Thursday 9 August
St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)
Ps 51; Jeremiah 31:31-34; Matthew 16: 13-23
The Rock
“And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church.”
Jesus appoints Peter (the Rock) to lead the Christians after His death. Are we the rocks that the church relies on now? Jesus can make us rocks so that we have the courage to carry on with our faith and especially in difficult times to support our bishops, priests and religious.
