THE SOLEMNITY OF SAINTS PETER AND PAUL - PRINCIPAL APOSTLES OF JESUS THE CHRIST..........

Today the Universal Church commemorates the two men who before their call as Apostles of Jesus, or canonization as Christian Saints, were known as Simon Bar Jonah and Saul of Tarsus. These two principal apostles along with John the Evangelist and the others formed a foundational nucleus of faithful witnesses to proclaiming the Good News of Jesus' Resurrection and a Baptism of Faith in Christ and Fidelity to being joined to the Community of Believers in the Risen Christ. As we honor their apostleship, leadership, and evangelization, of the early Christian Church, even unto laying down their lives and dying as martyrs for the Faith, may we will strengthen our our own personal and communal discipleship, to be faithful witnesses to and for Christ TODAY, here and now in our homes, neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, wherever we are, whatever we do, to live the Gospel values we profess as followers of Jesus the Christ..........Saints Peter And Paul - Pray For Us, Fr. Troy
