Though Peter is able to confess the identity of Jesus as the Christ by the inspiriation of the Father, he quickly falls victim to the influence of Satan by denying the Cross.

Why do we have such an allergy to a command? In the end, the law of our Father is for our own good. Though we have to be told to love, the goal is to no longer need that command.

This week we are given the familiar readings of our Lord's Passion. Rather than burden the faithful with wise words, or clever interpretations, why not just let the good news speak for itself: "Truly this was the Son of God!"

Are you ready for the Crucifixion? What good has all the abstinence and fasting been this Lent if it hasn't prepared you for the Cross? Take a moment and consider how this last stretch of Lent will prepare you for the coming Mysteries.

Though our readings this Sunday don't explicitly speak about joy, the themes of God's love and our return from exile should cause us to rejoice.

The Ten Commandments and the Cleansing of the Temple make one thing clear: We are invited to live in God's house as his children, according to his commands and his wisdom. The wisdom of God, though, includes the Cross.

This week we consider the connection between the Baptism of Jesus, his Transfiguration, and eventual death on the Cross prefigured by the sacrifice of Abraham. These three events in the life of Christ are all connected by the revelation of Jesus's sonship to the Father. As we continue Lent, we would do well to internalize the Pasachal Mystery as part of our own relation to God as sons and daughters.

As we begin this season, we are invited to honor the alliance we've forged with God by preparing to renew our baptismal vows at Easter.

This last Sunday in Ordinary Time (before Lent) invites us to consider Jesus's power to heal us. Will you go to confession to respond to this invitation? Will you receive the medicine of our salvation in the sacrament of the Eucharist? In these last few days of Ordinary Time we can be thinking of how Lent will be a special time of renewal and healing for those who seek the Lord.
