[Grem] *****SPAM(5.2)***** Gospel meditation

[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 Mashiach, 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.*

*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
