Why
celebrate Saints Peter and Paul on the same day?
(Vatican Radio) Veronica Scarisbrick asks scripture scholar
Mark Benedict Coleridge, Archbishop of Brisbane in Australia, to shed
light on on the figures of Saints Peter and Paul on the day, the
29th of June that the Church remembers them in a special way each year.
Listen to Archbishop of Brisbane in Australia, Mark
Benedict Coleridgein a programme produced by Veronica Scarisbrick:
Archbishop Coleridge explains how Saints Peter and Paul
fought mightily in their lifetime but eventually their stories converged
and their paths crossed in the most decisive way. Both these apostles, he goes
on to say, were among the Christian leaders in Rome to be swept away in the
tide of blood that came with the persecution of the Emperor Nero. Both suffered
a martyr's death, Paul was beheaded, Peter crucified. And in the moment of
their death they found their way so completely and so profoundly to Jesus
crucified and Risen that they found their way to one another
