A31a Upon This Rock I Will Build My Church, Matthew 16:13-19, Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul

Jesus chose Peter as the first Pope of the Catholic Church. His church has stayed alive for almost 2000 years. His church will never crumble. He is watching over his church. You are a member of his church. Rejoice and celebrate that Jesus Christ built this church for you. He gave the church's priests the authority to forgive sins. Jesus is the Son of the most high God. He loves you and meets all of your needs.
