제1독서
하까이 예언서. 1,15ㄴㅡ2,9
15 다리우스 임금 제이년이었다. 2,1 그해 일곱째 달 스무하룻날에 주님의 말씀이 하까이 예언자를 통하여 내렸다.
2 “너는 스알티엘의 아들 즈루빠벨 유다 총독과 여호차닥의 아들 예수아 대사제와 나머지 백성에게 말하여라. 3 ‘너희 가운데 이 집의 옛 영화를 본 사람들이 남아 있지 않느냐? 지금은 이 집이 너희에게 어떻게 보이느냐? 너희 눈에도 있으나마나 하지 않느냐?
4 그러나 즈루빠벨아, 이제 용기를 내어라. 주님의 말씀이다. 여호차닥의 아들 예수아 대사제야, 용기를 내어라. 이 땅의 모든 백성아, 용기를 내어라. 주님의 말씀이다. 내가 너희와 함께 있으니 일을 하여라. 만군의 주님의 말씀이다. 5 너희가 이집트에서 나올 때에 내가 너희와 맺은 언약대로 나의 영이 너희 가운데에 머무를 터이니 너희는 두려워하지 마라.
6 ─ 정녕 만군의 주님께서 이렇게 말씀하신다. ─ 머지않아 나는 다시 하늘과 땅, 바다와 뭍을 뒤흔들리라. 7 내가 모든 민족들을 뒤흔들리니 모든 민족들의 보화가 이리 들어오리라. 그리하여 내가 이 집을 영광으로 가득 채우리라. ─ 만군의 주님께서 말씀하신다. ─
8 은도 나의 것, 금도 나의 것이다. 만군의 주님의 말씀이다. 9 이 집의 새 영광이 이전의 영광보다 더 크리라. ─ 만군의 주님께서 말씀하신다. ─ 내가 이곳에 평화를 주리라. 만군의 주님의 말씀이다.’”
복음
루카. 9,18-22
18 예수님께서 혼자 기도하실 때에 제자들도 함께 있었는데, 그분께서 “군중이 나를 누구라고 하느냐?” 하고 물으셨다.
19 제자들이 대답하였다. “세례자 요한이라고 합니다. 그러나 어떤 이들은 엘리야라 하고, 또 어떤 이들은 옛 예언자 한 분이 다시 살아나셨다고 합니다.”
20 예수님께서 다시, “그러면 너희는 나를 누구라고 하느냐?” 하시자, 베드로가 “하느님의 그리스도이십니다.” 하고 대답하였다.
21 그러자 예수님께서는 제자들에게, 그것을 아무에게도 말하지 말라고 엄중하게 분부하셨다. 22 예수님께서는 이어서 이르셨다. “사람의 아들은 반드시 많은 고난을 겪고 원로들과 수석 사제들과 율법 학자들에게 배척을 받아 죽임을 당하였다가 사흘 만에 되살아나야 한다.”

Reading 1 Hg 2:1-9
on the twenty-first day of the seventh month,
the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai:
Tell this to the governor of Judah,
Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel,
and to the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak,
and to the remnant of the people:
Who is left among you
that saw this house in its former glory?
And how do you see it now?
Does it not seem like nothing in your eyes?
But now take courage, Zerubbabel, says the LORD,
and take courage, Joshua, high priest, son of Jehozadak,
And take courage, all you people of the land,
says the LORD, and work!
For I am with you, says the LORD of hosts.
This is the pact that I made with you
when you came out of Egypt,
And my spirit continues in your midst;
do not fear!
For thus says the LORD of hosts:
One moment yet, a little while,
and I will shake the heavens and the earth,
the sea and the dry land.
I will shake all the nations,
and the treasures of all the nations will come in,
And I will fill this house with glory,
says the LORD of hosts.
Mine is the silver and mine the gold,
says the LORD of hosts.
Greater will be the future glory of this house
than the former, says the LORD of hosts;
And in this place I will give you peace,
says the LORD of hosts!
Responsorial Psalm Ps 43:1, 2, 3, 4
Do me justice, O God, and fight my fight
against a faithless people;
from the deceitful and impious man rescue me.
R. Hope in God; I will praise him, my savior and my God.
For you, O God, are my strength.
Why do you keep me so far away?
Why must I go about in mourning,
with the enemy oppressing me?
R. Hope in God; I will praise him, my savior and my God.
Send forth your light and your fidelity;
they shall lead me on
And bring me to your holy mountain,
to your dwelling place.
R. Hope in God; I will praise him, my savior and my God.
Then will I go in to the altar of God,
the God of my gladness and joy;
Then will I give you thanks upon the harp,
O God, my God!
R. Hope in God; I will praise him, my savior and my God.
Alleluia Mk 10:45
The Son of Man came to serve
and to give his life as a ransom for many.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel Lk 9:18-22
and the disciples were with him,
he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"
They said in reply, "John the Baptist; others, Elijah;
still others, 'one of the ancient prophets has arisen.'"
Then he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Peter said in reply, "The Christ of God."
He rebuked them and directed them not to tell this to anyone.
He said, "The Son of Man must suffer greatly
and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
and be killed and on the third day be raised."

«What do people say about me? (...). Who do you say I am?»
Fr. Pere OLIVA i March
(Sant Feliu de Torelló, Barcelona, Spain)
Today, in the Gospel we find two questions that our Master is asking to all of us. The first one requires an approximate statistical reply: «What do people say about me?» (Lk 9:18). This forces us to look around and see how others answer this question: our neighbours, our work mates, our friends, our closest relatives... We look about ourselves and we feel more or less responsible or close —depending upon the cases— for some of the replies given by those who have some connection with our environment, and us “the people”... And, their answers say a lot, inform us, position us and make us realize what those who live next to us are looking for, what they need, what they desire. It helps us to tune in, to discover a meeting point with the other party, to grow closer...
But, there is a second question for us: «Who then do you say I am?» (Lk 9:20). This becomes a fundamental question knocking at our door; a question demanding from each one of us: adhesion or denial; veneration or aloofness; to walk along with him and in him or just end up a relationship of simple sympathy... This is a delicate and determining question, because it affects us. What do our lips and attitude say? Do we want to be faithful to Him who is and gives a meaning to our life? Is there to be found a sincere disposition in us to follow him in our journey through life? Are we ready to go with him to the Jerusalem of the Cross and the Glory?
«It is a path of Cross and Resurrection (...). The Cross is the Exaltation of Christ. He said it too: ‘When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to Me’. It is evident, therefore, that the Cross is the Glory and exaltation of Christ» (St. Andrew of Crete). Are we then ready to move on to Jerusalem? only with him and in him, is this not so?

In today’s Gospel reading we get a glimpse of Jesus praying alone, but in the presence of His disciples. Jesus has just given the disciples bread which has been blessed and broken to distribute to the five thousand hungry searchers.
Now they are by themselves and it is attractive to imagine what was Jesus’ prayer about that would move Him to ask these same disciples about what people are saying about Him. Peter, of course, gives the up-to-the-moment response. Jesus is not a recurrence but an incarnate occurrence of the Searching God. Peter says simply, “You are the Christ of God.” This statement Peter has not learned in Disciple School, but from his experiences he has had of the inexplainable.
For various good reasons Jesus encourages His disciples not to spread this revelation to anybody else. At this point in Luke’s account, Jesus will be offering other persons the opportunity to make their own responses to His invitations. Not all will make the same response as Peter. Jesus does not convince, but invites a free affirmation of Who He is to them.
In the Spanish language there are two separate words for “to know”. one is “saber” which denotes knowing factually. A person knows data, objectively, thingly. The other word, “conocer” means to know personally, that is about the “who” and not jus the “what” of someone or something. To know an other person, not as object, but as a personal subject, means knowing, receiving, entering into the space and life-experience of the other or others.
This form, of intimacy or knowing, involves the knower’s also being known by the other, the known. Intimacy involves knowing as we are known. Peter pipes up not merely as a spectator to all the activities of Jesus, but as someone who has received himself, because of his receiving Jesus as a real human person. It is rather easy for us to reflect what answer we would give today to Jesus’ question about His identity. The more intimate reflection is who is Jesus saying we are as we become more familiar in our knowing of Him.
Peter’s declaration is not comprehensive of course and he will be learning more and more from Jesus about what His being the Christ, really means. None of us knows anyone in a demystifying way. Jesus, as each one of us, is a mystery. Peter and the other disciples will be finding out more and more Who He is as the Christ. They also will be finding out who they are as fragile followers. It is a journey of discovery, this following and knowing of Jesus. When praying we will discover the love of the Christ for us, keeps giving us our old, but renewed self. Jesus does not create a new person when attracting His disciples and followers. Peter remains Peter the fisherman. We would wish so often that we could change. What does change, by our knowing and being known, is how sacred His knowing of us actually is. The Eucharist and our personal prayer are encounters with a God Who desires to be known and loved as the Creating, knowing and loving never-ending Creator. In our receiving of the Eucharist and in our own personal prayer, the Anointed shares, distributes His sacred anointing with us and we are invited to know this personally in knowing Him as personally as we are able.

| "The word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai: Tell this to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and to the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak, and to the remnant of the people." �Haggai 2:1-2 | ||
The Lord in His perfect plan of salvation put a prophet, a governor, and a priest together to rebuild the Temple, restore God's people, and renew the world. Historically, prophets were often persecuted by government authorities and priests. Sometimes governors or kings tried to usurp the rights of the priesthood. Then prophets railed at the government for its sin, sacrilege, and idolatry. Thus, it was rare for prophets, governors or kings, and priests to converge in solidarity and bring about renewal for God's people. When Jesus became incarnate, these three roles, which had seldom come together, were united for the first time in the person of Jesus. He is the Prophet foretold by Moses (Dt 18:18; Acts 3:22ff). Jesus is "the King of kings and Lord of lords" (1 Tm 6:15). He is the eternal High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek (Heb 5:10). Moreover, those who have been baptized into Jesus share in His prophecy, kingship, and priesthood (Catechism, 1546). Thus, by living our Baptisms in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we can renew the face of the earth (see Ps 104:30). | ||
| Prayer: Father, may I love the Church so much that I am willing to die to renew her. | ||
| Promise: "Bring me to Your holy mountain, to Your dwelling-place. Then will I go in to the altar of God, the God of my gladness and joy." —Ps 43:3-4 | ||
| Praise: Besides serving his parish, St. Vincent de Paul founded congregations for the missions and the poor. He is well known for his charitable organization. He was a pioneer in clerical training and was instrumental in establishing seminaries. |

Who do you say that Jesus is?"
Who is Jesus for you - and what difference does he make in your life? Many in Israel recognized Jesus as a mighty man of God, even comparing him with the greatest of the prophets. Peter, always quick to respond whenever Jesus spoke, professed that Jesus was truly the "Christ of God" - "the Son of the living God" (Matthew 16:16). No mortal being could have revealed this to Peter, but only God. Through the "eyes of faith" Peter discovered who Jesus truly was. Peter recognized that Jesus was much more than a great teacher, prophet, and miracle worker. Peter was the first apostle to publicly declare that Jesus was the Anointed one, consecrated by the Father and sent into the world to redeem a fallen human race enslaved to sin and cut off from eternal life with God (Luke 9:20, Acts 2:14-36). The word for "Christ" in Greek is a translation of the Hebrew word for "Messiah" - both words literally mean the Anointed one.
Jesus begins to explain the mission he was sent to accomplish
Why did Jesus command his disciples to be silent about his identity as the anointed Son of God? They were, after all, appointed to proclaim the good news to everyone. Jesus knew that they did not yet fully understand his mission and how he would accomplish it. Cyril of Alexandria (376-444 AD), an early church father, explains the reason for this silence:
God's Anointed Son must suffer and die to atone for our sins
Jesus told his disciples that it was necessary for the Messiah to suffer and die in order that God's work of redemption might be accomplished. How startled the disciples were when they heard this word. How different are God's thoughts and ways from our thoughts and ways (Isaiah 55:8). It was through humiliation, suffering, and death on the cross that Jesus broke the powers of sin and death and won for us eternal life and freedom from the slavery of sin and from the oppression of our enemy, Satan, the father of lies and the deceiver of humankind.
We, too, have a share in the mission and victory of Jesus Christ
If we want to share in the victory of the Lord Jesus, then we must also take up our cross and follow where he leads us. What is the "cross" that you and I must take up each day? When my will crosses (does not align) with God's will, then his will must be done. To know Jesus Christ is to know the power of his victory on the cross where he defeated sin and conquered death through his resurrection. The Holy Spirit gives each of us the gifts and strength we need to live as sons and daughters of God. The Holy Spirit gives us faith to know the Lord Jesus personally as our Redeemer, and the power to live the Gospel faithfully, and the courage to witness to others the joy, truth, and freedom of the Gospel. Who do you say that Jesus is?
"Lord Jesus, I believe and I profess that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Take my life, my will, and all that I have, that I may be wholly yours now and forever."
Psalm 43:1-5
1 Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people; from deceitful and unjust men deliver me!
2 For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 Oh send out your light and your truth; let them lead me, let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling!
4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy; and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God.
Daily Quote from the early church fathers: Peter confesses that Jesus is God's Anointed Son and Savior of all, by Cyril of Alexandria (376-444 AD)
"You see the skillfulness of the question. He [Jesus] did not at once say, 'Who do you say that I am?' He refers to the rumor of those that were outside their company. Then, having rejected it and shown it unsound, he might bring them back to the true opinion. It happened that way. When the disciples had said, 'Some, John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, and others, that some prophet of those in old time has risen up,' he said to them, 'But you, who do you say that I am?' Oh! how full of meaning is that word you! He separates them from all others, that they may also avoid the opinions of others. In this way, they will not conceive an unworthy idea about him or entertain confused and wavering thoughts. Then they will not also imagine that John had risen again, or one of the prophets. 'You,' he says, 'who have been chosen,' who by my decree have been called to the apostleship, who are the witnesses of my miracles. Who do you say that I am?'"
