WHO DO YOU SAY I AM?


PRAYER PAUSE

WHO DO YOU SAY I AM?


Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading ”But you,” Jesus asked his disciples, “whom do you say I am?” (Luke 9:18-22)


Reflection. Yesterday we heard Herod asking, “who is this Jesus I hear so much abour?” He was expecting an answer which he could fit into his own comfortable frame of reference.  Jesus must be some kind of prophet. But here the disciples themselves have to answer the question and Peter speaks for them:  “You are the Christ (the Messiah) of God”  This answer was way beyond even their own understanding. They did not know it then but they were naming one who bridged heaven and earth and all the ages past and future: the alpha and the omega. When Pedro Arrupe was asked by an interviewer “Who is Christ for you?” He simply said “Everything.”


Prayer. Lord, give us a deep knowledge of who you are and expand our hearts to love you and serve you in your brothers and sisters, especially the poorest. Amen
