Friends of the Rosary,

In today’s Gospel (Matthew 16:13-23), Jesus, in the region of Caesarea Philippi, asked his disciples a turning-point question:

“Who do you say that I am?”

The disciples were afraid to respond until finally Peter spoke:

“You are the Christ, 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.”

Peter received a revelation from the Eternal Father and rightly answered that Jesus was the “Messiah”, the Anointed One, the long-awaited Savior of the human race.

Our lives cannot be the same. The Church of Christ, built upon the Petrine faith, comes from the inconceivable power of the Almighty.

And as today’s Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 95:1-2, 6-7, 8-9) states,  If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
