Saint Peter

by Anonymous from Bourg

This is the story of St. Peter.

He was an apostle of Jesus.

He was the founder of the Christian church according to Jesus.

He is said to be the keeper of the gates of Heaven.

This is what makes him a unique person and my hero.

It's unfathomable that anyone who would blindly follow someone for three years, listen to that person's teaching of love and forgiveness, and witness that person's execution would not be challenged. And yet, Saint Peter not only took up the challenge that was laid before him -- to lay the foundations for the church -- he risked and gave up his life for it. That, in my book, makes him a hero.
