Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter the Apostle

Year of Saint Joseph 

Readings of the Day

RB: Ch 18:7-11

Mass: 1 Pt 5:1-4; Resp Ps 23; Mt 16:13-19

The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.

BUT WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?

As we enter another Monday and march on during this holy season of Lent, now in the First Week, we ask Jesus to help us grow in our faith and understanding of who He is. May we join Saint Peter: You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God (Mt 16:16). And may we heed Saint Peter words and be "examples to the flock" (1 Pt 5:3). One way to go about that is provided by Pope Francis:

Pass on the fire of Jesus' merciful love. Be for everyone a sign of His presence among you.
(Pope Francis, on this, the 90th anniversary of the first apparition of the Merciful Jesus to Saint Maria Faustina Kolwalska in Plock, Poland)

HEART OF JESUS, PATIENT AND MOST MERCIFUL,
HAVE MERCY ON US.

SAINT PETER THE APOSTLE,
SAINT JOSEPH,
SAINT FAUSTINA KOLWALSKA,
PRAY FOR US.
