A POWERFUL NOVENA TO SAINTS PETER AND PAUL, APOSTLES (PILLARS OF THE CHURCH): DAY 6

O God, come to my aid+
R. O Lord, make haste to help me.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Pin on St. Peter & St. PaulOpening Prayer

Heavenly Father, we praise and thank you for the lives and missions of St. Peter and St. Paul, ardent apostles of Your beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. As you have enriched them with many graces and gifts, we ask you, Father, to meet our needs, both spiritual and material (ask for the grace you want to achieve). This we ask through the merits of your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the intercession of St. Peter and St. Paul. Amen.

Scriptural Reading (Galatians 2:7-20)

Once they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised had been entrusted to me, just as to Peter the gospel for the circumcised (for he who empowered Peter’s apostolate to the circumcision also empowered mine to the gentiles), and when they acknowledged the grace that had been given to me, then James and Cephas and John, who were the ones recognised as pillars, offered their right hands to Barnabas and to me as a sign of partnership: we were to go to the gentiles and they to the circumcised. They asked nothing more than that we should remember to help the poor, as indeed I was anxious to do in any case. However, when Cephas came to Antioch, then I did oppose him to his face since he was manifestly in the wrong. Before certain people from James came, he used to eat with Gentiles; but as soon as these came, he backed out and kept apart from them, out of fear of the circumcised. And the rest of the Jews put on the same act as he did so that even Barnabas was carried away by their insincerity. When I saw, though, that their behaviour was not true to the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of all of them, ‘Since you, though you are a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like the Jews?’ We who were born Jews and not gentile sinners have nevertheless learnt that someone is reckoned as upright not by practicing the Law but by faith in Jesus Christ; and we too came to believe in Christ Jesus so as to be reckoned as upright by faith in Christ and not by practicing the Law: since no human being can be found upright by keeping the Law. Now if we too are found to be sinners on the grounds that we seek our justification in Christ, it would surely follow that Christ was at the service of sin. Out of the question! If I now rebuild everything I once demolished, I prove that I was wrong before. In fact, through the Law, I am dead to the Law so that I can be alive to God. I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me. The life that I am now living, subject to the limitation of human nature, I am living in faith, faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.

The Word of the Lord…

—PAUSE FOR A MOMENT OF MEDITATION—

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

DAY 6 PRAYER

The Holy Apostles Saint Peter And Saint Paul Painting by Svitozar NenyukSaint Peter the Apostle, you who taught us to recognize the Divinity of JESUS when you proclaimed: “Thou art the Messiah, the SON of the Living GOD”. Obtain for us a true spirit of Faith and a total acceptance of the Revelation. Teach us to love and live in great charity. Protect our families, sanctify our souls, give us that grace we need in every moment of our lives. Glorious Saint Paul, zealous apostle, martyr for the love of Christ! Obtain for us a deep faith, a steadfast hope, and a burning love for our Lord, so that we can proclaim with you, “It is no longer I who live, But Christ who lives in me.” Help us to become apostles, serving the Church with a pure and undivided heart, witnessing to her truth and beauty amidst the darkness of our days. With you, we praise God our Father: ‘To him be the glory, in the Church and in Christ, now and forever.’ (make other particular requests). Amen.

Our Father…10 Hail Marys…Glory be… (For those seeking the ‘fruit of the womb’)

“When I saw, though, that their behaviour was not true to the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of all of them, ‘Since you, though you are a Jew, live like the “Gentiles and not like the Jews, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like the Jews?”

God, grant me the grace to live a life of the faith I proclaim. May my thoughts, words and actions be always points of reference when dealing with issues of faith and true Christianity.

Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.
