Sts. Peter and Paul: Quote of the Day XXXIX

"The Feast of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul is at the same time a grateful memorial of the great witnesses of Jesus Christ and a solemn confession for the Church: one, holy, catholic and apostolic. It is first and foremost a feast of catholicity. The sign of Pentecost - the new community that speaks all languages and unites all peoples into one people, in one family of God -, this sign has become a reality. Our liturgical assembly, at which Bishops are gathered from all parts of the world, people of many cultures and nations, is an image of the family of the Church distributed throughout the earth."--Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI

St. Peter is definitely working miracles still...just saying. I know many of us look to recent saints or those awaiting canonization to perform miracles, but on his feast day, St. Peter was rocking it.
