Then Simon Peter spoke up, ‘You are the Christ,’ he said, ‘the Son of the living God.’
Alleluia, alleluia!
You are Peter
and on this rock I will build my Church.
And the gates of the underworld can never hold out against it.
Alleluia!
Gospel
Matthew 16:13-20
You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi he put this question to his disciples, ‘Who do people say the Son of Man is?’ And they said, ‘Some say he is John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’ ‘But you,’ he said ‘who do you say I am?’ Then Simon Peter spoke up, ‘You are the Christ,’ he said, ‘the Son of the living God.’ Jesus replied, ‘Simon son of Jonah, you are a happy man! Because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you but my Father in heaven. So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church. And the gates of the underworld can never hold out against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: whatever you bind on earth shall be considered bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth shall be considered loosed in heaven.’ Then he gave the disciples strict orders not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
Lord with St Peter we say "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God".
Fill us with Faith that we may proclaim you as Lord.
Notes from meeting on 22 August 2023
Picture of Our Blessed Mother showering all Prayer Warriors and Groups with a cascade of graces! It seems Our Mother has prayed for extra graces to push back against the tide of darkness engulfing the World!
"My children,
be little, like your Mother, and pray in all humility to aid the conversion and return to God of poor souls! Some souls without your heartfelt prayers will be lost! If You pray with me to God the Father he will take action through the Holy Spirit and many will turn back to my Son. Without my Son Jesus they cannot get to Heaven. I have prayed to the Holy Trinity to give all persons who pray extra strength, courage and especially the grace to love and keep going even in the face of my Adversary, each of you are my Son’s and Daughters given to me at the foot of my Son’s Cross, I am always with you, never underestimate my Maternal love for you or my prayer to aid you in the conversion of your own soul and the conversion of all souls.
I call you to the grace of my Immaculate Heart, there you will find not only Peace but the quiet strength to keep up the good fight for souls.
Mary"

Fundraiser.
Until the end of 2023 I am helping fundraise for the Alice House Hospice in Hartlepool, this facility cared for my wife Ann during her last month of illness before she passed away. The Hospice relies on donations to keep running so please be as generous as you are able.
So far I have raised £45 - and walked 50 miles.
