Today we celebrate the 12^th Sunday in Ordinary time and the Father’s Day. Daily lives coming to be our routine but in that time we have the special meeting with God which is extraordinary event for us. Today Jesus speaks about the crucifixion as our way to salvation. Then he states what we must do to follow him. Take up our daily cross. The cross at its deepest level means forgiveness. To take up our cross means to accept forgiveness and to forgive others.

Today is Father’s Day, it would not be out of place for us to remind ourselves that in spite of all the changes in society, the father remains a very essential figure in the ideal Christian family. This is not a global condemnation of single motherhood, since we know that many women are forced into single motherhood by circumstances beyond their control. But we would like to remind ourselves today, that the ideal Christian family remains that of father, mother and child or children.

When we come for the Eucharist we pray to the Heavenly Father. We ask Our Father who are in heaven for the blessing of our ordinary lives. And we are very happy because God the Father is the best forgiving father.

One Main Point

Confessing that Jesus is the Messiah, Son of the living God is an important turning point for discipleship. Only with that grace that we can deny ourselves and carry our own apostolic cross. Jesus invites each one of us to carry the cross.

Reflections  

1 Write down the first thought that you have as an answer to this question: Perhaps you have recited so many times the Creed of the      Apostles (or the Nicence Creed), for you who is Jesus?

2 Right after the confession of Peter about Jesus, He predicted for the first time His passion, His death on the cross. Within this      pretext, reflect on Jesus’ mission and your own mission. Does your mission also follow the way of the cross as Jesus’ did? As Jesus said to Peter that it was the grace of God the Father that revealed  to him the true mission of Jesus, pray for the grace to discern your mission in the will of God the Father.

3 Now, with a better concept about the mission of Jesus and yours, let us go back to the first question and re-examine your confession      about Jesus. Listen to the words that Jesus reveals in your heart: who do you believe that I am? How would your heart answer to Jesus’      invitation: Carry your cross and walk with me.
