13th Week of Ordinary Time C – Sunday – Saints Peter and Paul
Dear brothers and sisters, may the peace of our Lord Jesus be with you always. As we celebrate two great pillars of the Church—Saints Peter and Paul, we rejoice in how the Lord worked in their lives, as we give thanks that we see common elements in our own walk of faith. Two men so different in background, temperament, and personality, and yet united in their love for Christ and their total surrender to His will. This solemnity reminds us that the Church is built on the unity and joy we find in Peter following Christ, on him and his faith that the Son of the Living God has descended into our world to save us. Paul would follow suit and eventually be assigned by the Lord himself to preach this good news to all nations.
