Taking the Sermon Home

The commemoration of apostles Peter and Paul happens is June 29, which happens to fall on a Sunday this year. Our readings today remember the courage of these early disciples of Jesus, and inspire us with their stories of bold faith. The color for the day is red, as the tradition remembers Peter and Paul as martyrs.

Describe a situation in which you had to defend your faith.

  •  In what ways were you challenged? 
  • How did you respond, and what gave you the strength you needed? 

Religious persecution is not only a thing of the past.

  • Where do you read about religious intolerance in our world today? 
  • What is our role as Christians in light of continued persecution?
