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»
Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»
