Get Behind Me, Satan! 22nd Sunday of Ordinary Time-A, August 30, 2026
Peter goes from "hero" to "zero" in just six verses! Last Sunday, he proclaimed Jesus as messiah and Son of God and this Sunday he remonstrates with Jesus not to follow the way of suffering and death his Father has given to him. Peter clearly hits a major nerve in Jesus, causing him to snap at Peter: "Get behind me, Satan!" It is not so difficult to identify just what that nerve is and why in that moment, Peter was a satan for Jesus. Homily shared with the Saint Francis Catholic Community, Cuenca, Ecuador.
