WDTPRS 22 Feb: Cathedra of Peter (2002MR)
Novus OrdoChair of Saint Peter, Apostle — Feb 22, 2027, Feb 22, 2028
Praesta, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus, ut nullis nos permittas perturbationibus concuti, quos in apostolicae confessionis petra solidasti.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
O Lord, we beseech Thee, kindly suffer to receive the prayers and sacrificial offerings of Thy Church, so that, blessed Peter being Her shepherd, and, by whom as he is teaching holds fast to the integritry of the Faith, She may attain to the eternal inheritance.
Today is a fine opportunity to reflect of the will of the Savior that the Church He founded should have as a necessary element the Petrine Ministry. Also, I wish all those who belong to the Ordinariate of the Chair of Peter a fine feast day.
