Gospel reflection for 3-6 year olds for the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, year A.
"Jesus wants Peter to think differently. He says,
'you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.'
'Human things' means thinking the way people think.
'Divine things' means thinking the way God thinks.
Jesus, the Son of the living God, wants Peter to think not like people, but like God.
Peter thinks that death is the end of life, but that is how people think, not how God thinks. God does not say 'no' to Jesus going to Jerusalem because God says 'yes' to life, and Jesus says, 'Yes, yes, yes!' too."

August 29, 2026 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time (Ages 6-9): Peter's Choice

Gospel reflection for 6-9 year olds for the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, year A.
"Peter hears Jesus say he will be killed, but perhaps he does not hear Jesus say that he will be raised from the dead. Does Peter understand what will happen on the third day? How can he? It has never happened before. Peter cannot see into the future. So Peter takes Jesus aside, plants himself firmly in front of him, and blocks the path.
Jesus says,
'Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.'
Whoa.
Jesus calls Peter, 'Satan.' We know Satan is a name used for the devil. Does Jesus think that Peter is evil now? That Peter is the devil??
The word 'satan' means 'adversary.' An adversary works against us, tries to stop us. Peter stands in Jesus' way. Blocking the way, Peter is an adversary to Jesus. The Rock becomes a stumbling block, something that causes a person to trip and fall."

August 29, 2026 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time (Ages 9-12): What Will They Give In Return For Their Life
Subscribe to the Better Part podcast today!
Gospel reflection for 9-12 year olds for the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, year A.
"Jesus knows his life is a gift. What can he give God in return? What can he offer but the greatest thing he has: his life. Everything. He lays down his life, he offers his whole self in the greatest act of Love. It is the most complete act of Love because he is the Son of God who is Love. Jesus is completely Love.
Jesus is also completely human, so is it easy for him to lay down his life? Probably not. How hard it must be for him, then, to hear his Rock say, 'God forbid it! This must never happen to you.' Peter makes it harder for him to offer himself to God. Peter sets his mind on human things while Jesus tries to keep his mind on the divine Plan. Peter stands in the way; Peter acts against Love."
