Today, we celebrate that God can build His Church through very different people united by one faith. The story of Saint Peter and Saint Paul reminds us that holiness does not require perfect personalities, but faithful hearts willing to serve.

No darkness is stronger than the authority of Christ. The growing attention given to exorcism in the Church today reminds us that evil is real, but God’s power remains greater and victorious.

Fear does not have the final word when Christ remains in the boat with us. The courage of the First Martyrs of Rome and the frightened disciples in the storm reminds us that faith grows strongest during moments of danger and uncertainty.

Reflect, today, upon anyone in your life whom you have written off. Perhaps they have hurt you over and over. Or perhaps they have chosen a life of grave sin. Look at that person in the light of this Gospel and know that there is always hope.
Reflect, today, upon the “mystery” of a soul who goes through this process of change and spiritual growth. If you find it difficult to find such an example to ponder, then turn to the lives of the saints.
Reflect, today, upon the possibility of that glorious moment. Imagine the freedom you will experience by allowing God to share the deepest sins and the deepest virtues of your life with all who share Heaven with you.
Reflect, today, upon those things in your life that seem to occupy your mental energy. What do you worry about, hope for, deeply desire? What do you falsely believe will relieve your interior struggles? What do you crave?
