29th June 2018 Friday 12th Week of Ordinary Time - Ss. Peter and Paul

Reflection
Acts 12:1-11, 2 Timothy 4:6-8,17-18, Matthew 16:13-19
“The Imperfect vessels”
Today, we celebrate the feast of Ss. Peter and Paul. What made them great? What made them become such important figures in the church? Were they perfect and flawless that God used their lives as His instruments?

Peter’s and Paul’s imperfections and their humanity enabled God to use their lives to reveal His greatness and glory.

As we celebrate this beautiful feast, we also rejoice at the good news that God does not call only perfect people to love and serve Him. Regardless of our imperfections and faults, we are His instruments in this world.

Today, Jesus asks us again, “Who do you say I am?”

Only when we truly experience Jesus as our Friend and Companion, Teacher and Master, can we place ourselves in His hands to be used for His purpose and glory.

Questions for reflection:
1) Do I know God’s will for me?

2) How can I let myself be an instrument of God to be used for His purpose?
