We Must Confess the Same Gospel as the Apostles

Praised Be Jesus Christ!

Today is the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, and today’s Gospel Reading is Mt 16:13-19. Today we have Peter’s great confession of faith and his being renamed Peter, that is “rock”. We stand firm on this apostolic foundation, that of Peter and the other disciples. Peter made the first confession of faith in Jesus, and now, we make the confession of faith because of what the Apostles have handed on! 

Saints Peter and Paul pray for us that we might remain true to the Gospel you devoted your lives to preaching.
