[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus asks his disciples that devastating
question: "But who do you say that I am?" But the disciples don’t speak.
Are they afraid? Perhaps. Finally, Simon Peter speaks: "You are the Christ,
the Son of the living God." You are the Messhiach, the anointed one, the
long-awaited Savior; but more to it, you are the Son of God, *not just a
human hero. This is the mystical faith that stands at the heart of
Christianity. To hold this Petrine faith is to be a Christian;



* to deny it is to deny Christianity. And then those amazing words of
Jesus: "Blessed are you Simon, son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not
revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father." This insight did not come
from Simon’s own intelligent speculation. It came from above, through
grace, from God. And this is why Peter is a rock. The Church is built not
on a worldly foundation of any kind but on a mystical foundation, born of
Peter’s faith in the revealing God. The Church is neither democratic nor
aristocratic—it is charismatic. And this is where its power comes from.*
