Feast of Saints Peter and Paul 2015
As Roman Catholics, our home is Rome because it is the symbol of the Eternal City. St. Leo the Great tells us that God did not want the story of the murderous Romulus and Remus to remain the foundation of the city that people remember, but God would send two other brothers who were bound together in their love of God – Saints Peter and Paul. This is the day that we celebrate these two brothers in Christ becoming perfect Christians through the shedding of their blood. It is truly amazing that we know so much about these two men who lived so long ago. St. Peter’s great heart was the essential aspect of his character that Christ loved so much. We must possess the same confidence that St. Peter showed in the face of adversity.
