SS Peter and Paul

I've never had a particular devotion to these saints in the sense that I do for particular personal patron saints, although I have a great devotion to their Letters.  Perhaps the times warrant a more intense devotion to these fathers in the faith.  They are frequently depicted in art appearing to various saints.  I believe Catherine of Sienna was especially devoted to them as well.  How much we need them today!

    Happy Feast Terry! Did you know that today's feast is so important in the East that it even has it's own "Lent?" The Peter and Paul Fast begins the Monday after the Feast of All Saints (in the East All Saints is celebrated the Sunday after Pentecost) and lasts until June 28. Since it's based on the movable date of Pentecost, it can be as long as 23 days or as short as 7 days.
