The Apostle Peter Holding the Keys to the
Kingdom of Heaven, by Paul Reubins.
Thus says the LORD to Shebna, master
of the palace: "I will thrust
you from your office and pull you down from your station. On that day I will summon my servant Eliakim, son of
Hilkiah; I will clothe him
with your robe, and gird him with your sash, and give over to him your authority. He shall be a father to the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
I will place the key of the House of David on Eliakim's
shoulder; when he opens, no one shall shut when he shuts, no one shall open. I will fix him like a peg in a sure
spot, to be a place of honor for his family."
R. (8bc) Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the
work of your hands.
I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with all my heart,
for you have heard the words of my mouth;
in the presence of the angels I will sing your praise;
I will worship at your holy temple.
R. Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands.
I will give thanks to your name,
because of your kindness and your truth:
When I called, you answered me;
you built up strength within me.
R. Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands.
The LORD is exalted, yet the lowly he sees,
and the proud he knows from afar.
Your kindness, O LORD, endures forever;
forsake not the work of your hands.
R. Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands.
Reading 2 ROM 11:33-36
Oh, the depth of the riches and
wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and how
unsearchable his ways!
For who has known the mind of the Lord
or who has been his counselor?
Or who has given the Lord anything
that he may be repaid?
For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church
and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel MT 16:13-20
Jesus went into the region of
Caesarea Philippi and 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." Then he strictly ordered his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
