Does anyone have a devotion to St. Peter?

Peter is my confirmation name, and I’ve been thinking about different Saints to study and develop a “relationship” with.

I know it may be a little silly to think this, but I feel St. Peter might be too “busy” to pray for me.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Bryan
 
I think that intercession of the saints is something too mysterious for us to comprehend fully. As far as I know, no one really understand how they hear us at all, other than deferring to God setting it up. If He can set it up so the saints can hear us, He can set it up so that they can hear all of us.

“Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.” (Psalm 139:6)
 
St. Peter is a permanent fixture that is eternal, the occupied a body like ours for a while.

So basically, more than just a static rock, I say he could be seen as part of the fabric of the universe, like all the saints. So when you and a million others pray to one “node” of Christianity then all of your prayers are combined like the wave patterns from a million pebbles dropped all over a lake. Each one affects everything, though instantly not like the water where you can watch it go. Together they make a beautiful mosaic. It’s kind of like getting to hear the heavenly orchestra tuning up for a great concert!

And yes, I agree St. Peter would love to pray for you and undoubtedly already has – could be why you are attracted to him.

I have a devotion to St. Peter. As a convert from Evangelical Protestantism, I was astonished to discover the real meaning of Peter’s ministry. I find it something epic altogether. I have composed a prayer for the intercession of St. Peter and even a list of meditations on him.

I have a devotion to St. Peter, he’s so human! And Christ founded the church on him. Great inspiration. I also seesome of myself in him which helps a bit. He’d be happy to pray for you, thats what Catholics do for each other! And now that he is no longer constrained by time he’s never to busy to pray for you either
