20170222 Gospel Mt 16:13-19

When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. 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."

Pamalandong:

Tag-saulog nato kuman adlawa an Feast of the Chair Saint Peter, Apostle.

Uno man na saulugon man nan Roman Catholic Church sa tibook kalibutan ini na piyesta na kon boot huna-hunaon, ingkuranan ra man ini ni Saint Peter?

Para dako, ang ingkuranan ni Saint Peter amo’y simbolo nan ija gahum nan tagsangunan sija ni Jesus nan pagka-lider nan Simbahan nan inlang’an sija ni Lord na: “Upon this rock I will build my Church,… I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of heaven.”

Ako, bilang isa ka alagad nan simbahan nan St.Peter Shrine and Parish Church sa Commonwealth Avenue, gusto ‘sab nako tungdan nan matinud-anon an ako responsibilidad isip isa ka lay minister, sa tabang sanan grasya ni God.

Hinaot unta na katung’dan ‘sab nato tanan mga katungdanan na tagpahimo dato ni God pinaagi sa ato mga buluhaton para sa komunidad sanan sa ato isigkatawo para sa karajawan nan tanan.

Ipangaliya nato kan Lord na hatagan kita Nija nan kusog sanan kinaad’man para katungdan nato an tanan nato mga buluhaton para sa kahimayaan ni God.
