FIRST READING: Jeremiah 31:31-34 / GOSPEL: Matthew 16:13-23
Most of the time in my life I ask this question to myself. Who am I or what am I? Am I the person whom people persevere? definitely not. I know that I am not the person that the people experience. But sometimes I am lost in the thoughts of people's understanding of me. It is really hard for me then again I ask the question who am I? Something similar I see in today's Gospel. Jesus asking his disciples about himself. He gets a lot of answer but Peter's answer brings smile on his face. The son of God who is the Lord. But Jesus does not stay there he tells them of his upcoming event, that is suffering. And he rebukes the same Peter for not understanding what he is.
People talk a lot about us, but we know who really we are. We too are the daughters and sons of God in whom we believe. We too have our mission in life. Let's remember the Law is written in our hearts not in our minds. Let us listen to our hearts and seek the Lord.
Quote:"Things can be really empty in this world, and I don't just mean the music world. It can become a very meaningless place if you don't really understand: 'who am I? Why am I here? What am I doing?' To feel fulfillment and have a deeper level of understanding, personally, that is the most important thing." -Alicia Keys
