Ss. Peter & Paul: What To Do When The Pope Is In Prison?

About this sermon

"Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing by the Church unto God for him." (Acts 12:5) On the great Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, this inspiring homily reflects on the Church's constant duty to pray for the Successor of St. Peter, especially during times of trial. Drawing from Acts 12, the examples of St. Catherine of Siena, St. Ambrose, St. Augustine, and the lives of the Apostles, this sermon reminds us that the answer to confusion in the Church is not despair—but prayer, fidelity, and charity. The second half of the sermon turns to the heroic love of Christ demonstrated by Saints Peter and Paul, challenging every Catholic to imitate their courage, perseverance, and wholehearted devotion. Whether you are a priest, religious, or lay faithful, this sermon offers encouragement to deepen your prayer life and place your trust completely in Christ and His Church.
