This is the defining moment of the week. St. Paul was a narrow minded bigot who literally saw the light. St. Peter was a coward who ran away three times at the decisive moment and became the Rock. These men are attractive and human.

I went to a large mass for the London Oratory School at the Brompton Oratory. I wonder what they thought of the fine sermon.

I am already being poured out like a libation,
and the time of my departure is at hand.
I have competed well; I have finished the race;
I have kept the faith.

(Letter of St. Paul to Timothy 4:8-6 17-18)
