Peter, Paul, and Mary: A Priest’s Reflection on 22 Years of Fatherhood | Sunday Homily 6.29.25

On the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reflects on the lives of two great martyrs, the beauty of the priesthood, and the unexpected ways God forms us—through tension, humility, and love.

 

This isn’t just a feast day homily. It’s a deeply personal testimony of 22 years of priesthood. Fr. Meyer opens his heart to share:

 

🔑 Why Peter was chosen, even though Paul seemed more gifted

💔 What seminary never taught him about true fatherhood

🏡 How the men and women of his parishes shaped his priesthood

🕊 The power of consecration to Our Lady—and the witness of the Church as Bride

 

From humorous insights to tender stories, this homily weaves theology, gratitude, and lived experience into a powerful reminder: someone is always watching—and we are all called to be witnesses.

 

🙏 Saints Peter and Paul, and Mary, pray for us.
