Martyrs in Rome

Pillars of the Church


How many people relate to these images of Sts. Peter and Paul 

If you do not how about the following. 


A fisherman and a Pharisee. 

One denied Jesus and the other persecuted Him.


When Peter first met The Lord he said, "Depart from me Lord for I am a sinful man."Lk. 5:8

St. Paul said "he was a fool for Christ's sake 1Cor. 4:10


Like Sts. Peter and Paul we are called to be saints and witnesses to Christ but like them we too are imperfect.


Rather than allow their sins to hold them back 

they used their sins to remind themselves of the boundless grace and mercy of God. 

"For where sin abounds, Grace abounds all the more." Rom. 5:20


This is why God’s grace is so Amazing;

He loves to take sinners and turn them into saints!
