In A Few Words: A Carpenter and A Fisherman Built A Church

Simon Peter as the rock of the Church

by Fr. David.
Jesus grew up in Nazareth and lived there for nearly 30 yrs. unknown
except to the town folks. He was thought to be the son of the localSimonPeterKeystoKingdom
carpenter, named Joseph,’ isn’t he the carpenter’s son?” (Mt. 13:53).
Jesus himself practiced this trade, ” Isn’t he the carpenter, the son of
Mary?”
(Mk. 6:3). At about 30 yrs. of age, he came to the Jordan river to be
baptized by John, his cousin. It was for Jesus a moment of decision.
Immediately, he became an itinerant preacher, promoting the kingdom of
God.
Walking by the sea of Galilee, the carpenter turned preacher, caught sight
of a fisherman named Simon. Jesus called him on the spot , “follow me,
from now on your name is Peter(Petros is Greek, meaning ‘rock).” Upon this
rock I will build my church”(Mt. 4:18 and Mt. 16:18).
The carpenter and the fisherman went to work: Christ, the capstone, laid a
solid foundation on Peter, the Rock. Christ gave him the keys of the
kingdom, meaning primacy over the church. The other disciples respected
and honored Peter’ primacy;  he was to lead, govern and tend the church. ”
Simon, I prayed for you…you in turn strengthen your brethren.” (Lk 22).
Matthew, Luke and John record in striking terms the charge given to Peter.
He and his successors have a special place in the universal church built
by the carpenter, Jesus, and the fisherman, Simon Peter.
This church is still in existence. You belong to it. Thank God and take
care of her and love her!

  6. Sin embargo, has enviado tu comentario a este blog, que trata de electrodomésticos y otras cosas, que nada tiene que ver con INDESIT y precisamente este artículo, donde has dejado tu comentario, trata del mal Servicio Técnico que está ofreciendo INDESIT. Yo no te puedo orientar si es factible conveniente la reparación que necesita puesto que no me das ninguna pista. La garantía de los electrodomésticos cubre no solo averías, sino cualquier defecto de fabricación, como pueda ser la formación de óxido en tan breve espacio de tiempo en una pieza sobre la que el usuario no tiene ningún acceso. Le van a pedir el modelo completo con el numero / 0 , y ellos deben darle solución.

    Fisherman Built A Church – St Dominic's Catholic Church Benicia, CA is a little plain. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s
    home page and note how they create news headlines to get people to click.

    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  33. Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids.
    I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  34. I do not know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering issues with your site.
    It appears as though some of the text within your content are
    running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback
    and let me know if this is happening to them too? This could
    be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen before.
