SUMMARY:SOLEMNITY: Sts PETER & PAUL\, APOSTLES
DESCRIPTION:St. Peter\nPeter’s original name was Simon. Christ Himself gave him the name Cephas or Peter when they first met and later confirmed it. This name change was meant to show both Peter’s rank as leader of the apostles and the outstanding trait of his character — Peter (in Hebrew Kephas) the Rock. Peter was born in Bethsaida on the Sea of Galilee. Like his younger brother Andrew\, he was a fisherman and dwelt at Capernaum. Peter’s house often became the scene of miracles\, since the Master would stay there whenever He was teaching in that locality. Together with his brothers John and Andrew\, Peter belonged to the first of Jesus’ disciples (John 1:40-50). \nAfter the ascension\, Peter always took the leading role\, exercising the office of chief shepherd that Christ had entrusted to him. He delivered the first sermon on Pentecost and received the first Gentiles into the Church (Cornelius; Acts 10:1). Paul went to Jerusalem “to see Peter.” After his miraculous deliverance from prison (Easter\, 42 A.D.)\, Peter “went to a different place\,” most probably to Rome. Details now become scanty; we hear of his presence at the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15:1)\, and of his journey to Antioch (Gal. 2:11). \nIt is certain that Peter labored in Rome as an apostle\, that he was the city’s first bishop\, and that he died there as a martyr\, bound to a cross (67 A.D.). According to tradition he also was the first bishop of Antioch. He is the author of two letters\, the first Christian encyclicals. His burial place is Christendom’s most famous shrine\, an edifice around whose dome are inscribed the words: Tu es Petrus\, et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam. \nPatron: Against frenzy; bakers; bridge builders; butchers; clock makers; cobblers; Exeter College Oxford; feet problems; fever; fishermen; harvesters; locksmiths; longevity; masons; net makers; papacy; Popes; ship builders; shipwrights; shoemakers; stone masons; Universal Church; watch makers; Poznan\, Poland; Rome; Diocese of Jackson\, Mississippi; Diocese of Las Vegas\, Nevada; Diocese of Marquette\, Michigan; Archdiocese of Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania; Diocese of Providence\, Rhode Island; Diocese of Scranton\, Pennsylvania. \nSymbols: Two keys saltire; pastoral staff and two large keys; inverted cross; inverted cross and two keys saltire; crowing cock; fish; two swords; patriarchal cross and two keys saltire; two keys and a scroll; sword.\nOften portrayed as: Bald man\, often with a fringe of hair on the sides and a tuft on top; book; keys; man crucified head downwards; man holding a key or keys; man robed as a pope and bearing keys and a double-barred cross. \n___________________________________________ \nSt. Paul\nPaul\, known as Saul (his Roman name) before his conversion\, was born at Tarsus in the Roman province of Silicia about two or three years after the advent of the Redeemer. He was the son of Jewish parents who belonged to the tribe of Benjamin\, was reared according to the strict religious-nationalistic party of the Pharisees\, and enjoyed the high distinction of Roman citizenship. \nAfter receiving baptism and making some initial attempts at preaching\, Paul withdrew into the Arabian desert (c. 34-37 A.D.)\, where he prepared himself for his future mission. During this retreat he was favored with special revelations\, Christ appearing to him personally. Upon his return to Damascus he began to preach but was forced to leave when the Jews sought to kill him. Then he went to Jerusalem “to see Peter.” Barnabas introduced him to the Christian community\, but the hatred of the Jews again obliged him to take secret flight. The following years (38-42 A.D.) he spent at Tarsus until Barnabas brought him to the newly founded Christian community at Antioch\, where both worked a year for the cause of Christ; in the year 44 he made another journey to Jerusalem with the money collected for that famine stricken community. \nThe first major missionary journey (45-48) began upon his return as he and Barnabas brought the Gospel to Cyprus and Asia Minor (Acts 13-14). The Council of Jerusalem occasioned Paul’s reappearance in Jerusalem (50). Spurred on by the decisions of the Council\, he began the second missionary journey (51-53)\, traveling through Asia Minor and then crossing over to Europe and founding churches at Philippi\, Thessalonia (his favorite)\, Berea\, Athens\, Corinth. He remained almost two years at Corinth\, establishing a very flourishing and important community. In 54 he returned to Jerusalem for the fourth time. \nPaul’s third missionary journey (54-58) took him to Ephesus\, where he labored three years with good success; after visiting his European communities\, he returned to Jerusalem for a fifth time (Pentecost\, 58). There he was seized by the Jews and accused of condemning the Law. After being held as a prisoner for two years at Caesarea\, he appealed to Caesar and was sent by sea to Rome (60 A.D.). Shipwrecked and delayed on the island of Malta\, he arrived at Rome in the spring of 61 and passed the next two years in easy confinement before being released. The last years of the saint’s life were devoted to missionary excursions\, probably including Spain\, and to revisiting his first foundations. In 66 he returned to Rome\, was taken prisoner\, and beheaded a year later. His fourteen letters are a precious legacy; they afford a deep insight into a great soul. \nPatron: Against snakes; authors; Cursillo movement; evangelists; hailstorms; hospital public relations; journalists; lay people; missionary bishops; musicians; poisonous snakes; public relations personnel; public relations work; publishers; reporters; rope braiders; rope makers; saddlemakers; saddlers; snake bites; tent makers; writers; Malta; Rome; Poznan\, Poland; newspaper editorial staff\, Archdiocese of Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania; Diocese of Covington\, Kentucky; Diocese of Birmingham\, Alabama; Diocese of Las Vegas\, Nevada; Diocese of Providence\, Rhode Island; Diocese of Worcester\, Massachusetts. \nSymbols: Book and sword\, three fountains; two swords; scourge; serpent and a fire; armour of God; twelve scrolls with names of his Epistles; Phoenix; palm tree; shield of faith; sword; book.\nOften portrayed as: Thin-faced elderly man with a high forehead\, receding hairline and long pointed beard; man holding a sword and a book; man with 3 springs of water nearby; \nSpread Good NewsTweet\n				Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n				Telegram\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			MoreShare on Tumblr
