Almighty Father, who inspired Simon Peter,
first among the apostles, to confess Jesus
as Messiah and Son of the living God:
Keep Your Church steadfast upon the rock of this faith,
so that in unity and peace we may proclaim
the one truth and follow the one Lord,
our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns
with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
