Liturgical Colour : (Red) Collect : Almighty God, Who inspired your Apostle Saint Peter to confess Jesus as Christ and Son of the Living God: build up your Church upon this rock, that in unity and peace it may proclaim one truth and follow One Lord, Your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ, who is alive and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit one God, now and for ever. Amen. Readings : Old Testament: Ezekiel 3:4-11 Psalm: 125 Epistle: Act 12:1-11 Gospel: Matt.16:13-20 Cephas, or Peter the Apostle, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, and the first leader of the early Church. One of the importance of this day is the fact that the Church of Jesus Christ was built upon the revealed knowledge of Christ as the Son of God.  The revelation upon which the church is built upon today is that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and no power or gate of hell can stand against it. St. Peter is not the rock rather the rock is the true identity of Jesus Christ revealed to him

The Message Psalms 146:1-10 Hallelujah! O my soul, praise God! All my life long I'll praise God, singing songs to my God as long as I live. Don't put your life in the hands of experts who know nothing of life, of salvation life. Mere humans don't have what it takes; when they die, their projects die with them. Instead, get help from the God of Jacob, put your hope in God and know real blessing! God made sky and soil, sea and all the fish in it. He always does what he says— he defends the wronged, he feeds the hungry. God frees prisoners— he gives sight to the blind, he lifts up the fallen. God loves good people, protects strangers, takes the side of orphans and widows, but makes short work of the wicked. God's in charge—always. Zion's God is God for good! HallelujaAmen Thanksgiving Almighty and everlasting King, we give you thanks and praise because in every situation you have proved yourself more than worthy of praise, we thank you for the grace you have best
