I absolutely adore St. Peter. I love reading about him. I am comforted knowing that he had flaws just like all of us but in the end he died a martyr and I am so proud of him.
Conversely, today I consider hard times to having a hard time finding a parking spot to go shopping. How much we have changed in two millenia.
I just finished a paperback book By Archbishop Timothy Dolan, called “To Whom Shall We Go? Lessons from the Apostle Peter” and it is a geat read if you love St. Peter, I highly recommend it. You will also see a side of Archbishop Dolan you would not expect, so open about his life and family. I loved pages 150-152 especially where he writes about how St. Peter asks to be upside down because he is not worthy of being crucified in the same manner of our Lord.
