Cathedræ S. Petri, apostoli
The Chair of Saint Peter the Apostle is solemnly commemorated today in the Roman Catholic Church and the sacred liturgy. The Church honours their heroic faith, steadfast love for Jesus Christ, and exemplary Christian virtue as an inspiring model and heavenly intercessor for all believers.
Through their prayers and intercession, we ask Almighty God for grace, healing, purity of heart, and perseverance in our daily Christian journey.
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For in him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him and in him. And he is before all, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the Church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead.
R. Come with singing into the presence of the Lord.
Sing joyfully to God, all the earth: serve ye the Lord with gladness. Come in before his presence with exceeding great joy. Know ye that the Lord he is God: he made us, and not we ourselves.
R. Come with singing into the presence of the Lord.
Go ye into his gates with praise, into his courts with hymns: and give glory to him. Praise ye his name: for the Lord is sweet, his mercy endureth for ever.
R. Come with singing into the presence of the Lord.
And it came to pass on the second first sabbath, that as he went through the corn fields, his disciples plucked the ears, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. And some of the Pharisees said to them: Why do you that which is not lawful on the sabbath days? And Jesus answering them, said: Have you not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry, and they that were with him? How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the bread of proposition... And he said to them: The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
