Saints Philip and James, Apostles – Feast
First reading – 1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“because the gospel will save you only if you keep believing exactly what I preached to you – believing anything else will not lead to anything”. This Word of God is very important because St. Paul is very precise. You must believe EXACTLY what he preached. Believing anything else will not lead to anything. This is important because we would like to add to the gospel what is convenient to us and what is comfortable to us. This is unacceptable. We must believe exactly what is in the gospel. So, we must be faithful to the essence of the preaching of the Apostles. That is why we also celebrate their feast and maintain a special devotion to them. We want to believe exactly what they preached. The devotion to the Apostles is very vital to remain faithful to their teachings. To follow exactly what they preached and nothing else. Let’s reflect: How much authentic is my faith to the teachings of the Apostles?
