1st Reading– GN 9:8-15 Responsorial Psalm- PS 25:4-9
2nd Reading– 1PT 3:18-22 Gospel– MK 1:12-15
Saint of the Week:
Chair of St. Peter (the
Apostle) The feast of the Chair of Saint Peter in general about the formation of the Church when Christ said, “You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church.” It has been celebrated at Rome, Italy from the early days of the Christian era on 18 January, in commemoration of the day when Saint Peter held his first service in Rome. The feast of the Chair of Saint Peter at
Antioch, commemorating his foundation of the See of Antioch, has also been long celebrated at Rome, on 22 February. At each place a chair (cathedra) was venerated which the Apostle had used while presiding at Mass. One of the chairs is referred to about 600 by an Abbot Johannes who had been commissioned by Pope Gregory the Great to collect in oil from the lamps which burned at the graves of the Roman martyrs. One of these phials, preserved in the cathedral treasury of Monza, Italy, had a label reading, “oleo de sede ubi prius sedit sanctus Petrus” (oils from the chair where Saint Peter first sat). The Mass for both feast days is the same; the Collect is as follows: “Oh, God, who, together with the power of the keys of the kingdom of heaven, didst bestow on blessed Peter Thy Apostle the pontificate of binding and loosing, grant that by the aid of his intercession we may be released from the yoke of our sins.” The image is a portable chair preserved at the Vatican and believed to be a chair used by Saint Peter, the extant testimony referring to it dating from the 2nd century.
Feast Day is February 22
St. Peter pray for us.
Mass Intentions are Available for 2021. Remember your loved ones with a Mass. Contact the church office.
