D A I L Y G O S P E L
Peter is given a role of primacy among the Apostles. This does not mean that he is more important than the rest, but it does mean that he has a role to play as a principle of unity for all. Let us pray today for unity among Christians so that the stumbling blocks to that unity will disappear by the hand of the Holy Spirit as He unites all Christians in one witness to the Gospel of salvation.
ALLELUIA
R: Alleluia, alleluia
You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church; the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.
R: Alleluia, alleluia
Matthew 16:13-19
13 When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17 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. 18 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. 19 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.”
