For you, who am I? "

We know who Jesus is. St. Mark, the first verse of the gospel, told us that Jesus Christ is Lord, the day of baptism, a voice from heaven told us he is the "beloved son", and indeed the unclean spirits know, the ones who call it "Holy God" and "son of God."
We who are so knowledgeable, we may look a bit far scene at Caesarea Philippi. Yet the announcement that Jesus did is a real education - indeed the word chosen by Marc - and is the heart of the Christian message: the Messiah must be rejected, killed, and three days later to resurrect from the dead. But the rejection of Christ and his death is a vile stumbling block for the followers of all time. While Jesus is the Messiah, but a suffering messiah. Jesus carries the Cross invites us on the path of the Cross. That never fails to shake. So we'll probably better than command of silence for us too.
To confess with fruit that Jesus is the Messiah, we must enter into the contemplation of our Lord. We must look on the way to Jerusalem to understand that there is a meeting with Christ in weakness assumed, in the accepted vulnerability.
Our knowledge is clear: Jesus is the Messiah, the son of the living God, our Savior. Let us follow him to Jerusalem. Let us follow the paths of His Passion. Follow it in the power of the Spirit. We thus penetrate the enigma of his true identity. We contemplate the mystery of his heart open and available. So we can meet and proclaim the truth: "My Lord and my God." (F Dominica)
