Clergy Corner

Question of the Week for

August 23

Who do I say that Jesus is?

By this point, Peter had witnessed Jesus performing many miracles, from the multiplication of the loaves and fishes to walking on water. He had seen him heal the sick, restore sight to the blind, and drive out demons. But when Peter identifies him as “the Christ, the Son of the living God,” Jesus says that it is his Father who has revealed this to him, not what he has witnessed him do in the flesh (Matthew 16:16). It is the gift of faith, which Peter received from God the Father, that enables

him to identify the Son. We received the gift of faith from God in baptism, and through that gift God’s Son is also revealed to us. What others may see as bread and wine, we recognize as our Lord’s Body and Blood as we receive it in the Eucharist.
