In today’s Gospel, Jesus asks who people say he is. Some people think he is Elijah or another prophet. But then Jesus asks the disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” Peter then affirms that Jesus is the Christ. (Lk 9:20)

Is your life reflecting who Jesus is? Do you live as though you believe in Him? Or do you live as anyone else you may pass on the street who doesn’t know and love Jesus? 

Today we celebrate the feast of St. Vincent de Paul. He was a French priest who dedicated himself to serving the poor. There are St. Vincent de Paul Societies in virtually every corner of the globe, devoted to serving the needs of God’s precious children. Because St. Vincent de Paul knew who Christ was and affirmed him as Lord in his life, he was able to go and minister to those who needed it most. 

The same can be true for us. Ask Jesus to show you His Lordship in your life, and ask to be transformed by it, so that you may then go out and transform the world.
