February 22, 2025: Feast of the Chair of St. Peter

Christ asked His apostles Who people though He was, and then pointed the question directly at them.

St. Peter responded with a declaration of faith, that Christ is Son of the Living God.

Christ acclaimed St. Peter for expressing what God the Father revealed to Him, and furthermore stated that the Church would be built on the rock of him, who made such a profession.

We, the Church, continue to ground ourselves on that rock of faith, professing what God the Father reveals to us, which the Church has stewarded through the centuries, with the successors of the apostles, the Pope and the other bishops, guiding as shepherds.

By faithfully upholding this Truth of Who Christ is, we advance the Kingdom on Earth as we reveal in our lives the Living God.
