Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus asked the apostles a question in today’s Gospel that today has asks us: “‘who do you say that I am?’” Who do we believe Jesus is? St. James reminds us in the second reading that what we believe about Jesus will be manifested in our actions. Our actions show what our hearts, minds, and souls, believe about Jesus. The more that we believe Jesus is who He says He is, the more we change our lives to look more like what He teaches us through the Scriptures and the Church. What do our lives say about who we believe Jesus is? Put another, albeit cliché, way: if we were put on trial for being Catholic, would there be enough evidence to convict us?
