THE THIRTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST - 8/23/2026

In this gospel reading this coming Sunday, we hear that Peter received the “keys of the kingdom.” In our baptism, it is as if we too have received keys that open God to us and open ourselves to others. Come to worship; be opened to the word and at the table.

In 1482, the Italian artist Pietro Perugino painted Christ Handing the Keys to St. Peter. In accord with tradition, Peter is pictured with a bald head and white beard. The painting sets the scene in front of a historic baptistery so that we connect baptism with the kingdom promised by Christ.
