The Lord is My Shepherd

“You are the Christ, the son of the Living God.” Matthew 16:16

This quote gives me goosebumps. It was Peter’s answer to Jesus’ question – “Who do you say that I am?”
How did Peter know? Where did he come up with this answer? Did the Holy Spirit whisper it in His ear?
Does the Holy Spirit whisper in your ear?
I wonder.
I talk to my husband all the time. I keep praying that the communion of saints is real and true and that Rich hears every word I say. And then I get annoyed because I am not hearing any answer.
This faith of ours is such a mystery. And a gift. We may not have all the answers, but we know we can ask the questions. The answers will eventually come. In a word or a story or a homily or a chance meeting with a perfect stranger.
We just have to be silent. And listen. And trust.
Today’s Responsorial Psalm is “The Lord is my Shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.”
Amen.
