(Ss. Peter and Paul, Apostles)
Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” . . . Simon Peter said in reply, “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.” Mt_16:13-19
Two thousand years later, Jesus still stands as Head of His Church here on earth, with the successor of Peter as it’s visible head and His faithful as its priests, both domestic and ecclesiastical. Human and divine, saints and sinners, we are one church, His body! One body of Christ! Only in Him will there ever be blessed unity. Trust in Jesus, beloved, and LIVE!
