Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles

says 📖

'But you,' he said, 'who do you say I am?'
Then Simon Peter spoke up and said, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.'
Jesus replied, 'Simon son of Jonah, you are a blessed man! Because it was no human agency that revealed this to you but my Father in heaven.
So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my community. And the gates of the underworld can never overpower it.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven: whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.'

🙏

We must ask ourselves what is it to be a disciple. Rates of depression and su***de are skyrocketing in our country, likely because of our spiritual deserts and that we have lost touch with the importance of regular reliance and reflection on God's presence in our lives.
God's power over us is infinite, to the extreme that even our impulse to love God comes directly from God Himself. The examples of Peter and Paul and their utter devotion to prayer, living out the Word, and passionate love for Christ are exactly what is missing in today's world.
May we be reminded of what truly matters despite of our busyness. May we take time to reflect on who we truly are and emulate God as our example.

⛪🛐

says 📖

But he said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless perhaps we should go and buy food for all this multitude.

Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

And they did so; and made them all sit down.

And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed them; and he broke, and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude.

And they did all eat, and were filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.



Are we trusting Him daily and letting God provide His blessing in His time? There are times when we thought that our budget won’t be able to make it through the week but then suddenly, God makes it happen. When we thought we couldn’t get by because bills are piled up, an emergency came up and yet He always provides. Gospel today speaks about feeding the thousands with just two fishes and five loaves. It is a reminder that He never lets us down. We just have to ask for his blessing, day by day, week by week and so on. He never falters. Thank you Lord for always providing.
