Depending on God's Grace like Peter and Paul

As for me, the hour has come for me to be sacrificed; the time is here for me to leave this life. I have done my best in the race, I have run the full distance, and I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:6‭-‬7 GNBDK

“Good for you, Simon son of John!” answered Jesus. “For this truth did not come to you from any human being, but it was given to you directly by my Father in heaven.  And so I tell you, Peter: you are a rock, and on this rock foundation I will build my church, and not even death will ever be able to overcome it.
Matthew 16:17‭-‬18 GNBDK

Reflection:
Two very distinct personalities, one a learned scholar, Paul and t he other a passionate fisherman. Both of them had one thing in common; their burning love for Jesus. As the church celebrates the solemnity of these two pillars of our faith. Let us remember that both Peter and Paul relied not in their own strengths but solely on the Grace that comes from God.

Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to rely in his providence for all you need. May Jesus' words breathe  Spirit and life renewing your mind, heart, body and will. And may you always be lead by his Holy Spirit. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
