INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK -

“Who do you say that I am?” Jesus asks His apostles.

Peter is the first to answer: “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.”

After hearing the Gospel proclaimed at Mass this weekend, may we carry that question with us into the week. Do we truly know who Jesus is—and do our lives show it?

In everything we do and everything we are, may we say with Peter: “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” 🙏

🙏 Our Diocese is partnering with Hallow!
