The Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul:  

 

 June 29, 2008 

 

Be an example of faith to your brothers and sisters; let your faith inspire others to come to know Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God.

 

Acts of the Apostles:  12:1-11

Psalm 34

2nd Ltr of St. Paul to Timothy 4:4-8,17-18

Matthew 16:13-19

 

Belonging and the Body of Christ

 

Believe:  "For me to live is to have life in Christ."  How do these words of Saint Paul shape your daily living? 

Share:  Who do you say that the Son of Man is?"  How do you share with others your belief that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the life-giver - the rock on whom you build and live your life? 

Transform: How has belonging to Christ and to the Church changed your life, your marriage, the way you are a parent, or priest or religious?
