TWENTY FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Another summertime story about Hudson and Pop!

We were on our way to the beach; Hudson was running ahead, and Pop was lagging behind when his flipflop caught a crack in the sidewalk.  Hudson did a quick about-face to help Pop up from the concrete.  Nothing more than scraped hands and knees, but they inspired a Hudsonism for the day:

“Pop, bad things happen; you just keep going.”

In today’s gospel, many of Jesus’ disciples didn’t keep going.  They heard hard things to accept; even some that shocked them.  The irony is that they didn’t even stick around long enough to see and hear the hardest things of all.  For those who stayed, things were just as hard and just as shocking, but with Peter, they asked, “Master, to whom shall we go?”

Why do we stay?  It’s all so hard, and some is downright shocking.  There can only be one reason; the Father has drawn us to the One who speaks Spirit and life.  Everything else is just everything else.  After all, “Bad things happen; you just keep going.”
