Paragraph 3. THE MYSTERIES OF CHRIST’S LIFE
552
Simon Peter holds the first place in the college of the Twelve;283
Jesus entrusted a unique mission to him. Through a revelation from the Father,
Peter had confessed: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Our Lord then declared to him: “You are Peter, and on this rock I will
build my Church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against
it.”284 Christ, the “living Stone”,285 thus
assures his Church, built on Peter, of victory over the powers of death.
Because of the faith he confessed Peter will remain the unshakeable rock of the
Church. His mission will be to keep this faith from every lapse and to
strengthen his brothers in it.286
