Do not be depressed. Do not let your weakness make you impatient. Instead, let the serenity of your spirit shine through your face. Let the joy of your mind burst forth - St. Peter Damian
He pours light into our minds, arouses our desire and gives us strength... As the soul is the life of the body, so the Holy Spirit is the life of our souls.
My dear brothers and sisters, as we celebrate the Solemnity of St. Peter and St. Paul today, let us strive to follow their footsteps and example of faith by truly hearing and answering our call to discipleship; by sacrificing all for Christ and His gospel; by working hard in our spiritual lives to change our weaknesses to strengths; and by being always firm and faithful to God in all we do.
My brothers and sisters, let us always participate prayerfully and actively in the celebration of the Eucharist because true and authentic participation in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, identifies us with Jesus’s Heart, sustains our strength along the pilgrimage of this life, makes us long for eternal life, and unites us even now to the Church in heaven, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and all the saints.
