Peter & Paul

Solemnity Saints Peter
and Paul

Introduction:

Jesus played on Peter's name which is the same word for "rock" in both Aramaic and Greek. To call someone a "rock" is one of the greatest of compliments.

The New Testament describes the church, the people of God, as a spiritual house or temple with each member joined together as living stones (see 1 Peter 2:5). Faith in Jesus Christ makes us into rocks or spiritual stones. The Lord Jesus tests each of us personally with the same question: Who do you say that I am?

We can say — "Lord Jesus, I profess and believe that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Make my faith strong like the Apostles Peter and Paul
