info_outline"His disciples will suffer with Him."
Archbisop Aquila addresses the congregation of St. Mary's in Breckenridge at a mass installing their new pastor, Father Erik.
In the Gospel readings, Jesus speaks to the sons of Zebedee who candidly ask the Son of God for a seat at His right and left hand when He comes into power, maybe not fully understanding that Jesus' victory will not be the toppling of Rome which the Israelites so hoped for. Today, we Christians truely are called to share in Jesus's victory: a victory which is not of this world, a victory which is in His Crucifixion and Resurrection. As the politics and sentiments of today's age seem to shift further and further from God's will, we must be ready to suffer and remain faithful to Jesus Christ, choosing His will over our own.
