GOSPEL REFLECTION
Today’s readings are an interesting mix as we reflect on our Church and its mission. The Gospel passage is often seen as a reference to the origins of the Church and the papacy, as Jesus hands Peter ‘the keys of the kingdom of heaven’. But look what Jesus asks him just before this: ‘Who do you say I am?’ Everything we do as Church should come back to this question – who do we say that Jesus is?
