[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, the Gospel for today is incomparably rich and mysterious. First,
we notice that peculiar question, "Who do people say that I am?" No other
religious figure or founder would ask such a question. This is the
primordial and peculiar question of the Christian faith. It has to do with
Jesus and who he is. The first group that "responds" is the general public:
"Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others one of the
prophets." A range of opinions—and all of them wrong. Then that devastating
question: "But who do you say that I am?" You who are closest to me, you
whom I have chosen. But the disciples don’t speak. Are they afraid?
Perhaps. Are they ignorant? Probably. Finally Simon Peter speaks: "You are
the Messiah." You are the Messhiach, the anointed, the long-awaited Savior,
but more to it, as Peter says in other Gospels, you are the Son of God, not
just a human hero. This is the mystical faith that stands at the heart of
Christianity. This is the standing or falling point. To hold this Petrine
faith is to be a Christian; to deny it is not to be a Christian.*
