Powerful prayer to Saint Peter

St Peter, the first of the apostles, was chosen by Jesus to be the rock on which He would build His Church.

Protector of the Church, he is invoked as a guide in faith, a support in times of doubt and a powerful intercessor with God.As we pray to Saint Peter, we turn our gaze to the one whom Jesus chose as the foundation of the Church. His fidelity and courage invite us to remain confident in the Lord's love, even at the heart of our weaknesses. Read more...
