THE GOSPEL
Matthew 16:13-20Peter said in reply, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living.”
In a flash,
Simon Peter saw
who Jesus
is:
one
as fast
as lightening,
slow as a breeze
as it caresses a field.
Spirit,
show us too.
THE FIRST READING
Isaiah 22:19-23
He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
and to the house of Judah.
Spirit of God, please,
fix the love of Christ in us,
like a round peg
in a round
hole.
Make
us your
one Church that
“fathers-forth”* through the
entire world.
THE SECOND READING
Romans 11:33-36
How inscrutable are his judgments and how unsearchable his ways!
Who has known your mind, O God?
Who has been your
counselor?
All things are from you
and through you
and with
you.
We
are
on earth
to glorify you
in the depths of your
riches and wisdom and knowledge!
Let us do that,
please.
