St. Augustine on Saints Peter & Paul | The Rock, the Keys & the One True Church

About this sermon

Today we celebrate the glorious Feast of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul with a timeless sermon from St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo. In this profound homily, St. Augustine explains Christ's words to St. Peter, the meaning of "Upon this rock I will build My Church," the authority of the keys, the unity of the Catholic Church, and the extraordinary conversion of St. Paul from persecutor to Apostle. Discover why Peter's confession of faith points to Christ as the true Rock, how the Apostles became shepherds of Christ's flock, and how both Saints sealed their witness with martyrdom in Rome. This sermon is a powerful meditation on apostolic authority, the unity of the Church, repentance, faithful shepherding, and the call to imitate the lives of the Apostles. May Saints Peter and Paul pray for the Church and for all who seek Christ.
