Today is the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter, Apostle. In the entrance antiphon, Luke 22:32, Jesus says to Simon Peter, "I have prayed that your own faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers." It strikes me that the Lord actually prayed to the Father for Peter! Normally, we pray to God; now we can actually ask Christ to pray for us, for our loved ones, for the whole world, etc.! Amen. If he does pray for us, the Father will surely comply! So lets ask Christ to pray for what we pray for and we may be amply rewarded!
