almighty god that no tempest may disturb us for you have set us fast on the rock of the apostle peter's confession of faith through our lord jesus christ your son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit god forever and ever amen so a reading from the first letter of peter now as an elder myself and a witness of the sufferings of christ as well as one who shares in the glory to be revealed i exhort the elders among you to tend the flock of god that is in your charge exercising the overseeing not under compulsion but willingly as god would have you do it not for sordid gain but eagerly do not lord it over those in your charge but be examples to the flock and when the chief shepherd appears you will win the crown of glory that never fades away the word of the lord thanks be to god [Music] [Applause] [Music] the lord is my shepherd there is nothing i shall want [Music] the lord is my shabbat there is nothing i shall want [Music] the lord is my shepherd i shall not want he makes me lie down in green pastures he leads me besides the waters he restores [Music] there is nothing i shall want he leads me in right path for his name's sake even though i walk to the darkest valley i feel no evil he leads me for you [Music] they comfort me the lord is my shepherd there is nothing i shall want you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies [Music] my cup overflows and the lord is my shepherd there is nothing i shall want surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and i shall dwell in the house of the lord my whole life the lord is my shepherd there is nothing i shall want [Music] please stand gospel inflammation [Music] [Music] oh [Applause] [Music] on which [Music] the gates of hell will not hold out against it [Music] [Applause] [Music] the lord be with you a reading from the holy gospel according to matthew when jesus came into the district of caesarea philippi he asked his disciples who do people say that the son of man is and the disciples said some say john the baptist but others elijah and still others jeremiah or one of the prophets jesus said to them but who do you say that i am simon peter answered you are the messiah the son of the living god and jesus answered him blessed are you simon son of jonah for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but my father in heaven and i tell you you are peter and on this rock i will build my church and the gates of hades will not prevail against it i will give you the keys of the kingdom of god and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ among the greatest words in the history of the world our lord jesus says to peter i tell you you are peter and on this rock i will build my church and the gates of hades will not prevail against it i will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven now this is just a fancy way of saying peter i'm putting you in charge you're in charge of the church that i found it and some of the disciples might have said hey well wait a minute peter's not perfect peter makes lots of mistakes are you sure you want to put him in charge of your church and the lord his response is yes yes i trust peter even with his imperfections even with his mistakes i trust him and not only that i am with you always did you know that god is a great micromanager i mean he's taking care of his church even though he has peter who's imperfect who makes mistakes sometimes ultimately jesus is in charge you know what we call that we call that divine providence somehow even with a broken wounded weak leader who makes mistakes sometimes the lord is still getting the job done he's still leading his church and the thing is is part of the human reality is we need to go through dark valleys like we heard in the psalm today you know peter right after this actually the lord says he's going to um have to be turned over to the leaders and killed and on the third day rise and peter says no no this can't happen and our lord jesus reprimands him yes this has to happen i need to go through this dark valley and so too the church over the ages has gone through some dark valleys and the church in god's mysterious divine providence needs to go through these dark valleys needs to sail through these turbulent waters needs to experience these attacks these times of confusion these times of of uncertainty these times of infighting now one of the roles of the pope peter is to keep the unity and again it's it's it's basic common sense say you you're the owner of a of a supermarket and you're going to go away on vacation for a few weeks and you take one of the managers and you tell all your staff hey while i'm away this person is in charge and i trust this person so if there's a decision to make go with his decision he's in charge now some people might say well i don't you know i don't like this person he shouldn't be in charge i don't agree with him the boss wants all the staff to listen to the manager because otherwise there's division you know there's grumbling and brothers and sisters we all have a little bit of rebelliousness in us don't we it's horrific to admit but in all of us there's a little bit of that i will not serve and so when the boss is away the manager is in charge we tend to rebel we tend to gossip and and and again the boss he wants unity among the staff he doesn't want division and the person in charge he's the person who's supposed to keep the decision if he decides to close the store because of freezing rain half an hour early that's the decision you go with it and again when we apply this to to the church one of the most important things in the church is unity and it is the pope who keeps the unity and god is all-powerful he micromanages he makes sure that the gates of hades will not prevail against the church and so we have to trust god we have to trust god that somehow throughout the ages every pope even with his imperfections and all that was the one chosen and anointed by god to lead the church through these times and somehow everything is going to be all right like bob marley sings every little thing is gonna be all right sometimes we get anxious we need to listen to a little bob barely the odd time i'm just joking that's it i don't know much about bob marley maybe he's a great singer i just don't want to be endorsing a singer who might be saying bad things but the point is is we need to trust jesus he put peter in charge and peter will guide us through these turbulent waters god our father in your providence you chose saint peter as the leader of the apostles and as head of the church we pray as a community of faith under the successor of saint peter trusting in you that pope francis the successor of peter may exercise his authority in the spirit of service we pray to the lord lord hear our prayer that the pope and the bishops and those in the diplomatic service of the holy see may become effective

willingly into his passion he took bread and giving thanks broke it and gave it to his disciples saying take this all of you and eat of it for this is my body which will be given up for you in a similar way when supper was ended he took the chalice and once more giving thanks he gave it to his disciples saying take this all of you and drink from it for this is the chalice of my blood the blood of the new and eternal covenant which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins do this in memory of me the mystery of faith save us savior of the world for by your cross and resurrection you have set us free therefore as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection we offer you lord the bread of life and the chalice of salvation giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you humbly we pray that partaking of the body and blood of christ we may be gathered into one by the holy spirit remember lord your church
