Paul. It is not some obscure martyrs we are talking

and their words to the ends of the world. … There
is one day for the passion of two apostles. But 11am Sung Mass (St G)
these tow were as one; although they suffered on Mon 1:
different days, they were as one. Peter went first, 6:00pm Mass (St G)

Almighty God, whose blessed
apostles Peter and Paul glorified
you in their death as in their life:
grant that your Church, inspired
by their teaching and example,
and made one by your Spirit,
may ever stand firm upon the
one foundation, Jesus Christ our
Lord, who is alive and reigns
with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and for
ever. Amen.
FIRST READING
The First reading is from the book of
Acts.
King Herod started persecuting
certain members of the Church. He
beheaded James the brother of
John, and when he saw that this
pleased the Jews he decided to
arrest Peter as well. This was during
the days of Unleavened Bread, and
he put Peter in prison, assigning four
squads of four soldiers each to guard
him in turns. Herod meant to try
Peter in public after the end of
Passover week. All the time Peter
was under guard the Church prayed
to God for him unremittingly.
  On the night before Herod was to
try him, Peter was sleeping between
two soldiers, fastened with double
chains, while guards kept watch at
the main entrance to the prison.
Then suddenly the angel of the Lord
stood there, and the cell was filled
with light. He tapped Peter on the
side and woke him. ‘Get up!’ he said
‘Hurry!’ – and the chains fell from
his hands. The angel then said, ‘Put
on your belt and sandals.’ After he
had done this, the angel next said,
‘Wrap your cloak round you and
follow me.’ Peter followed him, but
had no idea that what the angel did
was all happening in reality; he
thought he was seeing a vision. They
passed through two guard posts one
after the other, and reached the iron
gate leading to the city. This opened
of its own accord; they went through
it and had walked the whole length
of one street when suddenly the
angel left him. It was only then that
Peter came to himself. ‘Now I know
it is all true’ he said. ‘The Lord really
did send his angel and has saved me
from Herod and from all that the
Jewish people were so certain would
happen to me.’
This is the word of the Lord.
Acts 12
RESPONSORIAL PSALM
From all my terrors
the Lord set me free.
I will bless the Lord at all times,
his praise always on my lips;
in the Lord my soul shall make its
boast.
The humble shall hear and be glad. ’
R/
Glorify the Lord with me.
Together let us praise his name.
I sought the Lord and he answered
me; ’ R/
Look towards him and be radiant;
let your faces not be abashed.
This poor man called, the Lord
heard him
and rescued him from all his
distress. ’ R/
The angel of the Lord is encamped
around those who revere him, to
rescue them.
Taste and see that the Lord is good.
He is happy who seeks refuge in
him. ’ R/
Psalm 34
SECOND READING
The Second Reading is from St Paul’s
Second letter to Timothy.
30 JUNE 2019
My life is already being poured away
as a libation, and the time has come
for me to be gone. I have fought the
good fight to the end; I have run the
race to the finish; I have kept the
faith; all there is to come now is the
crown of righteousness reserved for
me, which the Lord, the righteous
judge, will give to me on that Day;
and not only to me but to all those
who have longed for his Appearing.
  The Lord stood by me and gave
me power, so that through me the
whole message might be proclaimed
for all the pagans to hear; and so I
was rescued from the lion’s mouth.
The Lord will rescue me from all evil
attempts on me, and bring me safely
to his heavenly kingdom. To him be
glory for ever and ever. Amen.
This is the word of the Lord.
2 Tim 4
GOSPEL
A reading from the Holy Gospel
according to St Matthew.
Now when Jesus came into the
district of Caesarea Philippi, he
asked his disciples, ‘Who do people
say that the Son of Man is?’ And
they said, ‘Some say John the
Baptist, but others Elijah, and still
others Jeremiah or one of the
prophets.’ He said to them, ‘But who
do you say that I am?’ Simon Peter
answered, ‘You are the Messiah, the
Son of the living God.’ And Jesus
answered him, ‘Blessed are you,
Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and
blood has not revealed this to you,
but my Father in heaven. And I tell
you, you are Peter, and on this rock I
will build my church, and the gates
of Hades will not prevail against it. I
will give you the keys of the
kingdom of heaven, and whatever
you bind on earth will be bound in
heaven, and whatever you loose on
earth will be loosed in heaven.’
This is the gospel of the Lord.
Matt 16
