About Saint Peter the Apostle
Simon Peter was a first-century Jewish fisherman from Galilee whom Jesus called among the Twelve and named Peter. He confessed Jesus as Messiah, failed through denial, and received a renewed pastoral charge from the risen Christ. Acts portrays him leading the Jerusalem Church; ancient testimony connects his final ministry and martyrdom with Rome.
Prayer
Pray with Saint Peter the Apostle
God of mercy, you called Saint Peter, restored him after denial, and made his faith a service to the Church. Through his intercession, strengthen the pope, steady us after failure, and give us courage to confess Christ. Teach every leader to feed your flock with love. Amen.
