This Sunday, June 29, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, and on this occasion, the traditional Peter’s Pence collection takes place. This is a concrete way to support the Holy Father in his mission of service to the universal Church. Peter’s Pence is a gesture of communion and participation in the Pope’s mission to proclaim the Gospel, promote peace, and spread Christian charity. Peter’s Pence is an offering that may be small, but has a profound symbolic value: it expresses love and trust for the Holy Father, Peter’s successor. It is a tangible gesture of closeness to the Pope’s mission of spreading the Gospel and promoting charity and love worldwide.
