Whenever I read about this episode of the Apostles being sent out in pairs, I always wonder who got paired up with Judas, and what happened on their trip.

Driving this morning and listening to EWTN Morning Glory, I heard Deacon Harold say that some people put their politics before their faith. I need to use that opportunity to let people know what the Catholic Church believes. Thanks again for this great Catholic site.

So true, Sts. Peter and Paul preached most powerfully the ‘new way’. Even today, churches require lay people be sent out in twos to administer the sacrament of Holy Eucharist, or parishes that deliver food hampers to the homeless must go in twos. Not only to support each other, but to be witnesses. It is astounding that Christianity continues to spread through severe adversity. It is because of the strong foundation laid down by the Apostles Peter and Paul, and those who followed, and continue to follow in their footsteps that Jesus’ mission remains viable. These are the great witnesses of the past, the present and those to come who will keep the Word of God alive. God bless.

Being reminded every day to listen to His Voice and not hardened your hearts, this reflection nudges me to actively listen to those voices of “Peter and Paul”. Thank goodness for these guys!

Thanks Dan.Your opening sentence really struck a chord in me.How Jesus sent them out two by two to evangelize and spread the word.No need for sending out troops and armies to conquer and divide.His word and teachings are enough.If only the world would listen.

Just heard an excellent homely at church last sunday and it made the same point with which you end your wonderful essay today. The point was that the best way for many of us to get involved in evangelization is to live our lives in line with the teachings of Jesus… i.e. go get our hands dirty and focus on one good dead at a time. Lent is coming! Thanks Dan.

Thank you for your thoughts on Peter and Paul. I have a question that I hope you or fellow readers in Christ can help me with. How do I respond to Catholics in politics who have the power to pass laws on abortion of all kinds.

Peter and Paul…a couple of extraordinary guys out there spreading the word and paving the way of our church. Really amazing task. Never thought of it that way. Thank you for a pointing out a great “moment” in Catholic history.
