My dear friends, Happy Solemnity of Peter and Paul! Isn't it amazing who God chose? There's Peter, who denied Jesus three times, and Paul, who once hunted down Christians. Yet, God turned them into pillars of our Church! This shows us that no matter how much we mess up, God takes "big sinners" and makes them "big saints." He doesn't look for perfect people; He looks for willing hearts. What an amazing God of second chances we have!

Today is the Solemnity of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. These two great men of the Church could not have done what they did if they had not personally encountered the Lord, and if they had not had a personal relationship with Him. We marvel at their great deeds for the sake of the Kingdom, but more so, we honor them because we know that they did it all with hearts full of love and gratitude for their personal Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. They were not just functionaries, but disciples who had been deeply touched personally by their Master.
