Homily from 8-22-21

So we've come to a turning point in the Gospel.  The goin' has gotten tough, and some people following Jesus have said, "This is just too hard!  Who can listen to and do these things?!"  And they left.  Then Jesus turned to his disciples and asked them, "Will you also leave?"  St. Peter answers back simply, "Lord, to whom shall we go?  You alone have the words of everlasting life."  So when you goin' gets tough, when your life gets rough, when you start to wonder why you believe in this Jesus, "Will you also leave?"  Or will you respond like faithful Peter, "Lord, to whom shall I go?"
