The 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time -- August 27, 2023

Who is Jesus Christ? Who do YOU say He is? We've probably all heard the readings for today, where Peter proclaims that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the Living God. But what does that mean? And why did some say he was a prophet, like Elijah? Did the Jews believe in reincarnation? We'll answer these questions and more in today's Scripture readings for the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time and the commentary on those readings by Dr. Peter Kreeft from his book, "Food for the Soul", Reflections on the Mass Readings for Cycle A. Scripture readings are from the Lectionary for Mass for Use in the Dioceses of the United States of America, second typical edition, Copyright Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Inc., used with permission.
