St. Peter the Apostle - also known as Simon Peter, Cephas, or "The Rock" - was the leader of the twelve disciples, the disciple chosen by Jesus Christ to lead His Church, and the first Pope, the Vicar of Christ. Martyred for the faith in Rome, his courageous example inspires countless Christians every day, is the namesake of cities such as St. Petersburg and Saint-Pierre, and is venerated around the world as the patron saint of netmakers, shipbuilders, and fishermen. This prayer journal contains beautiful illustrations and a treasury of information to help increase your devotion: a thorough biography of St. Peter from the Catholic Encyclopedia; a novena; a selection of scriptural passages; a prayer to St. Peter; and 75 lined pages for you the record your own notes and prayer intentions.
