The word Jesus uses — “church” (ekklesia in Greek) — was used in the Greek translation of the Old Testament for the “assembly” of God’s children after the Exodus
‘Oh, the depths’
By Scott Hahn
“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!” Paul exclaims in today’s Epistle. Today’s Psalm, too, takes up the
triumphant note of joy and thanksgiving. Why? Because in the Gospel, the heavenly Father reveals the mystery of His kingdom to
Peter.
With Peter, we rejoice that Jesus is the anointed Son promised to David, the one prophesied to build God’s temple and reign over an
everlasting kingdom (see 2 Samuel 7).
What Jesus calls “my Church” is the kingdom promised to David’s son (see Isaiah 9:1–7). As we hear in today’s First Reading, Isaiah
foretold that the keys to David’s kingdom would be given to a new master, who would rule as father to God’s people.
Jesus, the root and offspring of David, alone holds the kingdom’s keys (see Revelation 1:18; 3:7; 22:16). In giving those keys to Peter,
Jesus fulfills that prophecy, establishing Peter — and all who succeed him — as holy father of His Church.
His Church, too, is the new house of God — the spiritual temple founded on the “rock” of Peter and built up out of the living stones
of individual believers (see 1 Peter 2:5).
Abraham was called “the rock” from which the children of Israel were hewn (see Isaiah 51:1–2). And Peter becomes the rock from
which God raises up new children of God (see Matthew 3:9).
The word Jesus uses — “church” (ekklesia in Greek) — was used in the Greek translation of the Old Testament for the “assembly” of
God’s children after the Exodus (see Deuteronomy 18:16; 31:30).
His Church is the “assembly of the firstborn” (see Hebrews 12:23; Exodus 4:23–24), established by Jesus’ exodus (see Luke 9:31). Like
the Israelites, we are baptized in water, led by the Rock, and fed with spiritual food (see 1 Corinthians 10:1–5).
Gathered at His altar, in the presence of angels, we sing His praise and give thanks to His holy name.
Act of Spiritual Communion Prayer
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

HOW TO PRAY THE ROSARYFamiliarize yourself and/or your group with the prayers of the rosary.1. Make the Sign of the Cross.2. Holding the Crucifix, say the Apostles’ Creed.3. On the first bead, say an Our Father.4. Say one Hail Mary on each of the next three beads.5. Say the Glory Be6. For each of the five decades, announce the Mystery (perhaps followed by a brief reading from Scripture) then say the Our Father.7. While fingering each of the ten beads of the decade, next say ten Hail Marys while meditating on the Mystery. Then say a Glory Be.(After finishing each decade, some say the following prayer requested by the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima: O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell; lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of your mercy.)8. After saying the five decades, say the Hail, Holy Queen, followed by this dialogue and prayer:
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.R. That we may be made worthy of the prom-ises of Christ.Let us pray: O God, whose Only Begotten Son,by his life, Death, and Resurrection,has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life,grant, we beseech thee,that while meditating on these mysteriesof the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary,we may imitate what they containand obtain what they promise,through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
(A prayer to St. Joseph may also follow.) Conclude the Rosary with the Sign of the Cross.
