Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles

My Companions pray with me: We adore You Lord as we seek to find you in all things. We humbly seek Your forgiveness for missing the mark of living fully in Your love. Thank You for all Your gifts, especially those we so often take for granted. And please help us with all our needs, especially our health. Help us to have the passion of Your great Saints, Peter and Paul.

Birthdays Nancy Mulligan (6/23), Leo Albinak (6/28).
In memoriam: Patricia Mayer (6/19/14).

Keeping In-touch: Although the days of sunlight are the longest of the year, we seem to "run out of time" and "get be-hinder and be-hinder" on all we wish to accomplish. We had camper-trailer issues that needed to be fixed, it rained again on Wednesday flushing-out my tennis match, but we had wonderful meals with special friends this week.

The Readings: Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles

Some Commentary: Fr. John Foley, S. J.

My comments and an invitation for your comments: Peter responds correctly to the most important question of all that Jesus asks, "Who do you say I am?" The words of Peter's answer are correct. He really doesn't understand (more dramatically presented in Mark's Gospel). But he continues to follow Jesus and becomes "Rock." Paul persecutes the Church, then pours out his whole life for the glory of Jesus. Would that I could keep the passion and fortitude of these great disciples/apostles.
John
