Homily for Friday of the 25th Week in Ordinary Time
Description
In today's Gospel, after praying, Jesus asked His disciples two questions: "Who do the crowds say that I am?" and "Who do you say that I am?"
The first question was broad and straightforward, while the second was both deeply personal and profoundly challenging.
When faced with this second question, we are invited to reflect on who Jesus is to each of us individually. It is easier to consider what He means to people in general, but it requires much deeper introspection to articulate what He means to me personally. Ultimately, it is our answer to this second question that holds the most significance. Jesus desires us to express our personal faith in Him. He asks us, "What do you believe?" and then sends us out to share our faith with others.
