STEWARDSHIP OF PRAYER & REFLECTION
Today Peter, the Rock, stumbles over Jesus’
predicted passion, prompting Jesus’ labeling Peter
as “Satan, a stumbling block [obstacle] to me.”
Then, Jesus puts Peter and us in our place;
literally, “Get behind me,” i.e., where disciples
belong, following the Master, imitating the
Master’s self-sacrificing love. Peter needed to
learn, as do Christians in every age, including ours, that professing the
faith is just the beginning. “Talking the talk” means nothing without
“walking the walk.”
Hoy Pedro, la piedra, da un tropezón al
enfrentarse con el pronóstico de la pasión de
Jesús, lo cual provoca en Jesús caracterizar a
Pedro como “Satanás” y le dice: “¡Apártate de mí
y no intentes hacerme tropezar en mi camino”.
Con esas duras palabras Pedro debía entender que
seguir al Maestro implicaba imitarlo en todo,
sobre todo en su entrega de amor. Pedro
necesitaba aprender, como deben aprender los cristianos de todas las
generaciones, que profesar la fe es sólo el comienzo. “Obras, no
palabras”. Hay que poner en práctica lo que se predica.

Reflections
“What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?” - Mt. 16:26
St. Francis of Assisi once said, “Remember, you are what you are in the eyes of
God, and nothing else.” We often forget this stewardship wisdom when
we spend all of our time, talent and treasure to gain more of the
world’s riches. We need to set our priorities based on God’s values and
not the values of the material world.
“¿Que provecho obtendrá un hombre si gana el mundo entero, pero pierde su alma?” – Mt. 16:26
San Francisco de Asis dijo una vez, "Recuerden, son lo que son en los ojos de
Dios, nada más." Muchas veces olvidamos esta sabiduría del servicio
cuando usamos todo nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro para ganar más
riquezas mundanas. Necesitamos fijar nuestras prioridades basadas en
el valor de Dios y no en el valor del mundo material.
