THE MEANING OF QUO VADIS
In the years following Jesus' Resurrection, the Roman officials became upset by how fast Christianity was growing, primarily by the influence of St. Peter.
As Peter was fleeing Rome, he had a life-altering encounter with Christ. Peter has a vision of Jesus walking back toward the city. In pure shock, Peter asked, " Quo Vadis, Domine?" which means, "Where are you going, Lord?"
Jesus answered him, "I am going back to Rome to be crucified a second time."
Peter immediately understood what Jesus meant, turn around and continued his work in Rome and offered his life for Christ.
