“Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …

Today, June 29, the Church commemorates the feast day of Saints Peter and Paul. This celebration has been a longstanding tradition dating back to as early as 258. These two saints are considered the founders of the See of Rome, as they preached, ministered, and were martyred there. Peter was a fisherman from Galilee, introduced to Jesus by his brother Andrew. Jesus renamed him Cephas, which means "Rock," as he was to be the foundation upon which Christ built His Church. Peter was a loyal follower of Jesus, being the first to recognize Him as the Messiah and pledge his allegiance to Him until death. Making mistakes, such as losing faith and betraying Jesus, Peter was still chosen to be the shepherd of God's flock. In his role as the first Pope, he led the Apostles and ensured that they maintained their true faith. He spent his final years in Rome, leading the Church through persecution and ultimately being martyred in the year 64. St. Peter was buried on Vatican Hill, and St. Peter's Basilica was built over his tomb. On the other hand, St. Paul was an Apostle to the Gentiles. His letters in the New Testament provide insight into his life and the early Church's faith. Before his conversion, he was known as Saul, a devout Jewish pharisee who persecuted Christians. However, he experienced a profound conversion on his way to Damascus, where he was blinded by a great light and heard Jesus' voice. He was baptized, and named Paul and spent the rest of his life preaching the Gospel to the Gentiles. He was imprisoned and beheaded in Rome in the year 67 and is buried in the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls. St. Augustine of Hippo once said of these two apostles that they shared the same feast day and were as one, even though they suffered on different days. Let us honor their lives, labors, sufferings, preaching, and confession of faith as we celebrate this holy day.
