Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time
Peter can declare with certainty that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the Living God, because God himself had chosen Peter and prepared him for a new and unique vocation. Only God, with his “unsearchable ways,” could bestow on Peter such clarity in the midst of the many false claims about the identity of Christ. Christ begins to use Peter as an instrument—a Vicar—by which the Lord will open heaven to the world, and “what he opens, no one shall shut.” All that Peter is and does is from Christ, “for from him and through him and for him are all things.”
INTENTIONS
Pope Leo XIV has urged Catholics across the globe to join him this July in praying for respect for human life.
He released the monthly “Pray with the Pope” video on Thursday, which is prepared by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network.
In his prayer, the Pope recognized that the Lord has created each of us in love and called us to live in fullness.
"Each person is a sacred gift that reflects your face," he said, "from the first instant of existence to the final breath of their journey on earth."
"Today," he continued, "we ask for the grace to recognise and protect the unique and unrepeatable value of every human being."
