The feast of Saints Peter and Paul is about more than their lives. It also honors their martyrdom. Pope Francis blessed the Pallia for the new Metropolitan Archbishops on their feast day, and presided at the Mass in St. Peter's Basilica. In his homily, the Holy Father focused on the teachings of Peter and Paul who answered that essential question in life – "Who is Jesus for me?" – by following Him as His disciples and by proclaiming the Gospel. Reflecting on how the Church is called to grow in the same way "by following the Lord, constantly and humbly seeking Him out," and by "preaching the Gospel before the world and opening people's hearts to the presence of God," the Pope invited the faithful to bring Jesus everywhere, "especially in those places where poverty, decay and marginalization are deeply rooted." He began his homily recalling the lives and choices of Peter and Paul, "two apostles in love with the Lord, two pillars of the faith of the Church."
