FEAST OF SAINTS PETER AND PAUL – JUNE 28TH: This week the Church celebrates the Feast Day of Saints Peter and Paul. St Peter was one of the twelve Apostles and was made the first Pope of the Church by Christ himself (see Mat. 16:18) St56 Paul was a Pharisee and persecuted Christians in his early days, but had a miraculous conversion on his way to Damascus (see Acts 26:9-18). Bother Peter and Paul were Bishops, working tirelessly to convert Jews and Gentiles to the true Faith of Jesus Christ. Bother were murdered in Rome, Paul by beheading and Peter by being crucified upside-down as he did not think himself worthy to die in the same way as Our Lord. Let us ask for the intercession of Saints Peter and Paul, pillars of the Church and stalwarts of faith.

REFLECTION: COMPASSION:

The person in misery does not need to look what judges and criticize, but a comforting presence. Jesus looked at the ordinary people, and seeing how needy they were, he had compassion on them and began to minister them. Compassions means that I sufer with you; I accept into my heart the misery in yours; I become one with you in your pain. I may not be able to relieve that pain, but by understanding it and sharing it, I make it possible for you to bear it. Lord, give us warm and generous hearts so that we may be agents of your compassion to others.
