Gospel reflections
The Apostles Peter and Paul stand before us as witnesses. They never tired of preaching and journeying as missionaries from the land of Jesus to Rome itself.
Their lives, though, were not neat and linear. Both were deeply religious: Peter was one of the very first disciples and Paul was “zealous for the traditions of his ancestors” Yet they also made great mistakes: Peter denied the Lord, while Paul persecuted the Church of God. Both were cut to the core by questions asked by Jesus: “Simon son of John, do you love me?”; “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” Peter was grieved by Jesus’ questions, while Paul was blinded by his words. Jesus called them by name and changed their lives. After all that happened, he put his trust in them, in one who denied him and one who persecuted his followers, in two repentant sinners. We may wonder why the Lord chose not to give us two witnesses of utter integrity, with clean records and impeccable lives. Why Peter, when there was John? Why Paul, and not Barnabas?
