Who do you say that I am?

Jesus called his first disciples who left their boats to follow him. Later, after they had been with him as he healed others, preached, left them to pray, and enjoyed many meals with them, he asks them: "But you, who do you say I am?" He is still asking each of us this same question and waits for our answer. We are unique and so each of us must give our own answer to his question found in the Gospel for this Sunday.

We might also reflect on the Psalm for this Sunday:

Responsorial Psalm Ps 63:2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9

R. (2b) My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
O God, you are my God whom I seek;
for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts
like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water.
R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary
to see your power and your glory,
For your kindness is a greater good than life;
my lips shall glorify you.
R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
Thus will I bless you while I live;
lifting up my hands, I will call upon your name.
As with the riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied,
and with exultant lips my mouth shall praise you.
R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
You are my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy.
My soul clings fast to you;
your right hand upholds me.
R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
