Description
Friends of the Rosary:
Today, the universal Church celebrates the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, the two great apostles who are the rock on which the Church is built.Both Saint Peter and Saint Paul were martyred for their faith. Their deaths are a reminder of the cost of following Christ, but they are also a source of inspiration for Christians today.
Sanctified by their martyrdom, they make Rome — then the capital of the Empire — the center of the Christian world whence should radiate the preaching of the Gospel.
St. Peter was crucified upside down under Nero, in A.D. 66 or 67. He was buried on the hill of the Vatican where recent excavations have revealed his tomb on the very site of the Basilica of St. Peter's.Saint Peter was a fisherman from Galilee who was called by Jesus to be his disciple. He was the first pope and is considered the first among the apostles. St. Paul was beheaded in Rome's Via Ostia on the spot where now stands the basilica bearing his name.Saint Paul was not one of the twelve apostles, but he was a devout Jew who persecuted Christians before his conversion on the road to Damascus. After his conversion, Paul became one of the most important figures in the early Church and was responsible for spreading the gospel throughout the Roman Empire.
Down the centuries Christian people in their thousands have gone on pilgrimage to the tombs of these Apostles.The Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul is a major feast day in the Catholic Church. It is celebrated with special liturgies, processions, and feasts. In many churches, the relics of Saint Peter and Saint Paul are displayed for veneration. The Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul is a time to remember the importance of these two apostles and to reflect on their legacy for the Church.
It is also a time to reflect on our own faith and commitment to Christ.
Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Saints Peter and Paul, Pray for Us!
To Jesus through Mary!
