yet the mountain stands. ‘ ’

St. Peter fervently set to work shoring up the base of the mountain, that base which is the individual Christians who are the meeting point between the mountain (Christ and his Church) and the world. Letters written by 1st and 2nd Peter are great examples of this. So, I will conclude with his inspired words from 1 Peter 2:4-6, which tell all Christians to imitate Christ by offering themselves as Christ did, as priests: “Come to him, a living stone, rejected by human beings but chosen and precious in the sight of God, and, like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it says in Scripture: ‘... whoever believes in (this stone) shall not be put to shame.’” Thus will the faith of the young and old continue in its song, and that song will be heard, and grow, while the waves will grow quiet, for even they obey the Word of God, and listen to his song.
