The Happiest Place on Earth Hundreds of thousands of people travel to Florida every year to visit a place that calls itself the happiest place on earth. Yes, they go to see Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and a whole lot of Goofies at Disney World. However, while life is not magical, like the Magic Kingdom, life can be infinitely happier than the life portrayed in Orlando. Union with God and the hope of eternal life with Him brings a deep joy that doesn't end when the park closes. When a person is doing his or her best to reflect Chris!an moral values, then that person enjoys a sense of fulfillment and comple!on. There is nothing wrong with any of us taking a break from reality and enjoying family !me spent in a fantasy park. However, we have to realize that we can't live forever in a fantasy land. We live in a real world with challenges and difficul!es. We live with horses and not with unicorns. As commi%ed followers of Christ, we know that it is difficult at !mes to live according to our faith. Yet, it is in such moments that we have the ability to grow as true disciples of Jesus.
Parents put up a struggle to raise their children to be strong members of the Kingdom of God. This o&en costs them a great number of upse(ng conversa!ons and many sleepless nights as they stand their ground before a child who wants to do what he or she says all the kids are doing. Some parents are told by children that they are the meanest Mom or Dad in the world. But good parents hold their ground; stand for what is right, and, in !me and with the Grace of God, hopefully see their children grow into decent, morally good persons. Many people deal with chronic sickness in their lives, or worse, in the lives of their loved ones. They hold on to their faith and unite their pain to the Cross of Christ. Their suffering has value. They realize that through it all of the suffering they endure they can draw closer to the God. Peter was not ready for the real world. He wanted to live in a world where he could be happy and carefree. "God forbid, Lord, that anything should happen to you," Peter said to Jesus when Jesus men!oned His passion and death. The response of Jesus; "Get behind me, Satan," must have stung Peter terribly. "You are not thinking as God does, but as human beings do." Peter thought that happiness could come without a price. He was not ready to put up a fight against evil. He was not ready to suffer for something that was infinitely greater than this life. But we see Peter later on in life as one who suffers much for Jesus and the Good News of salva!on. A man filled with immense love for Jesus and who spent some 30 years tending and feeding the flock entrusted to him by our Lord. And in the end, he was able to accept the horrible death by crucifixion upside down for love of Jesus.
Fr. Tom

Each month St. John Teachers and the CCD Teachers will focus on a virtue. What is a virtue? VIRTUE is a good habit that empowers human persons to love God and others freely. The virtue for September is HONESTY. Honesty is sincerity, openness, and truthfulness in one’s words and ac!ons. Honesty looks like:
à Keeping your eyes on your own paper à Telling the truth even when it is hard. à Admi(ng you did something wrong
à Going to confession à Sharing something equally
Prayer: Dear Jesus, You said, “I am the Truth” (John 14:6). You have made me for Truth, because You have made me
for Yourself! Help me be honest in all that I say and do, that I might know true happiness in You.
