Summary/Abstract: Our forever holy Church has determined that, on 29 June of every year, we must grace with spiritual joy our most sacred and worshiped apostles Peter and Paul. It is, however, not easy to transpose into human speech their worthy deeds meant to preach and spread the evangelic word, because only God knows the toils, hardships and sacrifices placed by them on the altar of the apostolic mission, further to the Lord’s ascension and encirclement with the “upper power” through the grace of the Holy Spirit. Their wonderful deeds engulf the mind, while their teachings and their inspired interpretations of the words of the Holy Gospel spread their names throughout the entire Christian world, so that the words of the Psalmist are truly fitting for them: “the entire world has knowledge of their annunciation and their words have touched the edge of this world”.
