3 The Chair of St. Peter the Apostle Feb. 22 This feast day is an anniversary and celebration of the authority of the Papacy, and the particular mission entrusted to St. Peter by Jesus. This mission is continued in an unbroken line down to the present Pope. The Lord said to Peter, You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16: The feast emphasizes the mission of teacher and pastor of Christ conferred upon Peter, to whom He formed in His person and in St. Peter s successors, a visible foundation of unity of the Church. The chair, literally is a fixed seat of the supreme Pontiff and the Bishops, permanently placed in the Mother Church of the Diocese Cathedral, and is the symbol of the Bishop and his ordinary magisterium in the local church. St. Peter...pray for us!
