Today’s feast is in some sense a repetition of yesterday’s. In the early Church, on June 29 in Rome two stations were held: one at St. Peter’s, the other at the basilica of St. Paul-Outside-the-Walls, at the tomb of each of the two Apostles. Subsequently, the “Commemoration of St. Paul” was transferred to the following day. Yesterday, after emphasizing Peter’s prerogatives, the Church today recalls the special mission of Paul as Apostle of the Gentiles.
