THE ROCK
Peter was Jesus’ choice to lead the fragile band of
apostles. In today’s Gospel, Simon is given a new name—
Peter, the “rock.” In John’s Gospel, Peter is called to be a
shepherd. He is expected to lay down his life for his
sheep. And tradition tells us that he did just that. But today we think about the durable rocklike quality that Jesus
needed in a leader.
Peter was appointed to his leadership position for reasons we are not able to fathom. God knows, and Jesus
knew well, that Peter was flawed. We cannot mistake his
enthusiasms, though, his manifest love, and his great, exuberant faith. Those virtues saw him through. They are durable, tough, beautiful virtues. They make Peter a sympathetic and lovable person. They provide us with the balance and humor that we need as we consider our own
roles in the universal church.

LA ROCA
Jesús escogió a Pedro para ser el jefe del inseguro
grupo de Apóstoles. En el Evangelio de hoy, el que una
vez se llamaba Simón es ahora Pedro –la roca. En el
Evangelio de Juan, Pedro es llamado a ser pastor. Eso requiere que esté dispuesto a dar su vida por sus ovejas. Y
la tradición nos dice que él hizo eso exactamente. Pero
hoy, pensamos en las cualidades inmovibles de las rocas
que Jesús necesitaba en un jefe.
Pedro se ganó su posición de liderazgo por razones
que no nos podemos imaginar. Dios sabe, y Jesús también, que Pedro tenía sus fallas. No podemos dejar de ver
su entusiasmo, ni su gran amor y fe espontánea. Esas virtudes le sirvieron bien. Son virtudes admirables, duraderas y fuertes. Hacen que Pedro sea simpático y fácil de
querer. Nos proporcionan el balance y el buen humor necesarios al considerar nuestros papeles y miembros de la
Iglesia universal de nuestro tiempo.
