Twenty Second Sunday in Ordinary Time A Scriptural Reflection
Who Is Peter? We are at something of a disadvantage this week, having a separation of seven days between last week’s Gospel reading and this week’s. In Matthew’s Gospel, these two passages follow immediately upon one another. So we don’t realize that, in only a hundred words or so, Jesus has moved from referring to Peter as the rock on which the church will be built to calling him “Satan.” So the point is Jesus founded the church on a “Satan”? Of course not. Jesus Christ found-ed, and continues to build—through the presence of his Body given to us, the church, by the Spirit of baptism—on human beings. He knows now, as he knew then, our frailness and built-in shortcomings. Today he begins his explanation of what his role as Messiah will mean during his last days in Jerusalem. And poor Peter leaps to the wrong conclusion, as many of us would, and still do. Peter is insistent upon follow-ing the conventional religious wisdom, the status quo, the commonly understood view of the Messiah. But it was this very view that Jesus came into this world to subvert.
Who Are We? The spiritual author C. S. Lewis once wrote, in reflecting on how hard it is to pray for one’s enemies as Christ command-ed, that he had particular difficulty praying for people like Stalin or Hitler. This was because he had to come to terms with the fact that the very human failings that made them who they were are also present in each one of us. We can never be sure exactly how or why we are prevented from exercising that degree of evil and hatred; it is only through the grace and will of God that we don’t. All the weakness and ignorance present in Peter today are present in all of us. We could not name one single baptized follower of Christ in whom these mortal failings were not or are not present. It is helpful for us to be alert about this, lest we follow in the way of Peter today and fail to realize that to follow Christ means following him to Jerusalem. It means actively taking up a cross, making our bodies a living sacrifice, as Paul says. It means examining the religious status quo of our day to make sure it is consistent with the sometimes harsh message of Jesus’ good news. And it means making sure that we are more like last week’s Peter, professing faith in Christ revealed to us by God, so we may continue to be strong and sturdy stones on which the church continues to be built.
