The Confession of Saint Peter

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of the Confession of Saint Peter, a remembrance that, by God’s grace, Peter was lead to acknowledge Jesus as “the Christ, the Son of the living God.” This confession, the rock of the Christian faith, is the rock upon which the Church is built.

Prayer of the Day
Almighty God, who inspired your apostle Saint Peter to confess Jesus as Christ and Son of the living God: build up your Church upon this rock, that in unity and peace it may proclaim one truth and follow one Lord, your Son our Savior Christ, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
