This weekend we have a rare Sunday occurrence of the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, two very different men both pursuing the same mission… to share their witness of the Risen Christ and spread the Church established by Jesus himself. Peter was a simple fisherman, both imperfect and noble, a man chosen by Jesus to be preeminent among the disciples, yet one who denied even knowing Jesus the night before his Death. Paul was a scholar and a Pharisee, a firebrand determined to persecute the early Christians, yet – after his conversion - he became the Apostle to the Gentiles establishing new churches throughout the region. As Christians today, our faith rests on the shoulders of these two Apostles. Are we willing to take up their mission and share the good news of Jesus?
