WISDOM of the THEOLOGIANS ~ On the Chair of Peter
"All this is yet but a beginning of the mystery of unity. Jesus Christ, in beginning it, still spoke to many: Go, preach; I send you. Now, when He would put the last hand to the mystery of unity, He speaks no longer to many: He marks out Peter personally, and by the new name which He has given him. It is One who speaks to one: Jesus Christ the Son of God to Simon son of Jonas; Jesus Christ, who is the true Stone, strong of Himself, to Simon, who is only the stone by the strength which Jesus Christ imparts to him. It is to him that Christ speaks, and in speaking acts on him, and stamps upon him His own immovableness. 'And I,' He says, 'say to you, you are Peter; and,' He adds, 'upon this rock I will build my Church,' and, He concludes, 'the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.' [Mt. 16, 18] To prepare him for that honor Jesus Christ, who knows that faith in Himself is the foundation of His Church, inspires Peter with a faith worthy to be the foundation of that admirable building. 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' [Mt. 16, 16] By that bold preaching of the faith he [Peter] draws to himself the inviolable promise which makes him the foundation of the Church." —Excerpted from The See of St. Peter, Jacques Bossuet as found on catholicculture.org
