[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel reports Peter’s confession of faith. In the midst
of his disciples, Jesus asks that strange question: "Who do people say that
I am?" What he gets by way of response is, first, a public opinion survey:
some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the
prophets.Then Jesus turns to those closest to him, and he asks them, "But
who do you say that I am?" They are silent, afraid, unwilling to speak.
Finally it is Peter who says: "You are the Christ." And he gets it right.
Does he get it right because he is the most intelligent? Please. Because he
is holy and close to Jesus? No. We know the whole story of Peter’s
weakness, which is marked by betrayal and stupidity. It is the Father who
has given Peter this insight*—not *Peter’s clever mind or searching heart.
It is a supernatural gift, a special charism. And it is upon Peter and this
inspired confession that the Church is built.*
