The Feast of St Peter & St Paul
Jesus put this question
to his disciples: “Who do people
say the Son of Man is?” That
would not seem like a question that
we would be able to answer today.
But for us it can be translated into
the question of: “where do people
look for their happiness, their fulfilment,
their hope?” Everyone is looking
for these in their lives, some in
very strange places. The second question
Jesus asks is: “Who do you say
I am?” And Peter answers: “You
are the Christ, the Son of the living
God.” The core of our Christian
faith is that Jesus is the only one
who can teach us true human living.
He teaches it very clearly as the
way of love. That is the only way
to happiness and fulfilment and hope
– the only way to the fullness
of life. This has huge implications
for us in marriage, the sacrament
of love; in family life, the school
of love; and in our faith community,
the prophet of love. The practice
of our faith is measured mainly by
how we love God with our whole hearts
and how we love one another.

Second Reading

Paul was rejected, persecuted by enemies,
betrayed by false friends. Looking
back, he acknowledges that it was
only with God’s help that he
could have accomplished his ministry.
Gospel Matthew

Jesus gives Peter a new name –
The Rock – which would be the

QUESTIONS
PEOPLE ASK
 |
Q.
It appears that Peter and Paul
did not always get on too well
together. So, isn’t it odd
to celebrate the two of them in
the one feast? |
A.
One or two differences of strategy
would not mean that they were always
at odds with one another. They were
united in their dedication to Christ,
their missionary zeal and the courageous
witness of martyrdom. Another reason
for a joint celebration is to present
them as the founding fathers of the
church in Rome, then the political
capital of the world. Christians saw
them replacing Romulus and Remus,
traditionally regarded as thefounders
of Rome.
