United in Prayer - Commemoration of St. Peter’s Chair in Rome
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. (Matthew 16 :18)
Help us, O God, to follow the example and wisdom of Your Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul, and all the Holy Preachers, so we can bear fruit worthy of the gift of repentance, and persevere, unshakable and unwavering, until the last breath,… so we raise with them glory and thanks, to You, O Christ our God, and to Your Father and Holy Spirit, now and forever (from the Evening Prayer of the Feast of the Two Apostles, St. Peter and St. Paul - the Maronite Liturgy).
