Our Gospel for Feb 22. The Foundation of the Church.

Matthew 16:13-19


When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi
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.” 


Ang Pahayag ni Pedro Patungkol sa Mesiyas
Mateo 16:13-19
 13Nang makarating si Jesus sa mga lupain ng Cesarea Filipo, tinanong niya ang kaniyang mga alagad. Sinabi niya: Ayon sa sinasabi ng mga tao, sino raw ba ako na Anak ng Tao?  
   
 14Sinabi nila: Ang sabi ng iba: Si Juan na tagapagbawtismo. Ang sabi ng ilan: Si Elias. At ang iba ay nagsabing ikaw si Jeremias, o isa sa mga propeta.

   
 15Sinabi niya sa kanila: Ngunit ayon sa inyo sino ako?

   
 16Sumagot si Simon Pedro: Ikaw ang Mesiyas, ang Anak ng Diyos na buhay.

   
 17Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Pinagpala ka, Simon na anak ni Jonas sapagkat hindi ito ipinahayag sa iyo ng laman at dugo kundi ng aking Ama na nasa langit. 18At sinasabi ko rin sa iyo: Ikaw ay Pedro. Sa ibabaw ng batong ito ay itatayo ko ang aking iglesiya. Hindi makakapanaig sa kaniya ang tarangkahan ng Hades. 19Ibibigay ko sa iyo ang mga susi ng paghahari ng langit. Anuman ang iyong tatalian sa lupa ay tatalian sa langit. Anuman ang iyong kalagan sa lupa ay kakalagan sa langit.

I would like to share with you one of my favorite bible passage in Psalm.

Ps 23:1-3a, 4, 5, 6

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In verdant pastures he gives me repose;
Beside restful waters he leads me;
he refreshes my soul.

Even though I walk in the dark valley
I fear no evil; for you are at my side
With your rod and your staff
that give me courage.

You spread the table before me
in the sight of my foes;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

Only goodness and kindness follow me
all the days of my life;
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
for years to come.
