"Doing It"!!!

When I was in the seminary one of the priests gave a homily that was definitely short and to the point. He proclaimed: "God said it, You heard it, Now do it"!!! That really says it all because when it comes to living our faith WE NEED TO DO IT!!!! The gospel for this weekend was Mark 8:27-35. It is a 3-part gospel! First of all Jesus asks his disciples who people say that he is. Then he narrows it down by asking, "Who do you say that I am"? Peter answers by saying that Jesus is the Christ!!! From there, Jesus tells the disciples what is going to happen to him when he is handed over and Peter rebukes him. Jesus responds to him, "Get behind me Satan. You are not thinking as God does, but as human beings do"! Then Jesus invites us to be his disciples by denying ourselves and picking up our cross and follow him. Living our faith, following the Lord as disciples. We are called and We just need to do it!!! God Bless You!!!
