Thought for the Week

12th Sunday, C.

'But you,' he said, 'who do you say I am?' (Luke 9:)


The question addressed to Peter two thousand years ago, 'Who do you say I am?' is addressed to us today. This was a determining question for the apostles and it is for us as well. Our salvation depends on our answer. Each of us has to make an individual response.  Do we experience Jesus as someone who plays an important part in our daily life? Belief that he is the Christ of God should prompt us to reflect on how prepared we are to follow him. Genuine disciples have to adopt the convictions, attitudes and values of their master.
