Who do you say Jesus is?

In the Gospel Reading for the 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time Jesus asks a difficult question:

Luke 9:18: “Once when Jesus was praying in solitude, and the disciples were with him, he asked them, ‘Who do the crowds say that I am?’

(Via USCCB.)

Only Peter had the right answer, that Jesus is Christ the Lord.

Who do you say that Jesus is? Is HE the Lord and Savior of your life, or do you have other masters?

If you are reading this blog, chances are that alcohol or some other addiction is or has been a master in your life. That may no longer hold true. Is there anything competing for Jesus’ attention?

Are you a creative Catholic? "The Catholicpunk Manifesto" is my new book exhorting Catholics to apply their faith to change the culture for the better!

Know someone, perhaps yourself, who might like Catholic devotionals for alcoholics? Please take a look at my books! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
