Sunday of the Renewal & Consecration of the Church
Gospel: Matthew 16: 13 - 20
Readings: Hebrews 9:1 - 21 "Who do people say that I am? Who do you say that I am?" This is a question with double meanings, asked by Jesus who waited for the answer. Jesus gave Peter the grace because of the right answer he gave.
Jesus cared about the people's opinion in him. But this wasn't an obstacle for his mission. This question opens for us new and wide horizons. It is very important to know what people think of us. If it is right we have to work on making it better. "Who do YOU say that I am?" Peter's answer came to him by an inspiration from heaven.
Jesus beatified Peter and gave him the keys to the kingdom of heaven. We, as community of faith, are invited to answer that question about Jesus' identity. If we don't know the answer, we know that the Church hold the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
This kingdom is inside each and every one of us as said the Lord. Let us give ourselves to the Church to open our hearts and discover the true identity of Jesus. If we declare openly Jesus' identity, we too, like Peter, can become a rock.

St. Michael, Archangel, November 8th Holy Scripture speaks of angels as ministers of God in human affairs. St. Michael defends the honor of God against Satan. St. Gabriel announced to Mary the coming of Jesus.
St. Raphael guided Tobias on his journey and brought healing to Tobit, his blind father. As servants of God, the angels are instruments of God's wisdom and strength to humanity, and accompany us on our journey through life.
We thank you, Lord, with all our hearts; in the presence of your angels we bless you.
Prayer to St. Michael for personal protectionSaint Michael, the Archangel! Glorious Prince, chief and champion of the heavenly hosts, conqueror of the rebel angels! Obtain for us from God a share of thy sturdy courage; pray that we may have a strong and tender love for our redeemer and, in every danger of temptation, be invincible against the enemy of our souls. St. Michael, be with us in our last moments. Amen.
