    The Way Of The Cross

     | 930 views

    In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

    Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more

    You know how in a game of Mad Libs, you have a million choices and it's all a bit crazy? Well, life can feel like that too.

    The Crucifixion of Jesus is at the centre of the Message of the Gospel.

    The first Easter morning 2000 years ago must have begun with sadness.
