Gospel text (Mathew 16,13-19): Jesus came to Caesarea
Philippi. He asked his disciples, «Who do people say the Son of Man is?». They
said, «For some of them you are John the Baptist, for others Elijah or Jeremiah
or one of the prophets». Jesus asked them, «But you, who do you say I am?».
Peter answered, «You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God». Jesus
replied, «It is well for you, Simon Barjona, for it is not flesh or blood that
has revealed this to you but my Father in heaven. And now I say to you: You are
Peter (or Rock) and on this rock I will build my Church; and never will the
powers of death overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven:
whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and what you unbind on
earth shall be unbound in heaven»
Dear Mr. Harper. As our leader, I am appealing to you two months now, before July 1 st , Canada day, on which we celebrate the nation we are wanting to be, and on which I have committed to the Lord, my walking pilgrimage to the Shrine in Midland, Ontario; that commemorate our true martyrs, people like us, who gave everything for the building of our nation, in the only possible way a nation could ever be build, by giving everything to God.
