Chair of Peter
This feast commemorates Christ?s choosing Peter to sit in his place as the
servant-authority of the whole Church (see June 29). After the ?lost
weekend? of pain, doubt and self-torment, Peter hears the Good News.
Angels at the tomb say to Magdalene, ?The Lord has risen! Go, tell his
disciples and Peter.? John relates that when he and Peter ran to the tomb,
the younger outraced the older, then waited for him. Peter entered, saw
the wrappings on the ground, the headpiece rolled up in a place by itself.
John saw and believed. But he adds a reminder: ?..[T]hey did not yet
understand the scripture that he had to rise from the dead? (John 20:9).
They went home. There the slowly exploding, impossible idea became
reality. Jesus appeared to them as they waited fearfully behind locked
doors. ?Peace be with you,? he said (John 20:21b), and they rejoiced.

Do not lord it over those assigned to you, but be examples to the flock.
And when the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the unfading
crown of glory. ~1 Peter 5:1-4

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 16:13-19

With these words Jesus chose Peter as the first leader of the Church the
person we know as our Pope. As we listen to our Holy Father may we always
see the presence of Christ Himself. May the Holy Spirit be always with
him, so he can be the best of leaders and teachers.

.=: P R A Y E R    F O R    T H E    D A Y :=.

I pray that I may listen to the Holy Father and follow his direction. I
pray that the Holy Spirit may always be with him to guide and help him.

We pray for the people of Haiti. We pray for great respect for life from
natural conception to natural death.  We pray for an end of terrorism and
war, for the safety of our troops and their families at home.

May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe!

Father Pat
