whom Jesus built his Church. Be the
Rock who keeps me firm in my faith,
steady on my way to heaven and strong

Lord, your ceaseless efforts to spread
the Gospel, and your courage in facing
your own horrific deaths give us a
shining example of what it means to
love God with your whole heart, soul,
strength, and mind.
St. Peter, I know you can sympathize

you denied Our Lord three times, you
wept bitter tears of remorse. But you
came back to Jesus, and you tried
again. Give those of us who sin
grievously the courage to confess our
sins, amend our lives and try again. Let
us always remember that, while we live,
we can run back to Our Lord Jesus who is Mercy itself. St Peter,
Prince of the Apostles, pray for us. Amen.
