St Vincent de Paul

Ecclesiastes 1:2-11; Psalm 90; Luke 9:7-9

Who is this Jesus?

Incredible achievements in word and action beg such a question. The answers unfold for us in scripture. Jesus is the Messiah of God, the Son of Man, and My Son, My Chosen. Speculation by some that Jesus was the long-deceased prophet Elijah returned is significant. A prophet is a proclaimer of God’s truth. From our baptism we are also prophets, called to speak the truth of God in word and deed. To speak the truth of God we firstly need to have a personal encounter with Jesus Christ, our way, truth and life.
