Who do you say I am? Homily for the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B.

On the way to Caesarea Philippi Jesus asks his disciples: Who do you say I am? This is an intimately personal question. If we do not feel its intimacy as disturbing - even intrusive - we have not listened to it. It is a question that summons a response from a silent depth within the heart itself. Peter replies: “You are the Christ.”
