Gospel Reading Matthew 16:13-19
“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.” (Matthew 16:18-19)
Lord Jesus, You entrusted Your power and authority to St. Peter and to all of his successors.
I thank You for the gift of our Pope.
I pray for him and offer him to You for Your guidance and protection.
I renew my faith in the gift of the Holy Father and in Your promise to lead us always through him.
May my faith in Your Church bring me consolation and hope as we all move forward to the goal of our salvation, the glorious Kingdom of Heaven.
Amen.
