Come and join us either in person or on the livestream for our Parish Mass on Sunday 3 September. Last week our Gospel reading told us of the amazing insight of Peter, that Jesus is the Son of God, the Messiah. The euphoria of that moment does not last very long, as Jesus rebukes Peter in the harshest of terms ('Get thee behind me, Satan') when Peter says that Jesus must not suffer and die at the hands of the elders, chief priests and scribes (Matthew 16). Peter is still thinking in worldly terms, whereas Jesus has an entirely different agenda, namely the salvation of the world through his own supreme sacrifice.
