Reflection: On this day we celebrate the twin founders of the Church in Rome. St. Peter, originally called Simon, a fisherman who became leader of the apostles and the rock on which the Church is built, died by crucifixion in Rome around the year 64. St. Paul, Saul the Pharisee who became the ‘Apostle of the Gentiles’, was martyred by beheading around the year 67. Both proclaim with their lives that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.
