2 Twenty First Sunday in Ordinary Time You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God! You are Rock and on this rock I will build my Church. These are two affirmations which concern the faith of every believer. There is much more here than an exchange of compliments between Jesus the Son of Man and Simon the Son of John. Jesus asks his disciples what people are saying about the identity of the Son of Man. Consonant with the popular expectation that the prophet Elijah would return to usher in the Messianic Day of the Lord Mal 3:23-24), the crowds think perhaps he is Elijah or one of the other prophets, among whom they include John the Baptist. For surely, Jesus is a great prophet. He questions his followers again about their own interpretation of him. He is a prophet and more than a prophet. He does indeed usher in the messianic era because, the Church hears Peter say, he is himself the Messiah-and more than Messiah. He is Son of the Living God. It is not strange that we should hear from the lips of Peter this faith expression of the newly born Church at the beginning of it history. It is upon Peter s profession of faith that Jesus builds his Church. Through Peter, the man of first fervors, but also the disciple who would deny him. Jesus makes himself known. He charges Peter with the building up of his brothers an sisters until the coming of the kingdom. The Rock put his mark on the Church just as John, the mystic, or Paul, the missionary, did so in their own ways. The Church is above all the home of us poor believers, caught between faith and doubt, generosity and infidelity, but nevertheless stuttering with Peter, I believe.
