I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of heaven

“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.” (MT 16:18-19)

Today we celebrate the feast of two Apostles: the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul–two totally different personalities, different positions and professions, and different missions, but united in their service to Our Lord. Chosen to be His witnesses, they served Him until their death. 

“You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.” (Gospel Acclamation)
