Who do you say that I am?

“Once when Jesus was praying in solitude, and the disciples were with him, he asked them, ‘Who do the crowds say that I am?’” (Lk 9: 18)

I am among “the crowds,” and I am also asked: “Who do you say that I am?” There is no easy answer for this question. Whatever we say will have consequences in our daily life – and in the lives of my brothers and sisters.

“It is you who have stood by me in trials; and I confer a kingdom on you, says the Lord, that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom.” (Communion Antiphon)
