Who are you? Do do do do... is the theme song for CSI. It seems that it could well be the theme for the Gospel. Or perhaps in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar, where someone sings: Jesus Christ Superstar, Do you think You are what they say You are? The question Jesus asks Peter, "Who do you say I am?" is one each one of us must also answer.
So who is Jesus Christ to you? Is he a living breathing part of your life? Do you talk to Him? Do you recognize what he did for you? It is part of our nature to want Jesus to write something in the clouds, to show us a miracle so we can REALLY believe. Jesus shows us miracles every day. We just have to open our hearts, eyes, ears and minds in daily happenings.
I recently told you about my friend who was in church and said. "If there is a God, show me a sign." Then a little boy gave him a piece of paper with the words, "God, Jesus, God, Jesus." Now that was a sign. Most of us will never receive a message in that form. We need to have FAITH! I believe Jesus is Christ, the Son of the living God. I learned that at the knees of my parents and grandparents. I learned that through watching my parents care for the people around them. I learned that by growing up in a faith-filled Church, Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
We are the Church. We come together to participate in the Holy Mass and break bread together as Jesus commanded his disciples to do. We say the words Jesus taught us as we say the Our Father. Let us all do more than just come to Mass on Sunday. Let us participate fully, believe more deeply that being at Mass will transform us more into the likeness of Jesus Christ.
