“You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church.”
Matthew 16:13-19
Jesus sees the heart of Peter and entrusts him because of his faith and trust. Peter proclaims that Jesus is the Messiah, and this conviction enabled Peter to be the head of the Church. Are we ready to proclaim Jesus as Messiah in our lives and how we live and speak with others?
Jesus wants us to build the Kingdom of God here on earth. It is through prayer that we realise our responsibilities as Christians to live by our faith and to bring faith to others. Jesus leads us and also asks us to lead. We can be afraid because we may still feel like we are working on our relationship with Jesus, yet Jesus sees that our faith is enough. He helps us to see the bigger picture, to seek our mission and to follow the call to love and serve our brothers and sisters.
