WHAT'S IN A NAME? In a dramatic moment, Jesus gives Simon a new name: Peter, the rock. The account of Simon's new name is told different-

ly in other Gospels. In John and Mark, Jesus renames Simon upon first meeting him and calling him to be one of the Twelve. Here in Matthew's account, however, Jesus changes Simon into Peter only after he professes his faith in Jesus as the Messiah. Peter's experience helps us reflect on dramatic moments in our own lives: "What is a personal moment that affected me so radically that I seemed to become a new person? What transformative experience changed my name, either literally or figuratively?" Sometimes a name change is built into major life moments, naturally flowing from birth, adoption, Confirmation, profession of religious vows, or marriage. But imagine if someone gave you a new name, without any warning, and without consulting you. Renaming someone is an extraordinary act. Jesus surely knows this, and renames only one of his disciples. Simon is the only disciple Jesus sets apart in this way. While the Gospels gradually reveal many of Simon Peter's character flaws, we constantly keep in mind the day Jesus called him rock and entrusted him with the path to salvation.

En un momento impresionante, Jesús da a Simón un nuevo nombre: Pedro, que significa piedra. La historia del nuevo nombre de Simón se cuenta de manera diferente en otros evangelios. En Juan y Marcos, Jesús da el nuevo nombre a Simón después de su primer encuentro e invitándolo para ser uno de los Doce. Sin embargo, aquí en la historia de Mateo, Jesús cambia el nombre de Simón a Pedro solo después que Simón profesa su fe en Jesús como el Mesías. La experiencia de Pedro nos ayuda a reflexionar en momentos impresionantes de nuestra propia vida: "¿Qué momento personal me afectó radicalmente que parecía que me convertía en una nueva perso-na? ¿Qué experiencia transformadora cambió mi nombre, ya sea literal o figurativamen-te?" Algunas veces un cambio de nombre sucede en momentos importantes, naturalmente después del nacimiento, adopción, Confirmación, profesión de votos religiosos, o el matrimonio. Pero imagina si alguien te dio algún nombre, sin ningún aviso o sin consultártelo. Renombrar a alguien es un acto extraordinario. Jesús seguramente sabia esto, y renombra solo a uno de sus discípulos. Simón es el único discípulo al que Jesús le hace esto. Al tiempo que vamos leyendo los evangelios, podemos notar varias de las debilidades y defectos de Pedro, y también constan-temente recordamos el día que Jesús lo llamó "piedra" y le confió el camino de la salvación.

DID YOU KNOW?

Bullying and back to school Unfortunately, conflict and even bullying seem to be a wide-spread experience our country’s schools. Children may fall vic-tim to, or perpetuate, intimidation and teasing, sometimes with lasting consequences to themselves and/or others. As children head back to school, it is important to talk to them about how they treat others and how to handle conflict or bullying in their classrooms and on the playgrounds. Get involved in your child’s school and ask about plans or programs for bullying prevention. To request a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Understanding School Violence, Part 2” email jvienna@la-archdiocese.org or call (213) 637-7227. Acoso y regreso a la escuela Desafortunadamente, el conflicto e incluso el acoso escolar parecen ser una experiencia generalizada en las escuelas de nuestro país. Los niños pueden ser víctimas de, o perpetuar, intimidación y burlas, a veces con consecuencias duraderas para sí mismos y/o para otros. A medida que los niños vuelven a la escuela, es importante hablar con ellos sobre cómo tratan a los demás y cómo manejar el conflicto o el acoso escolar en sus aulas y en los patios de recreo. Involúcrese en la escuela de su hijo y pregunte acerca de los planes o programas de prevención del acoso escolar. Para solicitar una copia del artículo de VIR-TUS® “Understanding School Violence, Part 2” (Entendiendo la violencia escolar, Parte 2) escriba a bmelendez@la-archdiocese.org o llame al (213) 637-7508.
