Twenty Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time - 13th September
THE NATIONAL EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS
KNOCK 26th-27th September - www.nec2015.ie
“But you, who do you say I am?”
Jesus puts his disciples on the spot, asking them a tough and challenging question. Look at the people
around you here today at Mass. If one of them asked you that question, “Who do you say I am?” how
would you respond? It would depend of course on how well you know that person. The more
experience you have of that person the more your response will capture the essence of them. So too
with Peter when he responds to Jesus’ challenging question. Peter’s answer does not come from
anything he has read or studied. It is not an academic answer to an exam question. No, Peter’s answer
rises up from the depths of him, shaped by his own experience with Jesus, his own relationship with
Jesus. And so Peter responds, “You are the Christ.” Peter knows at the gutsy level of human experience
that Jesus is God’s own anointed one – the Christ. It is one thing having the right answer. It is another
thing living it out.
“Who do you say I am?” Like Peter, our response to that question is not just in the words we say but in
the lives we live. Peter had good days and bad days, days when he was brave, days when he wanted to
run away. In the end though, Peter’s life and his death, bore clear witness to his belief that Jesus is the
Christ.
So if Jesus was to stop you going out of Mass today and ask you that question, what would your
response be? Would you be saying – you are the Christ, you are my brother, you are a stranger, you are
my hope, you are my Bread of Life? “Who do you say I am?” It is a challenging question, not meant to
threaten us but to invite us deeper into relationship with Jesus.
