Prayer:
St. Peter, the Rock, and St. Paul, Apostle to the Nations, when the Lord called you, you answered and spread the Gospel’s Good News far and wide. Intercede for us, that we may serve Christ as you did – to the ends of the earth. Pray that we may proclaim the name of Jesus in good times and bad. St. Peter and St. Paul, pray that our life’s earthly adventure may end in Heaven. Amen.
