We invite everyone to keep them in your prayers, that they may grow in the life of the Spirit and be strengthened for their journey of faith.
Let us also pray that we, as a parish family, may be good examples of the faith—supporting and encouraging our confirmandi always.

Hello everyone and peace!

This Sunday’s Gospel continues the story from last week. After Peter declared that Jesus is the Messiah and was called the “rock” upon which Jesus would build his Church, Jesus begins to explain what being the Messiah truly means. He tells his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, suffer, die, and be raised on the third day. Peter cannot accept this and tries to stop him. Jesus strongly rebukes Peter because he is thinking in human terms rather than understanding God’s plan. Jesus then tells his disciples that following him means being willing to take up the cross.

Peter and the other disciples were still learning what it meant for Jesus to be the Messiah. Many people at the time expected the Messiah to be a powerful leader who would free Israel from Roman rule. Peter may have imagined Jesus in this way. But Jesus reveals that his mission is not about earthly power or political victory. Instead, he will fulfill his mission through suffering, love, sacrifice, and ultimately resurrection.

Jesus shows that his disciples are called to follow the same path of loving service. Peter, the “rock,” would eventually learn that leadership in the Christian community is not about power or status but about giving oneself for others. The same is true for us this Sunday. Following Christ means being willing to put aside our own desires, carry the crosses that come our way, and serve others with generosity and love.

What a joy for the American National Catholic Church!
This Sunday, Bishop George will join the clergy and faithful of Sacred Heart of Jesus ANCC in Kearny, New Jersey, serving as principal celebrant for the Rite of Confirmation. This year, 30 young women and men will confirm the promises first made for them at Baptism and be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Please join me in praying that the Holy Spirit will set their hearts aflame with love for Christ and fill them with zeal to live and share their Catholic faith. Let us also pray that those of us who are more mature in faith may be faithful witnesses and worthy examples—encouraging these young people through our words, our actions, and, above all, our love.
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love!

¡Qué alegría para la Iglesia Católica Nacional Americana!

Les invito a unirse a mí en oración para que el Espíritu Santo encienda sus corazones con el amor de Cristo y los llene de celo para vivir y compartir su fe católica. Oremos también para que quienes somos más maduros en la fe seamos testigos fieles y ejemplos dignos, alentando a estos jóvenes mediante nuestras palabras, nuestras acciones y, sobre todo, nuestro amor.
¡Ven, Espíritu Santo, llena los corazones de tus fieles y enciende en ellos el fuego de tu amor!
