Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles

Reflection

Today the Church celebrates the feast day of Sts. Peter & Paul. St. Augustine of Hippo said of them: “Both apostles share the same feast day, for these two were one; and even though they suffered on different days, they were as one. Peter went first, and Paul followed. And so we celebrate this day made holy for us by the apostles' blood. Let us embrace what they believed, their life, their labors, their sufferings, their preaching, and their confession of faith.”
