Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time

(Isaiah 22:19-23 Rom 11:33-36 Matt 16:13-20)

The key to family life

Today’s Gospel places keys at the heart of the responsibility Jesus gives Peter. In spite of his weaknesses and failings, because of his faith, he is entrusted with the ‘keys’ to the kingdom of God. Our married love is entrusted with the ‘keys’ of our family life. We are the ‘rock’ upon which the future of our family will be built.
