Matthew 16:21-27
22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A
[Jesus] turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.” Matthew 16:23
When my thoughts flurry and squall, I hope God thinks calmly, without hurry, in an orderly and harmonious fashion.
When my thoughts descend into despair about the heartaches and violence in our world, I hope God thinks healing into the grief and peace into the unrest.
When my thoughts dwell on what’s wrong with me, I hope God thinks I’m loveable and precious and right where I’m supposed to be.

I am coming to know that God loves me and understands me far more than I do. Sometimes I forget, but I’m remembering more and more. God sympathizes and understands my weaknesses.

God loves us because of who we are, not in spite of who we are. After all, we are His creation, His precious sons and daughters in whom He is well pleased.
