"Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

How do I love God with my body?
With the hands of my body that vote to defend with laws and statutes, the weak, the sick and the defenseless. With my eyes that look upon every man, woman and child created in the image and likeness of God and the beauty therein and without. With my voice that gives praise and speaks the truth always and sings in earnest worship. With my feet that steer me away from places of temptation and lead others from them to God and to justice. With my arms that do work and defend others impartially with dignity defrauding no one. With my ears to listen and discern between lies and truth and to hear the quiet voice of God. With my sexuality which honors my spouse with modesty and dignity in the covenant of marriage, open to life always and faithfully. With my back to stand strong against temptations and to weather every storm without complaint. With my knees to kneel in humble supplication before a loving and merciful God seeking forgiveness when all my other members have failed me.
