24th Sunday, B
Today we have St. Mark’s account of Peter’s great confession of faith, the definitive answer to the question Jesus puts to all his followers,
“Who do you say that I am?”
Peter, first among the Apostles, answers with the confession that includes within it the whole of our Catholic faith,
“You are the Christ.”
But then, as we heard, something goes wrong. Once Peter makes this glorious statement, Jesus begins to explain to him what being the Christ will mean, and Peter has a hard time accepting it.
