Today we commemorate St. Peter’s confession of faith that Jesus is “the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” This day typically starts an ecumenical Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.
Prayer of the Day
Almighty God, you inspired Simon Peter to confess Jesus as the Messiah and Son of the living God. Keep your church firm on the rock of this faith, so that in unity and peace it may proclaim one truth and follow one Lord, your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
