In his reflections on the Sunday Gospel, Pope Francis reminds us that knowledge of the Lord is important, but so also is following Him and letting ourselves be transformed by His Gospel so that we can truly be converted.
Recounting the Gospel of today's liturgy when Jesus asks his disciples, “But who do you say that I am?," Pope Francis recalled how Peter answered the Lord, saying"You are the Christ." He answered perfectly, the Pope observed, but moments later when Jesus speaks about the suffering and death He must suffer, Peter objects to it and the Lord strongly rebukes him, saying, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are not on the side of God, but of men.
The Pope underscored the importance of our relationship and encounter with the Lord in order to know Him. He said this encounter is what changes your life: the way you are, the way you think, the relationships you have with your brothers and sisters, the readiness to accept and forgive, the choices you make in life.
The Pope said we also would do well to ask ourselves who Jesus is in our own lives, and whether we follow Him only in word or if we are really open to a personal encounter with the Lord who can transform our lives. The Pope prayed that the Blessed Mother may help us in this effort.
