Queridos hermanos y hermanas: La fiesta de hoy me brinda la oportunidad de volver a meditar una vez más en la confesión de san Pedro, momento decisivo del camino de los discípulos con Jesús. Los evangelios sinópticos la sitúan en las cercanías de Cesarea de Filipo .San Juan, por su parte, nos conserva otra significativa confesión de san Pedro, después del milagro de los panes y del discurso de Jesús en la sinagoga de Cafarnaúm .San Mateo, en el texto que se acaba de proclamar, recuerda que Jesús atribuyó a Simón el sobrenombre de Cefas, "Piedra". Jesús afirma que quiere edificar "sobre esta piedra" su Iglesia y, desde esta perspectiva, confiere a san Pedro el poder de las llaves. En efecto, hay que ir hasta el fondo; es preciso reconocer la singularidad de la persona de Jesús de Nazaret, su novedad. También hoy sucede lo mismo: muchos se acercan a Jesús, por decirlo así, desde fuera. Grandes estudiosos reconocen su talla espiritual y moral y su influjo en la historia de la humanidad, comparándolo a Buda, Confucio, Sócrates y a otros sabios y grandes personajes de la historia. Pero no llegan a reconocerlo en su unicidad. Viene a la memoria lo que Jesús dijo a Felipe durante la última Cena: "¿Tanto tiempo hace que estoy con vosotros y no me conoces Fe-lipe?. A menudo Jesús es considerado también como uno de los grandes fundadores de religiones, de los que cada uno puede tomar algo para formarse una convicción propia. Por tanto, como entonces, también hoy la "gente" tiene opiniones diversas sobre Jesús. Y como entonces, también a nosotros, discípulos de hoy, Jesús nos repite su pregunta: "Y vosotros ¿quién decís que soy yo?". Queremos hacer nuestra la respuesta de san Pedro. Según el evangelio de san Marcos, dijo: "Tú eres el Cristo"; en san Lucas, la afirmación es: "El Cristo de Dios"; en san Mateo: "Tú eres el Cristo, el Hijo de Dios vivo"; por último, en san Juan: "Tú eres el Santo de Dios". Todas esas respuestas son exactas y valen también para nosotros. Consideremos, en particular, el texto de san Mateo, recogido en la liturgia de hoy. Según algunos estudiosos, la fórmula que aparece en él presupone el contexto post-pascual e incluso estaría vinculada a una aparición personal de Jesús resucitado a san Pedro; una aparición análoga a la que tuvo san Pablo en el camino de Damasco. Estos textos dicen claramente que la integridad de la fe cristiana se da en la confesión de san Pedro, iluminada por la enseñanza de Jesús sobre su "camino" hacia la gloria, es decir, sobre su modo absolutamente singular de ser el Mesías y el Hijo de Dios. Un "camino" estrecho, un "modo" escandaloso para los discípulos de todos los tiempos, que inevitablemente se inclinan a pensar según los hombres y no según Dios. También hoy, como en tiempos de Jesús, no basta poseer la correcta confesión de fe: es necesario aprender siem-pre de nuevo del Señor el modo propio como él es el Salvador y el camino por el que debemos seguirlo. Dear Brothers and Sister, Today's Feast offers me the opportunity to meditate once again on Peter's confession, the decisive moment in the journey of the disciples with Jesus. The Synoptic Gospels have it take place in the district of Caesarea Philippi. John, for his part, keeps for us another important confession by Peter, after the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and Jesus' Address in the Synagogue of Capernaum. Matthew, in the text just proclaimed, recalls Jesus' attribution of the nickname Cephas, "Rock", to Simon. Jesus said that he desired to build his Church "on this rock" and with this in view, conferred on Peter the power of the keys. It clearly emerges from these accounts that Peter's confession is inseparable from his pastoral duty to Christ's flock which was entrusted to him. According to all the Evangelists, Simon's confession takes place at a crucial moment in Jesus' life when, after preaching in Galilee, he resolutely set out for Jerusalem in order to bring his saving mission to completion with his death on the Cross and his Resurrection. The disciples were involved in this decision: Jesus invited them to make a choice that would bring them to distin-guish themselves from the crowd so as to become the community of those who believed in him, his "family", the beginning of the Church. In fact, there are two ways of "seeing" and "knowing" Jesus: one - that of the crowd - is more superficial; the other - that of the disciples - more penetrating and genuine. With his twofold question: "What do the people say?" and "who do you say that I am?", Jesus invited the disciples to become aware of this different perspective. The people thought that Jesus was a prophet. This was not wrong, but it does not suffice; it is inadequate. In fact, it was a matter of delving deep, of recognizing the uniqueness of the person of Jesus of Nazareth and his newness. This is how it still is today: many people draw near to Jesus, as it were, from the outside. Great scholars recognize his spiritual and moral stature and his influence on human history, comparing him to Buddha, Confucius, Socrates, and other wise and important historical figures. Yet they do not manage to recognize him in his uniqueness. What Jesus said to Philip at the Last Supper springs to mind: "Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip?. Jesus is often also con-sidered as one of the great founders of a religion from which everyone may take something to form his or her own conviction. Today too, "people" have different opinions about Jesus, just as they did then. And as he did then, Jesus also repeats his question to us, his disciples today: "And who do you say that I am?". Let us make Peter's answer our own. According to the Gospel of Mark he said: "You are the Christ"; in Luke, the affirmation is: "The Christ of God"; in Matthew resounds, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God; finally, in John: "You are the Holy One of God". These are all correct answers which are also right for us. Let us reflect on Matthew's text in particular, quot-ed by today's liturgy. According to certain experts, the formula which appears there presupposes the post-Resurrection context and might even be connected with a personal appearance of the Risen Jesus to Peter, an appear-ance similar to that which Paul experienced on the road to Damascus. These texts clearly say that the integrity of the Christian faith stems from the confession of Peter, illumined by the teaching of Jesus on his "way" toward glory, that is, on his absolutely unique way, being the Messiah and the Son of God. It was a narrow "way", a shocking "manner" for the disciples of every age, who are inevitably led to think according to men rather than according to God. Today too, as in Jesus' day, it does not suffice to possess the proper confession of faith: it is always necessary to learn anew from the Lord the actual way in which he is Saviour and the path on which we must follow him.
