What do theologians and historians really know about the wife of St. Peter — if anything? In his Gospel, Matthew tells the story of Jesus performing a miracle to heal Peter’s mother-in -law, giving evidence that the future first pope had a wife. In one in his letters, St. Paul calls Peter’s wife as a disciple of Jesus. Later, Clement of Alexandra wrote that Peter had comforted his wife, before she died as a martyr. The Church also honored their disabled daughter, Petronilla, as a saint. Still, these scraps of information could not even fill a short biographical pamphlet on the saint’s spouse. -

The donations will help local Catholic Charities agencies continue to serve as “one of the most important local sources of food for literally thousands of our brothers and sisters in genuine need, particularly children,” through the summer months, when the shelves of its food pantries become emptier. -

President Donald Trump lauded the importance of faith in American life as a foundation for freedom in his speech at the 66th annual National Prayer Breakfast earlier this month. “Faith is central to American life and to liberty,” Trump said, “Our founders invoked our Creator four times in the Declaration of Independence. Our currency declares, ‘In God We Trust.’ And we place our hands on our hearts as we recite the Pledge of Allegiance and proclaim we are ‘One Nation Under God.’ ” -

Primera lectura Hch 2, 1-11Salmo Responsorial Salmo 103, 1ab y 24ac. 29bc-30. 31 y 34Segunda lectura 1 Cor 12, 3b-7. 12-13O bien: Gal 5, 16-25Secuencia Ven, Dios Espíritu Santo,y envíanos desde el cielotu luz, para iluminarnos. Ven ya, padre de los pobres, luz que penetra en las almas, dador de todos los dones. Fuente de todo consuelo, amable huésped de alma, paz en las horas de duelo.Eres pausa en al trabajo; brisa, en un clima de fuego; consuelo, en medio del llanto. Ven, luz santificadora, y entra hasta el fondo del alma de todos los que te adoran. Sin tu inspiración divina los hombres nada podemos y el pecado nos domina.Lava nuestras inmundicias, fecunda nuestras desiertos y cura nuestras heridas. Doblega nuestra soberbia, calienta nuestras frialdad, endereza nuestras sendas.Concede a aquellos que ponen en ti su fe y su confianza tus siete sagrados dones.Danos virtudes y méritos, danos una buena muerte y contigo el gozo eterno.
Evangelio Jn 20, 19-23O bien: Jn 15, 26-27; 16, 12-15
