Today we honor the Veneration of the Chains of the Apostle Peter, a feast that reminds us of God’s power to break every bondage and to turn captivity into testimony. The chains that once bound Peter in a dark prison became symbols of deliverance when the angel of the Lord set him free. What once represented oppression now proclaims the triumph of God’s mercy.
This feast invites us to reflect on the many ways God still works in our lives:
- He breaks the chains of fear
- He frees us from burdens we cannot lift alone
- He strengthens us to stand firm in faith
- He transforms our trials into witness
The Apostle Peter’s chains remind us that no prison—physical, emotional, or spiritual—is beyond the reach of God’s liberating love. The same Lord who sent an angel to Peter still sends light into our darkest places and hope into our hardest seasons.
As we venerate these holy chains, may we also:
- Seek the courage to trust God in every confinement
- Pray for those who feel bound by hardship or sorrow
- Walk in the freedom Christ has given us
- Remember that God’s deliverance often comes quietly, but powerfully
“The Lord has sent His angel and delivered me.” — Acts 12:11
May this feast strengthen our faith and remind us that God is still a God of liberation, still a God of miracles, and still a God who breaks chains. 💕✌️🙏
