Here is the Gospel of Matthew 16:13-19

When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”

They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.

And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.

I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
This passage highlights the recognition of Jesus as the Messiah by Peter and Jesus’ declaration about the foundation of His church.

Word of the Lord.

Are you a prophet?

A prophet is one who speaks of God and in the name of God. We spouses are called to be prophets because our lives speak of God. That is why John Paul II said that marriage is the primordial sacrament since it is the first sign that represents who God is in the beginning. What shall we say of you, Lord? Who shall we say you are? As we love each other, so we will speak of you to the world.

According to God, who live in grace and frequent the sacraments, who have placed Jesus at the center, who speak to each other with tenderness, who treat each other with the deep respect that the dignity God has given them deserves, who have small daily gestures, as God has with us—those spouses show God.

Applied to married life:

Pedro and Ana are ending the day with their children. They bring their attitudes of service, understanding, and tenderness to this moment. They finish dinner and pray the rosary together.
Pedro: Ana, in 30 minutes, we will have our time together with the Lord. Is that okay for you, or do you need anything?
Ana: Yes, all good. Thank you very much. (They kiss)
The children: (Witnessing love made flesh, seeing how their parents care for each other)
(After putting the children to bed, Pedro and Ana continue in the presence of God)
Ana: Hello Jesus. How are you? I love you and care very much about how you are right now. What do you desire? I would like to give you comfort and see a beautiful smile on your face. I adore you, my God, I praise you for all the love you give us every day.
Pedro: You are God, Love. Only you have the words of eternal life. Only with you does our life become beautiful, and you give it a supernatural path, the only one that is forever. We rest in you, my God, because we do not worry vainly about our things. To you all power and glory.

Mother,

Entering into the intimacy of God, knowing the heart of God earned Peter the trust of the Lord. How important it is to know, to enter into the intimacy of our Lord and to participate in it, and to bring it into our own. Lord, enter into you, to learn to enter into my spouse. That is my path. Praised be you forever. Amen.
