TWELFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

June 23, 2013__________________________________________

ALL OF YOU ARE ONE IN CHRIST JESUS!

At a critical moment in his public ministry Christ puts a question to the apostles concerning his true identity. He was anxious to know what people thought of him: ‘Who do people say that I am?’ It comes as no surprise that the vast majority were confused and mistook him for one of the prophets of old. Very few were interested in discovering accurate details about the private person behind the public face, who didn’t bribe people with empty promises but stated that there was a price to pay for discipleship. The only one that gave the correct answer was Peter, but while he spoke the right words his appreciation lacked depth. When the crunch came at Calvary he turned his back and denied all association with Christ. ‘I do not know the Man.’ Recognizing who exactly Christ is, and what he means in our lives, is undoubtedly a priority for all of us who call ourselves Christians. We cannot hope to form a meaningful relationship with Christ, and dedicate our lives to him, unless we know who he really is.

We find the cross everywhere in life, and do not have to go searching for it. It’s already on our shoulders in parenthood, unemployment, in the loss of life’s partner, in the death of a child and in the pain of a family feud. All we need to do is to carry it willingly by offering up our daily sufferings with those of Christ. One of the paradoxes of the gospel is that life comes from death. In the midst of this season of growth when the countryside is teeming with life, Jesus reminds us that only when we die will we truly live. God cannot help those who deny their sin.
