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)

We have keys to the kingdom of heaven. Well, not we, but St. Peter, but still Our Lord gave it to St. Peter and every Pope has the same authority. Our Lord wants us in heaven, and every Pope helps us to understand and recognize what is most important in current days, how we can grow, and how we can serve others. Both St. Paul VI and John Paul II reminds us, that there is no more important service than to marriages and families.

“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)
