The Lost  Peter's Faith Today - The feast of the Apostles Sts Peter and Paul


My dear brethren,
There are 158 references to St Peter is the Apostle in the New Testament, and exactly the same number for St Paul! This is far more than any other Apostle. There would be too much to say if one were to explain all of these references! So I would deal with perhaps the main one: the ¡°Confession of St Peter¡±.


In that expression, it is not so much the ¡°confession of sin¡±, but rather the ¡°confession of Faith.¡± Historically, the first meaning of the word ¡°confession¡± is the acknowledgement of sin. But when Christians were brought to the hostile judge and accused of nothing else than being a Christian, they would acknowledge their Faith in Christ in front of that judge, who considered it a sin and condemned them: even condemned them to death for it.


Hence the term ¡°confession of Faith¡± came to mean the profession of the Faith unto the honour of God in front of a hostile judge or persecutor. When one is condemned to death for it, he becomes a ¡°martyr¡± = one who gave the witness to Christ, to the point of dying for Him. Those who did not die but who suffered for their ¡°confessing Christ¡± were called ¡°holy confessors¡±. The term is still used for the Saints who did not die martyrs. By extension, the term ¡°confession of Faith¡± is applied to any clear public profession of the one true Faith.


Now St Peter is the first who, by a special grace of the Father, clearly professed: ¡°Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God¡± (Mt. 16:16). And upon Peter professing that Faith did Christ build His Church. In the Fathers of the Church, one finds both aspects: Christ build the Church upon the man Peter, and upon the Faith of Peter. Thus one can truly say that Christ build His Church upon ¡°Peter confessing the Faith¡±, neither upon an abstract Faith separated from the man Peter, nor upon Peter when he is unfaithful (e.g. when he denied Christ during the Passion). So we must avoid both: sedevacantism that pretends to keep the Faith without a successor of Peter, nor modernism that follows the modern Popes even when they depart from that profession of Peter (for instance at Assisi, or kissing the Koran, etc.)


In the Acts of the Apostles we see that St Peter (and St John) were arrested by the Jewish authorities because they had healed a man in the Temple: that man had been crippled for many years, and was begging when St Peter and St John were entering the Temple. St Peter answered: ¡°Silver and gold I have none; but what I have, I give thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, arise, and walk. And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up, and forthwith his feet and soles received strength¡± (Acts 3:6-7). So when he came in front of the Sanhedrin, St Peter said: ¡°Be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by him this man standeth here before you whole. This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved¡± (Acts 4:10-12).
There is ONE True God; there is ONE Saviour, the Son of God made man, our Lord Jesus Christ; there is ONE true Faith and ONE true Church: the faith taught by our Lord Jesus Christ and the Church built by our Lord Jesus Christ, ¡°for there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved¡± (Acts 4:12). This is the Confession of the Faith of Peter, which unfortunately today we do not hear often. Let us meditate a few moments on that Faith.


First let us consider a few natural truths concerning the One True God. I say ¡°natural¡± truth, because these truths can be found by the natural strength of our intelligence; they were confirmed and clearly taught for all by the Revelation, which above them also taught us supernatural truths, i.e. truths which surpass the natural strength of our intelligence. The highest of these supernatural truths is the very mystery of the inner Life of God, the Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity.


All human knowledge starts from the senses: as soon as our sensitive organs are sufficiently developed, we start gathering data (even in the womb of our mothers through hearing!); we sort this data, and little by little, we start making associations, and start abstracting at first simple notions, then more complex ideas; language helps a lot to make such associations and to develop thinking. Then we start knowing the things that surround us, and we search for more and more knowledge. We ask: ¡°Why?¡± We want to understand the why of the things around us, and the why of our own selves, of our own life. We search for the causes of things.


We find out easily that things that are imperfect do not have in themselves the reason of their being: things that are limited, changeable, contingent, dependent, etc. They are caused. Now we go further and ask: their cause, does it have in itself its own reason of being or not; if it does not, then it itself is caused by another cause. And since one cannot go infinitely in this chain of dependent causes (as one cannot have wagon drawn by another wagon, without arriving at a first, a locomotive! Without a first, none of the others would move), our reason can without too much difficulty understand that there must be a First Cause, which itself is not caused, which has in itself its own reason of being. That First Cause must be absolutely perfect; otherwise it would itself depend on another one superior to it. There cannot be two absolutely perfect beings: what would distinguish them? If one has something the other has not, that other is not perfect!
So our reason reaches the knowledge that there is One Supreme Being, First Cause of all other beings: this is what people call God. Now let us continue and see all that such truth entails.


No one can give what one has not: an empty bucket cannot give water into another; a teacher who does not know his subject cannot teach his students! Moreover, while material causes possess what they give at the same level as their effect (e.g. a bucket full of water may ¡°give¡± some water into another bucket: the water is the same! The same quantity of movement passes from one to another ball in a famous experiment, etc.), yet a material cause loses what it gives; on the opposite a spiritual causes does not lose what it gives (e.g. a teacher does not lose the knowledge he gave to his students; an engineer or an architect do not lose the idea of a car or of a house when they have put it on paper), and a spiritual causes possesses what it gives at a higher level.If that Supreme Being gave to all other things what good is in them, then it must possess all good in itself; moreover, being a spiritual cause, He did not lose any of the good He gave to the creatures, and He possesses them all at a higher level! Thus God is supremely Good, Summum Bonum. The immediate consequence already at that point of our reasoning, is that God is supremely desirable: all whatsoever you can desire in a creature, you can find it in God, at a much better and higher level, with no mixture of imperfection nor limitation! Hence it is foolishness to love the creatures more than the Creator. God is supremely lovable.


God is infinite: He has no limit; no limit to his Goodness, no limit to His knowledge, no limit to His power, no limit to any of His perfection.


God is everywhere: indeed a spirit is where he acts. Our soul is limited to act in our body (if it stops acting in our body, our body dies!); angels can act wherever they want, yet their action is limited; but God sustains everything in existence, and thus acts in everything and therefore is everywhere.


God is immutable: He could not get something he would have been lacking because He is lacking nothing, nor can He lose any perfection. He cannot learn anything that he would not have known before, because He already knows everything, nor can He forget anything.


God is eternal: not by an endless succession of moments, but by the stability of the Divine being in One Instant of Eternity that never passes away. Time passes; eternity stays and abides for ever.


God is endowed with knowledge: how could a blind force have made intelligent human beings? Necessarily the Creator possesses such quality which is the highest faculty of man, and He possesses at the supreme level: He is the Supreme Intelligence. He is The Truth.


God is loving: all the goodness found in creatures is the fruit of His Love: they are good because God loved them. The Love of God is the cause of goodness in creatures.
Since knowledge and love manifest life, spiritual life, God is Supremely Living, The Living.


Similarly God is Wise, Just, Merciful, Provident, Omnipotent (it would be too long to go in detail for all such Divine attributes).


Yet God is simple: He is not composed of any parts. He knows all things in One Thought. Now this is difficult for us to understand, since we have so many thoughts: our human dictionaries have thousands of words. Yet St Thomas teaches that the higher an intelligence is, the more it knows many things with fewer ideas. There is a famous example of that in science: at the end of the 19th century, there was a scientist called Maxwell that summarises all the electrical and magnetic phenomena in four famous equations (using some powerful mathematical tools such as curls), and later with four dimensional vectors they were reduced to one equation: truly powerful intelligences can grasp in one idea what lower ones know through many ideas. God knows ALL things in ONE Idea! But God¡¯s simplicity goes even further. In man there is a distinction between the substance of our soul, the faculty of intelligence, the virtue of science, the act of knowing and the object of our knowledge: in God all this is ONE, one PURE ACT. Similarly God¡¯s wisdom, God¡¯s omnipotence, God¡¯s justice and mercy are not separate qualities of His substance (as they are in humans), but there are the one and same PURE DIVINE ACT. Because our ideas are limited, we need many ideas to know the Infinite God; but all these divine attributes are ONE IN HIM.


And that leads us to the last attribute that natural philosophy can teach us about God: God is invisible! Not only invisible to our bodily eye (which is evident, since He is spiritual), but also invisible to any created intellect: we cannot have an idea that would be adequate to know and understand God: precisely because our ideas are limited and multiple, and He is One and Infinite! This is the absolute transcendence of God: whatever good we can say of Him, He is even better than that!


St Thomas Aquinas concludes his study of the attributes of God by one more: God is supremely happy, blessed! Indeed if God is invisible, who could tell us what God really is? We can go all over the earth: no one can tell us adequately what God is. If we go up to Heaven and ask the greatest Doctors of the Church, even St Augustine and St Thomas Aquinas are ¡°dumb-founded¡± and speechless. If we ask the cherubim and seraphim, they too cannot find any adequate word to describe what God is. If we go higher and ask even the Blessed Virgin Mary: she is silent in adoration! Who can tell us what God is? Is the Heaven silent because no one can say? No: St John describes heaven with a throne and upon that throne One Who Sits – the Eternal, and from Him proceeds Thunders, that is, the One Almighty Word Who alone expressed adequately and perfectly what God is: ¡°In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made¡± (Jn. 1:1-3).


¡°No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him¡± (Jn. 1:18). ¡°And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth¡± (Jn. 1:14). By putting on flesh, the invisible God became visible: and He taught us about His Father, and He promised us His Spirit.


That the Infinite, Transcendent, Almighty God came down among us and testified about His Father and the Holy Ghost, is attested by the prophecies and miracles, which are like a ¡°signature of God¡±. When God speaks, it is a strict DUTY for man to believe: faith in the most Holy Trinity is not optional, it is necessary for salvation: ¡°And no one knoweth the Son, but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him¡± (Mt. 11:28). ¡°He that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God¡± (Jn. 3:18). ¡°He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father, who hath sent him¡± (Jn. 5:23). ¡°He that hateth me, hateth my Father also¡± (Jn. 15:23). ¡°If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth in the Son of God, hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son, maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son. And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life. And this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son, hath life. He that hath not the Son, hath not life¡± (1 Jn. 5:9-12).


¡°Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, hath the Father also. As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning, abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise which he hath promised us, life everlasting¡± (1 Jn. 2:23-25). So on one hand, there is a terrible danger: everlasting condemnation if one does not believe in the testimony of God, Who taught us about the Holy Trinity; on the other hand however, there is the marvellous promise of eternal life for those who do believe and live accordingly!


Precisely because God is transcendent, it is not surprising that there be mysteries in God, especially His Inner Life. Those who deny the Most Holy Trinity, such as Muslims, reduce God to the level of what we can understand. They reject also the most beautiful Gift of God, which is the offer to participate in the very divine Life, by sanctifying grace, by faith, hope and charity here below which will blossom into the Beatific Vision in Heaven: ¡°Behold what manner of charity the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called, and should be the sons of God. Therefore the world knoweth not us, because it knew not him. Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God; and it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. We know, that, when he shall appear, we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is. And every one that hath this hope in him, sanctifieth himself, as he also is holy¡± (1 Jn. 3:1-3).


This is the Faith of Peter, that he confessed, for which he suffered and eventually died: faith in our Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Saviour of the world: in Him we have life everlasting. And St Paul teaches the same thing: ¡°For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus¡± (1 Tim. 2:5).


May the Blessed Virgin Mary, mother of God, obtain for us that fervour of the Faith of Peter in the Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, so that by Him we may go to Heaven. Amen.
