop of Rome. Once he was called to public service, Gregory gave his considerable energies completely to this work. Gregory’s description of bishops as physi-cians fits in well with Pope Francis’ description of the Church as a “field hospital.”

S anto de la Semana San Gregorio c. 540 – March 12, 604 Gregorio era el prefecto de Roma antes de los 30 años de edad. Después de cinco años en su oficio, renunció y fundó seis monasterios en Sicilia y se

volvió en monje Benedictino en su hogar en Roma. Orde-nado sacerdote, Gregorio llegó a ser uno de los siete diáco-nos del papa y sirvió como representante papal en Constan-tinopla. Lo quisieron hacer abad pero a los 50 años fue ele-gido papa por los cleros y el pueblo romano. Gregorio fue directo y firme. Removió a los sacerdotes no dignos de sus oficios, prohibió el uso del dinero para muchos servicios, vació la cuenta papal para librar a los presos de los Lom-bardos y cuidó a los Judíos perseguidos más las víctimas

del crimen y la hambruna. Se preocupó por la conversión de Inglaterra, enviando 40 monjes de su propio monasterio. Es recono-cido por la reforma de la liturgia y el forta-lecimiento de la doctrina. De que haya sigo responsable por su redacción del “canto Gregoriano” no se puede concluir con certe-za. Vivió en una época de continuo conflic-to con los Lombardos y relaciones difíciles en el Oriente. Cuando Roma fue atacada, él entrevistó al Rey Lombardo. Su libro “el Cuidado Pastoral, sobre los deberes y méritos de un obispo, fue leído du-

rante siglos después de su muerte. Describió a los obispos como médicos cuyos deberes principales eran la predica-ción y el re-enfuerzo de la disciplina. En su predicación inaugural, Gregorio fue muy hábil en la aplicación del Evangelio a las necesidades de sus escuchantes. Llamado “El Magno,” Gregorio tiene su lugar con Agustino, Ambro-sio y Jerónimo como uno de los cuatro doctores de la Igle-sia Occidental. Un historiado Anglicano dice, “Es imposi-ble concebir lo que hubiera sido de la confusión, la anar-quía y el estado caótico de la Media Edad sin el papado medieval; y del papado medieval, el verdadero padre es Gregorio el Magno.” Reflexión: Gregorio se conformó al ser monje pero sirvió a la Iglesia de otras maneras cuando le pedían. Sacrificó sus preferencias especialmente al ser elegido Obispo de Roma. En el servició público, se entregó por pleno a su trabajo. Su descripción de los obispos como médicos va con la descripción del Papa Francisco cuando dice que la Iglesia es como un “hospital de campaña.”

Discover the keys to the mystery of love and relation-ships! The Dominican cloistered nuns of Corpus Christi Monastery and guest Jim Brady will unravel this mystery in

a five-session series based on the groundbreaking “Love and Responsibility” by Karol Wojtyla (Saint John Paul II). Some of the issues to be addressed include: What makes a true friendship? How does attraction lead to either selfless love or a relationship in which someone is being used? How do I know if I am in a relationship of authentic love or just another relationship doomed to failure? If eve-ryone is made for spousal love, how is this desire recon-ciled with vocations to the priesthood, religious life or ded-icated singlehood? …and more! Each second Saturday from 9:15-11:30 a.m. (Mass available at 8 a.m.) September 9, 2017 | October, 14, 2017 | November 11, 2017 | December 9, 2017 | January 13, 2018 Cost: $45 (includes books, materials) Corpus Christi Monastery | 215 Oak Grove Avenue | Menlo Park, California For more information or to register, please visit www.nunsmenlo.org or contact Sister Joseph Marie, O.P. at DominicanNuns@nunsmenlo.org.
