Peter replied:
“You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.”
For Peter and for us it is only through the Father that we can know this. It is through faith.
Peter was commissioned to lead Jesus’ mission and to form His Church. We are now heirs to the mission and the Church.
Think about it: “Who do you say who I am?”
Our leader, now, is our Holy Father, Pope Francis. He invites us to experience a renewed encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ by praying this prayer:
“Lord, I have let myself be deceived; in a thousand ways I have shunned your love, yet here I am once more, to renew my covenant with You.”
