Lord, I can hear your voice asking me the same question you put to your disciples:
“ Who do you say that I am “ I know you want my personal answer to this question.
Peter gave you the right answer. But as you pointed out, it was not his own. It was prompted by the Father. Inspired by
the Father, let me also give you my answer. Let me ever profess my faith in you as Christ, Son of the living God !
You rejoiced as you recognised the hand of the Father and the action of the Holy Spirit in Peter’s profession of faith. On this solid faith you could build your new community -
the Church. Thank you, Lord, for inviting me to belong to this community that you have founded, not based on ancestry, but on faith,
that is, on our relationship with you.

PARISH NEWS/EVENTS
Quando Gesù chiese ai suoi discepoli: “La gente chi dice che
sia il Figlio dell’uomo?”, le loro risposte rispecchiarono le
diverse teorie e speculazioni riguardo Gesù diffuse nella loro
cultura.
Se la stessa domanda fosse posta da Gesù oggi, le risposte
sembrerebbero forse più colte, ma sarebbero molto simili. In-
vece di evocare Elia, Giovanni Battista o Geremia, si
evocherebbero forse le speculazioni dell’ultimo convegno sulla
cristologia, oppure ancora i risultati di un recente sondaggio.
Possiamo immaginare che Gesù ascolterebbe gentilmente,
forse sorridendo. Poi però giunge la vera e propria domanda:
“Voi chi dite che io sia?”. Non possiamo più rifugiarci dietro
ad opinioni di altri, siano essi teologi o conduttori di dibattiti
televisivi. Gesù vuole la nostra risposta personale. Dobbiamo
prendere posizione personalmente nei suoi confronti.
È quello che succede con l’atto di fede. Gesù lancia una sfida
a ogni uomo e a ogni donna direttamente e personalmente:
“Tu, chi dici che io sia?”.
La nostra risposta possa essere quella di Pietro: “Tu sei il
Cristo, il figlio del Dio vivente”. La nostra risposta possa es-
sere quella della Chiesa, che fu fondata da Cristo su Pietro
come su una pietra, affinché il “credo” diventasse un
“crediamo”: Crediamo in Dio, Padre onnipotente..., in un solo
Signore Gesù Cristo, unigenito Figlio di Dio..., per opera dello
Spirito Santo... incarnato nel seno della Vergine Maria.
Warringah Youth Group— meeting today
Next Meeting will be held today at 4.30pm in St
Kevin's Lower Hall. Please bring a plate of food to

and used in the cooking process.

Entrance Antiphon
Turn your ear, O Lord, and answer me; save the servant who trusts in you, my God. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I cry to you all the day long.
First Reading: Isaiah 22:19-23
Thus says the Lord of hosts to Shebna, the master of the palace:
I dismiss you from your office, I remove you from your post, and the same day I call on my servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah. I invest him with your robe, gird him with your sash, entrust him with your authority; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the House of Judah. I place the key of the House of David on his shoulder; should he open, no one shall close, should he close, no one shall open. I drive him like a peg into a firm place; he will become a throne of glory for his father's house.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm: Ps 137:1-3.
6. 8
R. Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands.
I thank you, Lord, with all my heart, you have heard the words of my mouth. Before the angels I will bless you, I will adore before your holy temple. R.
I thank you for your faithfulness and love which excel all we ever knew of you. On the day I called, you answered;
you increased the strength of my soul. R.
The Lord is high yet he looks on the lowly and the haughty he knows from afar. Your love, O Lord, is eternal, discard not the work of your hands. R.
Second Reading: Romans 11:33-
36
How rich are the depths of God - how deep his wisdom and knowledge - and how impossible to penetrate his motives or understand his methods! Who could ever know the mind of the Lord? Who could ever be his counsellor? Who could ever give him anything or lend him anything? All that exists comes from him; all is by him and for him. To him be glory for ever! Amen.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation: Matthew
16:18
Alleluia, alleluia! You are Peter, the rock on which I will build my Church; the gates of hell will not hold out against it. Alleluia!
Gospel: Matthew 16:13-20
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi he put this question to his disciples, 'Who do people say the Son of Man is?' And they said, 'Some say he is John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.' 'But you,' he said, 'who do you say I am?' Then Simon Peter spoke up, 'You are the Christ,' he said, 'the Son
of the living God.' Jesus replied, 'Simon son of Jonah, you are a happy man! Because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you but my Father in heaven. So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church. And the gates of the underworld can never hold out against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth shall be considered bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth shall be considered loosed in heaven.' Then he gave the disciples strict orders not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Communion Antiphon
The earth is replete with the fruits of your work, O Lord; you bring forth bread from the earth and wine to cheer the heart.
