Within our Scripture readings today are

deep, and at times, controversial questions.

Jesus asks his disciples: “Who do people

say that I am?” Then he asks Peter, “But

who do you say that I am?” Like Peter, all

Christian faiths today proclaim that Jesus

is the Christ, the anointed one. Despite our

common proclamation, the second reading

often serves as a proof text that separates

Catholics from our Protestant brothers and

sisters. Does faith alone save or does faith

combined with corporal and spiritual works

save us? These questions invite us to delve

more deeply into the mysteries of God.

"Get behind me, Satan. You are thinking not as God does, but

as human beings do." - Mark 8:33

First Reading: Isaiah 50:5-9a The Lord God is my help. Second Reading: James 50:5-9a The Lord God is my help. Gospel: Mark 8:27-35 Who do you say that I am?
