TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
“Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind,
that you may discern what is the will of God.”
Be transformed.
Peter must be transformed. Jeremiah must be transformed.
So must we.
Jesus does not promise that discipleship will lead us away from the Cross.
He invites us to discover that somewhere within our crosses – within sacrifice, surrender, disappointment, love, and the daily giving of ourselves – we may begin to see differently.
Not merely as human beings see.
But as God sees.
And perhaps that is what it means to lose our lives for the sake of Christ:
to discover, little by little, the life that God has been inviting us to find.
