Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles
June 29, 2025<\/a>
Acts 12:1-11<\/a> | 2 Tm 4:6-8, 17-18<\/a> | Mt 16:13-19<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor this we toil and struggle, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the savior of all. \u201d <\/em>~1 Timothy 4:10<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been working in \u201cintentional\u201d mission for much of my life. I say \u201cintentional\u201d because every baptized Christian is in mission by virtue of their acceptance of Jesus Christ. Intentional, to me, means following the call, inspired by the Holy Spirit, that I received at my baptism. My mission<\/a> has taken me to so many places outside the comfort of my own \u201cAmerican\u201d confines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my over 30 years of travels, I have witnessed Christians being persecuted<\/a> both directly and indirectly. I am amazed at their witness to Christ in the face of certain suffering. I have even had Muslims and Buddhists put their lives at risk in order to shield me from harm. It makes me question the depths of my faith. How would I handle such oppression? Do I witness as St. Peter did? Romans 3:10 comes to mind when I face the challenges of our modern world<\/a>: \u201cThere is no one just, not one.\u201d As today\u2019s readings highlight for us, Paul was also disappointed in a world that falls further away from God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I read the Scriptures \u2014 Gospels, Acts, and the Letters \u2014 I begin to have a deeper understanding of the challenges the prophets, Jesus, and the first followers faced. It is never easy for someone who dedicates one\u2019s life to building the Kingdom of God. God\u2019s answer to the prophets was, \u201cI am God, go and proclaim the Good News.\u201d And Jesus himself said not to take anything extra with you. Not very assuring, is it? How many times do we read \u201cdo not fear\u201d in the Bible? We must trust God, and that will be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am often asked why I stay in such a dangerous place like South Sudan<\/a>. Indeed, I ask myself that very same question. There are divinely inspired reasons why. The more chaos I experience, the closer to God I draw. That is why the lives of St. Peter and St. Paul resonate with me. They had strengths and weaknesses and met overwhelming difficulties. Jesus mandated that they both lead the Church despite their shortcomings. Am I, too, worthy? Can I do this despite my weaknesses?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I understand the Scriptures<\/a> much better since mission. I now have a deeper understanding for the trials and tribulations St. Paul had to face. I have a much more developed sense of Jesus and what he did for us. For me, this is reason enough to stay and work in South Sudan. I haven\u2019t yet come to the point of shedding my blood. The cross I am asked to bear isn\u2019t nearly as heavy as what Jesus carried. Peter confessed Christ the Messiah. I try to do that too, with hope for an eternal life and a time where all the chaos will be set right. Hope springs eternal. Praise the Lord for the grace to proclaim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blessings and peace to all who struggle for the Kingdom of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maryknoll Lay Missioner Gabe Hurrish,<\/a> who joined the Maryknoll Lay Missioners in 2017, serves in South Sudan, a country wracked by armed conflict, displacement and hunger. A lifelong missioner, he has worked overseas for over 30 years in 11 countries, mostly in Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
