24th Sunday of Ordinary Time

God has given each of unique gifts and talents to build up His kingdom. If we simply devise our own plans and follow our own desires, we’re like the Peter who stands in front of Jesus, wishing to do what we want so that we can save our life, but we’ll ultimately lose it. But if we’re humble and follow Christ and His plan for us, then we're like the Peter who followed Jesus, meaning we’ll lose our life for Christ’s sake and the gospel, and thus save it.
