SOLEMNITY OF STS. PETER AND PAUL GOSPEL Mt 16:13-19 You are Peter, and I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples, Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said in reply, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” ---- Dear Lord God, help us to be loyal to the teachings of the Church and that we acknowledge every minute of our lives that you are indeed the Son of the living God. Amen.
