Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during these challenging times.

A Message from Msgr. Joe Today is a day of reflection for all of us who have gathered here at God’s invi-tation. Jesus asks us what profit there is in gaining the whole world if we for-feit our life. We would do well to as-sess our priorities and examine wheth-er we wish to live for ourselves or for Christ. Having commented Peter’s expression of faith in last Sunday’s gospel, Jesus now rebukes Peter as Peter fails to recognize that the Messiahship of Je-sus is not one of power and might ac-cording to this world, but one of self-giving and love. Further, Jesus teaches

his disciples and us that we are called to continue this messianic mission of Jesus by taking up our own cross each day. We would miss the point, if we believe that Jesus is only talking about physical suffering and death that cer-tainly a reality to the cross and most likely Peter’s rebuke of Jesus. That is why Paul teaches that the cross is a folly and stumbling block to Jew and Greek alike. For those who gaze upon the cross with eyes of faith however, we understand that the cross is the symbol of unconditional love. The vic-tory of love over hate and life over

death. Unconditional love is the power of Jesus’ messianic identity. Gazing upon the crucified Lord, the Christian see the depth of Jesus’ love for us. We are called to journey as his disciples seeking to love. I give you a new com-mandment love one another as I have loved you. Further, we recognize that the love Jesus calls his followers to is not some warm fuzzy feeling, but a deliberate decision to give of self for the betterment of the other simply because they exist, not counting the cost of sacrifice involved. Isn’t this the

profound love which spouses seek to grow in? Isn’t this the love that those called to the vocation of parenthood seek to share with their child? Isn’t this the love that we each seek to grow in as we mature, grow in the grace of baptism and the divine image in which we were created. But is all begins with taking up that cross daily, making that commitment to love as we have been loved. Let us pray today for the grace to take up our cross and follow him. This week is the beginning of another school year for our parish school min-istries as we welcome students from their summer break to both our ele-mentary and high schools. As we wel-come them back, I recognize that we do so in a time of apprehension due to the pandemic. As I have had the op-portunity to share with our faculty, our school administrations with the assistance of our diocesan Office of Catholic Education together with guid-ance from the CDC have worked dili-gently to assure the safety of all who enter our school buildings. Our appre-hension is eased as we communicate with one another honestly with one another. I thank all in advance for their cooperation and flexibility at this time of opening. I invite parents to view our school website for detailed information about our opening sched-ules. The mission of our parish school has

been the same for over 150 years, to partner with parents in the faith for-mation and academic growth of their children. Our parish schools together with their parents seek to form disci-ples of the Lord. I am grateful to all who continue with the same courage of the religious women of the Sisters of Mercy who were so instrumental in the founding of our parish schools, to face the challenges of a Catholic

School Ministry in our day so that par-ents may have this wonderful oppor-tunity for the faith and academic de-velopment of their child. As schools begins for all, it is a won-derful time as a parish family to lift in prayer our children and teens who will begin the school year. It is great to gather as well in your homes and ask God’s blessings as a family as you begin this school year.
