St. Peter: The Rock of Faith

St. PeterWhen Jesus told Peter he is “rock” and upon that “rock” the Church will be built, Jesus founded the Church on solid foundation. That foundation is faith. It is the faith that can withstand weakness, trial and rejection.

As members of the Church, our faith must be strong in this time of fast changing world. Our faith must become that rock that knows no giving in to ideals, movements and things that might lead us away from truly living the principles of Christian life.

Like Peter, any religious or laity in the Church is not immune to encounter mistakes and frailties. Yet, we need not be discouraged when beset by weakness, individually and as a community.

We may seem divided in voicing out our opinions in the face of controversial issues like RH Law, BBL and even mining. Nevertheless, our faith that is strong as the “rock” of Peter tells us to choose for life, peace and nature as God’s gifts to us.

St. Peter, intercede for our faith to be strong as rock!
