Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul -- June 29, 2025


Because today we celebrate two strong pillars of our church who lived during the time that the New Testament was written, our readings feature significant events from their lives.  We hear how Peter is freed from prison by an angel the night before he is to be executed.  Paul, knowing that he would soon give his life for his faith, writes a farewell to his close friend and fellow disciple, Timothy.  In the Gospel, Peter proclaims Jesus as the Messiah, the Christ.  May their strong faith in the Lord be a model for us.
